Our Proud Industry Associations and Affiliations
I've chosen the following industry trade organizations to align my agency with because of their strong reputation in the travel industry.
American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA)
ASTA has a code of ethics and is a fabulous community of travel agents devoted to the rights of both consumers and travel agents. They work strongly with government lobbying for passenger rights and are a strong governing body for professional travel agents.
National Association for Commissioned Travel Agents (NACTA)
NACTA is a fantastic association representing professional home-based travel agents. They work in conjunction with ASTA on many issues but offer additional training opportunities and resources geared specifically for the home-based agent and independent contractor.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)
CLIA is the world's largest cruise associationa and is dedicated to the promotion and growth of hte cruise industrty. CLIA is composed of 24 of the major cruise lines serving North America that operates pursuant to an agreement filed with the Federal Maritme Commission under the Shipping Act of 1984 and serves as a non-governmental consultative organization to the International Maritime Organization, an agency of the United Nations.*
