The Association of Retail Travel Agents (ARTA) is North America’s largest nonprofit trade association dedicated exclusively to independent retail travel agents and small to mid-sized agencies. Founded in 1963, ARTA focuses solely on retail travel advisors, excluding suppliers such as hotels, airlines, and wholesalers from membership to better advocate for agents on the front lines of the travel industry. ARTA provides members with valuable resources, including training programs, workshops, industry reports, and updates on evolving regulations and technology trends. It also offers a platform for networking, sharing best practices, and forming partnerships with suppliers and other agencies.
