Association of Retail Travel Agents (ARTA)

The Association of Retail Travel Agents (ARTA) represents the interests of independent travel agents and small to mid-sized travel agencies.

ARTA specifically advocates for retail-level travel advisors, helping them compete, remain profitable, and stay competitive even in an industry dominated by OTAs and large consolidators.

This type of travel agent association provides members with training, workshops, industry reports, and updates on evolving travel regulations and technology trends.

ARTA also offers a platform for independent agents to connect, share best practices, and partner with suppliers or other agencies.
