BETA exists solely to represent the needs of our members. We operate a dedicated full time secretariat to serve and support our growing network of members. Hear more from members on why they value their membership. If you are keen to find out more, please get in touch

  • 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

  • Being a member of BETA provides a sense of community and support particularly in these difficult times. The information that BETA shares and the work they do for the sector in lobbying parliament provides us with an important voice

  • The value of BETA membership truly stands out yea after year. The team consistently provides insightful updates, meaningful support, and real opportunities to connect and grow. No other trade association offers the same level of service, and I’m very thankful to the dedicated BETA team for their ongoing commitment to members

  • BETA has significantly raised the profile of our international education programmes at home and overseas, extended our networks online and offline and has been a gem of knowledge and reliable advice during the pandemic

  • BETA truly represents the interests of the youth travel industry. From informing members of the latest updates to creating business opportunities. I would highly recommend membership to anyone in the sector looking to network and thrive

  • We are very proud members of BETA and see our membership as crucial to our business recovery plans. The efforts that BETA has made to lobby government and apply pressure to the powers that be are testament to their importance within our sector

  • Being a member of BETA has helped our organisation to increase business and grow our network within the youth travel industry through attendance at their in person and online networking and trading events

  • BETA has been a great support to our organisation, consistently providing timely information, expert webinars, and valuable insights across a wide range of topics. Even when budgets were tight, our membership proved to be excellent value and helped us stay connected to the wider industry

  • 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
