At ASTA we are travel advisor evangelists, telling your story to consumers and turning them into true believers in the value you provide.

• With appearances, stories, and quotes in numerous media outlets like Good Morning America, USA Today, MSNBC, The New York Times and more, ASTA generates tens of millions of dollars-worth of consumer awareness for travel advisors every year.

ASTA is Your Voice in the Halls of Power.

ASTA defends your business against harmful legislation and regulations at every level of government, and supporting policies that help you thrive.

• Convinced the Biden administration to rescind the inbound COVID testing requirement with more than 100 congressional meetings and thousands of emails and letters to the editor.
• Successfully lobbied for the 2022 Travel & Tourism Omnibus Act, creating an Assistant Secretary of Travel & Tourism at the Dept. of Commerce, elevating the U.S. travel industry.
• Worked with local members in Kentucky to secure an 11th-hour exemption for travel agencies in a bill expanding sales tax to various industries, saving advisors nearly $2 million/year.

I can’t imagine what the landscape of the modern travel industry would look like without ASTA’s voice. ASTA educates and informs the traveling public, government legislators, and our own industry on the worth of working with a professional travel advisor.
