Why ASTA matters in the U.S. travel industry

ASTA plays a central role in representing and supporting travel advisors and agencies in the United States. Through advocacy, education, industry standards, and community engagement, ASTA helps strengthen the long-term viability of the travel advisor profession.

For travel businesses, particularly independent advisors and small agencies, ASTA provides a framework that encourages professional conduct, informed decision-making, and ongoing development. These principles are closely aligned with how Antravia approaches its work with clients.

How we support ASTA Members

Antravia provides accounting and financial support designed specifically for how travel businesses actually operate. Our work focuses on clarity, control, and practical decision-making rather than generic bookkeeping or compliance-only services.

We commonly support ASTA members with:

Accurate bookkeeping and accounting structures that reflect commissions, service fees, supplier payments, and client money flows.

Financial visibility and reporting that helps advisors understand profitability, cash flow, and seasonality, not just year-end results.

Clean, well-organized financial records that make tax preparation and CPA coordination smoother and less stressful.

Support for advisors transitioning from part-time or hobby operations into more structured, professional businesses.

Guidance for agencies adding fees, retainers, or consulting income alongside traditional commissions.

Our role is to provide reliable financial infrastructure so travel advisors can focus on serving clients and growing their businesses with confidence.
