ASTA Advocacy

“One Voice for Travel agents”

ASTA works tirelessly on behalf of our members throughout the country, monitoring legislative proposals, protecting travel agents’ interests in the halls of Congress, and organizing grassroots support on agents’ behalf within state legislatures.

Success on the advocacy front only happens when members like you become involved and committed to our legislative efforts. Your voice does make a difference – and we need your support!
