Travel Agents Associations That Can Help Your Career & Save You Money
Here is a list of the most popular travel agents associations:
CheckACode - Validate travel industry and cargo agent ID Cards as well as IATA numeric codes quickly on-line with this site maintained by IATA and IATAN.
Interline Travel & Tour, Inc. - Provide airline employees, as well as their parents, other family members and friends, a wide variety of cruise and resort/hotel vacations.
International Airlines Travel Agent Network Also known as IATAN. This is one of the associations I have belonged to in the past, and they have afforded me many discounts on personal travel. It is a non-profit entity that appoints travel agencies and travel agents (for between $30-45 a year) on behalf of its customer airlines. Highly recommended.
Marriot Excellence! - This allows you to request special discounts for your clients (not to mention yourself). Marriot provides excellent support for this program, and is free to join (though there is a test you have to take online first).
Association of Retail Travel Agents - ARTA This association is just for travel agents, no suppliers. Their website is great for keeping up on trends within the travel industry, particularly for smaller travel agencies.
National Association of Commissioned Travel Agents - NACTA - If you are a home based agent, or focus on outside sales, this is the one for you.
World Association of Travel Agencies - WATA Want to skip regional and national associations? Go ahead and sign up here!
