Testimonials
Having the support of BETA has been tremendously important to me, both professionally and personally. It’s an organisation that truly stands for something meaningful. I feel part of a community that shares my passion for educational travel and understands its value. BETA not only connects me with like-minded professionals and trusted partners around the world, but also keeps me informed on emerging trends across the youth and student travel industry. Whenever I need a supplier, I always turn to the BETA membership first

An Association is only as good as the Team running it! I have been actively involved in educational travel for over 35 years and during that time I have been a member of numerous industry associations. Consequently, I am well placed to comment on what makes a good Association and BETA definitely qualifies with flying colours. As a very satisfied BETA member, I have no hesitation in recommending membership to any organisation involved with student, youth and educational travel in the UK
BETA is a unique association that brings together members from every part of the youth travel sector. Membership offers the perfect combination of marketing opportunities—like the Youth Travel Workshop and networking events—alongside access to market intelligence, training, and the ongoing support of a knowledgeable and responsive Secretariat. It’s a real asset to be part of such a dynamic and talented community
BETA has played an integral role in the growth of Anglo Educational Services over the years. Through both formal and informal events, we’ve been able to expand our partnerships across the UK and internationally. BETA remains a vital source of information, resources, and support for our sector, and continues to be a strong advocate for youth and educational travel
Before we joined BETA, we had found that homestay organisations, such as ours, were not well represented. We are firstly grateful for the moral support, which has been invaluable, and also for keeping us informed of any initiatives to support our sector
