THE American Society of Travel Agents has decided to move its World Travel Congress from Seville in Spain to New York city.

Reports from the US suggest the decision to move was taken in the hope more people will attend the event, the US’s equivalent of the ABTA convention.

Since the attacks on September 11, Hertz, Thrifty and Worldspan have dropped out of the congress. The main reason cited for cancelling was money rather than security.

The congress will now take place at the Jacob Javits Centre between November 4 and November 7.
