A Word From Our Chairman

On behalf of the tour operator members of USTOA, I’d like to thank our valued travel advisor partners and acknowledge the significant role they play in the success of not only the tourism industry but our members’ individual businesses. 

If we’ve learned anything over the past several years, it is that the expertise of a trusted travel advisor is critical to consumer confidence and the decision-making impacting where, when, and how they travel.  By working together, travel advisors and tour operators provide travelers with security, insider knowledge, and the ease to experience unforgettable vacations and adventures. 

We are committed to strengthening our partnership with the travel advisor community with education being the foundation of our mutual success. USTOA encourages travel advisors to visit the Travel Agent Resources page on USTOA’s website for inspiration and information. These pages provide resources to help navigate changes facing the travel industry, webinar opportunities from members, as well as other useful tools and information. And, of course, the USTOA $1 Million Travelers Assistance Program is an important component of providing travel advisors peace-of-mind knowing their clients’ vacation dollars are protected. 

We look forward to building a brighter future for travel with our respected travel advisor partners.

— Dana Santucci, USTOA Chairman
