For Travelers
Tour operators occupy a vital role in the travel industry and allow you to let someone else take care of organizing accommodations, meals, sightseeing, and transportation, while you get on with the pleasure of traveling. Travel packages create a customized travel experience based on your budget or preferences, and NTA helps connect you with the best tour operators in the industry.
Why look for the NTA logo?
Value
When you travel, you want to enjoy the camaraderie, the meals, and accommodations that meet your needs and expectations. You want to go home with fond memories and the satisfaction of knowing that all of this was achieved at a reasonable cost. That’s value.
NTA tour operators succeed because repeat customers have come to trust their commitment to value. NTA members provide value through buying power, ease of planning, and high-quality, professional services.
Security
Security and safety are not your top priorities — they’re our members’ top priorities too.
We know this because not just anyone can achieve NTA membership. Members’ businesses must have a senior management employee with at least three years of experience in the packaged travel industry and must maintain a current certificate of insurance with NTA that demonstrates at least $1 million USD in general liability insurance.
Convenience
Today’s active lifestyles demand that convenience is no longer a bonus service; for many people, it’s a necessity.
Whether you’re embarking on a one-day jaunt or a cross-country odyssey, traveling with an NTA tour operator makes the journey easier. NTA members’ commitment to value and quality takes care of every detail. They arrange accommodations, plan meals, chart routes, provide transportation, take care of tipping and baggage handling, offer knowledgeable guides and select interesting stops.
All travelers need to do is turn up on time — what could be more convenient?
Choice
The world’s your oyster: When it comes to travel, there are thousands of exciting destinations and attractions awaiting discovery. The selection is mind-boggling and only limited by the knowledge of what exists.
NTA members can open travelers’ minds to what is possible. In order to provide experiences that last a lifetime to their customers, NTA operators constantly search for different destinations, unique experiences and new ways to fulfill travel dreams.
