ASTA Worldwide Destination Guide

Print

The brief

ASTA was founded in 1931 and is today the world’s largest association of travel professionals. ASTA members represent 83% of all travel sold in the US through the travel agency distribution channel.

A core part of the Association’s strategy is enhancing the professionalism and profitability of members through effective education and training and helping them to maximise their reach to the travelling public.

ASTA required a quick reference tool that would provide members with industry information and membership details, as well as serving as a directory of international partners. Accordingly, the ASTA Worldwide Destination Guide was born.
