NACTA members benefit by our focus
on education and professionalism and the many benefits and
services
that are provided in a very personal way to our members.
Some of the many benefits include

NACTA works with a number of travel industry trade shows and conferences
and thereby
offer our membership substantial savings at these events. NACTA's
"Home Based Travel Agent Workshops" are recognized in the industry as
the very best there is on the subject. NACTA's "Host Agency Seminars"
and "Advanced Cruise Sales Seminars" are two of the most popular
topics on the travel industry trade show circuit. You don't want
to miss a chance to attend these programs.
Communication among NACTA members
is very important. NACTA operates the NACTA Agent Digest (NAD)
formerly known as Cruise Agent Digest (CAD). This comprehensive digest and
information source is a way to get your questions answered by experts each and
every day of the year. This digest is recognized as the most effective
communications network in the travel industry. This is just another
one of the many benefits included in NACTA membership.
NACTA enables qualified members to obtain the TravelSellers.com IATAN
Identification Code. This globally recognized numeric code TravelSellers.com Number is issued and maintained by IATA and only
available to NACTA Members who qualify and meet specific criteria. The
TravelSellers.com number is a choice and an alternative for many Tour
and Cruise Sellers of Travel who are operating an independent agency.

NACTA, Inc. has formed an
alliance with ASTA, The American Society of Travel Agents and is an
affiliate of ASTA. ASTA recognizes the growth and need
for increased representation of the professional independent travel
agents in today's travel marketplace. With this alliance NACTA and
ASTA, work hand in hand to promote professionalism and recognition of
NACTA membership to the industry at large. As a benefit of this
alliance, NACTA members now have access to a multitude of ASTA
educational opportunities at preferred NACTA member rates.
NACTA also has several books available for independent and home-based
travel agents. "How to Start a Home Based Travel Agency" is one of the
travel industry's best sellers and should be read by anyone wanting to
enter the travel industry from a home-base.
If you are looking for a
host agency to work with as a home based travel agent then you should
visit NACTA's "Host Agency Web." NACTA has established minimum
standards for host agencies that raises the barrier for host agencies
to a minimum level guaranteeing you the best possible choices for your
host agency.
NACTA members also enjoy their own web site. With
hundreds of pages, the NACTA Member's Web offers tons of information
of use to independent travel agents and several chat groups where
members can discuss a myriad of topics, several "marketplaces" where
members can make their group space available to other members and a
"classified advertising" section where members can buy and sell all
kinds of things.
