Federation of Tour Operators - FTO

FTO work on behalf of their members to ensure the continued long term success of the air inclusive holiday.

The vision of the Federation of Tour Operators (FTO) is to ensure the continued long term success of the air inclusive holiday by influencing governments and opinion formers on the benefits to consumers and other stakeholders of air inclusive holidays compared to other forms of holiday arrangements.

FTO and its members have been proactive in the field of holiday health, safety and hygiene for many years. We have a committed and proactive Health and Safety Committee attended by industry professionals, who are supported by the FTO Head of Health, Safety and Operational Support and independent technical experts in such areas as fire safety, security, food hygiene, health and transportation.

Through partnership, education, information and support, we continue to exercise a powerful influence for change on issues such as, health, safety and hygiene, and regulatory improvements overseas.
