IATAN Accreditation is a globally recognized program that acknowledges travel businesses as legitimate and committed to providing high-quality services. This accreditation demonstrates that a travel business has been thoroughly vetted and adheres to standards and requirements set by IATAN (International Airlines Travel Agent Network).

A Verified Travel Advisor (VTA) is a trained and experienced travel advisor, vetted and verified by the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) - the global trade organization for travel planning professionals. All VTAs are members of ASTA and have taken extra steps to enhance their professional development and knowledge in areas such as ethics, regulatory compliance, and customer relations. Not only that, but VTAs must take continuing education every two years to maintain their status. You may be surprised to learn that there’s no formal license to become a travel advisor. That’s why it’s so important to work with a Verified Travel Advisor. It’s the ‘Good Housekeeping’ seal of approval that signals you’re working with a top-notch professional.
