2005 marks the 75th anniversary of ASTA’s World Travel Congress. ASTA’s Congress is the premier event where travel agents meet and gather information to stay on the leading edge of their profession. The conference program includes a multi-day trade show, networking and sightseeing, as well as an excellent selection of valuable seminars for agents and exhibitors.

ASTA will welcome travel agents from around the globe to Montréal to improve their knowledge of not only this lucrative destination, but also your products and services. Meet with every segment of the travel sellers market and see your sales improve. Congress attendees are typically leisure oriented and represent a mix of agency owners and managers, independent contractors, home based agents and frontline agents. In addition, first time attendees usually make up 25 percent of the total attendance.
