We now know that the new EU Entry/Exit System (EES) has a target go live date of 10th November 2024. This will initially mean a big change for UK holidaymakers when travelling to Europe. We’re here to support members and your customers on this matter.   We are in close contact with the European Commission and UK Government departments responsible for EES, and have information on abta.com and in the MemberZone to help you. You can expect to hear more from us on EES in the run up to implementation including in a member conference call in September. Find out more here - https://lnkd.in/dxjVjCu6 #ees #travel #europe #travelindustry

A pleasure to speak with Steve Holden on LBC yesterday evening to talk through the launch of the EU's ETIAS visa waiver scheme next year - what we know and what we currently don't. Changes like this can be worrying and confusing for some people and one of ABTA's focuses in its media work is to clarify what's going on and give sound advice. You can see more about ETIAS (and the other new scheme, EES) at ABTA's website here https://lnkd.in/euUruCr6
