For 60 years ABTA/The Travel Association has been at the heart of travel, its members providing holidays to millions of Brits. ABTA members have catered for customers from the birth of the package holiday to booking a last-minute break online.

To celebrate our 60th anniversary, we are inviting all primary schools in the York area to investigate their holiday heritage and take part in our 60 Years On Top Of The World Schools Art Challenge, to design three postcards to visualise the past, present and future. There are fantastic prizes for the national winners including a holiday in Malta for the winning teacher, a seven-day holiday on the Costa del Sol for the winning pupil’s family and a three-day trip to either London or Paris for the class. Parents and teachers will be delighted that the project has been designed to integrate with the school curriculum.

Travel is an important part of our lives. Through travel, children and adults can learn about different cultures as well as relax and have fun and importantly, how vital sustainable travel and tourism is to communities across the world.
