ASATA is a non-profit association that has represented the interests of the South African travel agents since 1956. Over 500 travel agents, wholesalers and tour operators are members of ASATA. These members are bound by ASATA’s constitution and code of conduct, which promotes integrity and security in dealing with an ASATA Member.
ASATA also has nearly 200 Associate Partners, which include companies such as airlines, hotels, car rental companies and other suppliers and industry partners.
ASATA's emphasis is on free trade without violating rules and regulations. Accordingly we have entrenched a Constitution and Code of Conduct that self-regulate our industry and provide the consumer with protection and peace of mind.
ASATA is administered by a full-time Secretariat with a Chief Executive and approximately thirteen staff members. The Association's day-to-day functions are monitored by a Members Council, and its continued role and direction are guided by a Board of Directors.
ASATA closely associates itself with SACOB, TBCSA, the Fair Practices Committee, the Consumer Council and the Department of Environmental Affairs and Tourism. We support and recognise the roles of SA Tourism, SATSA and Fedhasa and work in close association with these bodies.
