About ASTA

ASTA (American Society of Travel Advisors) is the world's largest association of travel professionals. Our members include travel advisors and the companies whose products they sell such as tours, cruises, hotels, car rentals, etc. We are the leading advocate for travel advisors, the travel industry and the traveling public.
ASTA offers many benefits to its members and the traveling public. The majority of ASTA's members are travel agencies. However, travel suppliers, such as airlines, hotels, car rental firms, cruise lines, and tour operators join ASTA. We also have membership categories for students, travel schools, retail travel sellers, and others. ASTA is the organization for anyone related to the travel industry!
At our local Chapter meetings and events you'll meet fellow travel agents to network and share information with. We'll teach you how to build your business by introducing you to suppliers to develop a personal relationship with. You'll have the opportunity to attend annual conventions where you will learn the legalities of owning your own business and what you need to know to protect yourself as well as learn about how the ASTA organization looks out for it's members when laws and regulations are introduced that have a detrimental effect to your business.

Mission Statement

The American Society of Travel Advisors’ mission is to enhance the professionalism and profitability of member agents through effective representation in industry and government affairs, education and training, and by identifying and meeting the needs of the traveling public.
