Belgian Travel Confederation

The Belgian Travel Confederation (BTC) is a confederation of several associations of the Belgian tourism sector, created in 2022 and whose primary objective is to unite the tourism sector in Belgium, the crisis having accentuated the need to join forces.

The BTC also has major projects linked to the national and European recovery plans and the will to achieve them, for all Belgian actors active in tourism in Belgium

Who we are

The BTC now unites the two sister associations, the UPAV (Professional Union of Travel Agencies) and the VVR (Vlaamse Vereniging reisbureaus), which initiated the project. The BTC aims to attract other associations in the sector, because "there is strength in numbers".

What we do

We are now concentrating on four projects that we feel are essential: further training, analysis and provision of data, and sustainability. Finally, we are reintroducing labelling under a name that is already familiar to the sector, CERta (CErtified Travel Agent).
