History of ASTA

Since its founding on April 20, 1931 as the American Steamship and Tourist Agents Association, ASTA has remained true to the mission outlined by its founding members. Even in the face of recent predictions of the demise of travel agents, ASTA's current initiatives fighting for travel agents and for the traveling public indicate a promising future for travel agents and for the Society.
