By now, you may have noticed some changes to the ATP layout... mainly in the 'Points' sections. We are trying to make ATP as user friendly as possible, whether you are claiming your CPD points or trying to find out more about what ATP offers. Some of the CPD categories may be under new headings - if you can't find what you're looking for, just ask!

We will also try to provide you with more information on training or events that are mapped and claimable with ATP - this will most likely be listed in our monthly newsletters.

If you have any questions, please email the ATP team at administrator@travelprofessional.co.uk.

On 20-21 April, ABTA are hosting a Travel Law Seminar in London. As an ATP member, you receive a 10% discount on all ABTA seminars and events. If you attend both days, you will receive a discount of over £30.00 - that's more than the initial cost of your ATP membership!

In addition to this, bookings before 20 February attract a 10% 'early bird' discount, which will double the saving to 20% off!

For further details, please visit the ABTA website at www.abta.com and select the 'Events' menu option.

Over the coming weeks, some of you will be receiving emails from us about renewing your membership. You do need to have your 20 points claimed for the year in order to do this, but after that the process is fairly easy!

Simply log into your ATP account, and a menu option called 'Renew my membership' will be listed on the left-hand side of the page. Follow the prompts and your renewal application will come through to the ATP Team. However, should you have any queries or need some assistance, send us an email at administrator@travelprofessional.co.uk.

To start 2010 off on the right track (or help with those new year resolutions!) have a look through your ATP benefits to see which ones you can take advantage of. At the moment, there are many fitness discounts - from buying new equipment to gym memberships. Or, at the opposite end of the scale, there are offers to receive free chocolate gifts when you buy a Spa voucher for Valentines day!

Remember, to access your benefits, you need to login to the ATP website. Through your benefits tab, select the 'Access ATP Benefits' option from the menu. Your username and password will be listed here (they are different to your login details); simply click on the link supplied to start searching.
