Reliable, Stable and Agent-Friendly
One of the most frequent subjects of inquiry to ASTA concerns a tour operator’s reliability and financial stability. With these concerns in mind, ASTA’s Tour Operator Program identifies reliable, financially stable tour operators who are travel agent friendly. All members participate in a recognized consumer protection plan, and who have met additional standards of reliability. 

Participation in the Tour Operator Program is open to ASTA domestic and international tour operator members who meet the consumer protection, ownership, insurance, and travel agency booking criteria set by ASTA. One of the major benefits of participation in the Tour Operator Program is the positive exposure to retail travel agents your company will receive through the Tour Operator Program’s marketing efforts.

TOP Benefits for Tour Operator Participants:

	Heightened recognition of tour operators by travel agents and consumers
	Immense opportunities to generate new business and increase sales
	Promotion of Tour Operator Program members and their superior standards in an easily accessible resource
How does the Tour Operator Program’s marketing efforts help your company? These are the facts:
	Over 60% of ASTA’s Active Members have heard of ASTA’s Tour Operator Program
	50% of these members has used a tour operator specifically because they belonged to Tour Operator Program
	92% of ASTA Members feels more confident booking with a tour operator that belongs to the Tour Operator Program as opposed to one that doesn’t
