PTS ushers in a new era with its first conference and fresh branding

Coming together

At the end of September PTS held its first conference, with its Summer Soiree at Mercure Warwickshire Walton Hall Hotel & Spa. Attended by 80 members and 33 suppliers, the two-day event allowed delegates to hear more about how PTS is evolving, with news on the rebrand, various internal changes and IT updates that will benefit members, alongside a host of other developments. Guests enjoyed “suppliers on the sofa” sessions, a trade fair and a black-tie gala dinner, which featured a raffle for PTS’s charity partner, Julia’s House children’s hospice.

PTS executive director Emma Collis says: “A fantastic two days were had by all, and the feedback has been nothing short of amazing. We are extremely proud of all our PTS members and the hard work, resilience and dedication they show to their travel businesses day in, day out, and to see so many of them all come together under one roof has been an incredible experience.”

A fresh look

PTS’s rebrand includes a new website, logo, fonts and illustrations. As well as the “Making Selling Travel Simple” campaign, the team is also focused on its “Trust in Every Booking” message. 

Landen hopes the new branding will help the wider industry understand exactly what PTS offers. Features include currency hedging; merchant services, with card services through its in-house suppliers; franchise Atol; travel software; PTR compliance; supplier insurance; and trust account protection. 

Members use an admin platform that keeps everything all in one place, and can easily contact the friendly support team. They have access to more than 200 suppliers, alongside marketing opportunities, but can also work with their own suppliers within the PTS software, to truly make things simple.
