ASTA releases new member tools
The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) has announced the release of two new member tools, ASTA’s U.S. Travel Agency Regulatory Compliance Handbook and the Travel Agent’s Guide to Copyrights.
"All travel agents, including leisure-focused travel agents, need access to this critical information," said ASTA chair Nina Meyer. "The release of ASTA’s U.S. Travel Agency Regulatory Compliance Handbook comes on the heels of a recent civil penalty assessment of $40,000 on a small cruise-focused agency for failing to comply with DOT’s advertising rules. It should be clear to everyone that these rules apply to travel sellers of all sizes and shapes."
ASTA’s U.S. Travel Agency Regulatory Compliance Handbook explains the major federal statutes and regulations that directly impact travel agents. It outlines a travel agency’s obligation with each rule, and also provides supplemental guidance that ASTA obtained directly from DOT in response to concerns expressed by members. ASTA’s Travel Agent’s Guide to Copyrights explains the laws associated with how to safely obtain materials, such as photos and images, for professional use.
Both documents can be found at ASTA.org.
