ASTA Global Convention

Hello TRAVELSAVERS Advisors and Happy Spring!

The first quarter of 2023 is in the rear-view mirror. You know the saying, time flies by when you’re having fun! I just recently completed Travel Marketplace 2023 in Vancouver, BC Canada and it was full of energy and excitement. Over 250 agents were in attendance. It was nice to visit with several TRAVELSAVERS members and engage with new advisors about our hotel program and offerings.

Next up is the ASTA Global Convention 2023 from May 2-4 in San Juan, Puerto Rico. If you or your agency is not an ASTA member, I highly encourage you to join. According to the ASTA website, asta.org, ASTA is the world's leading association of travel professionals, is the global advocate for travel agencies, the travel industry, and the traveling public. ASTA champion’s ethical and traveler-friendly practices and policies at every level of government and throughout the travel and hospitality industry. Its members are all bound by a shared code of ethics.

The convention website, where you can also register, is: https://www.astaglobalconvention.org/. It will be a jam packed three days of inspiration, education, and entertainment! This year, sessions will be focused on the most critical aspects of business recovery that are facing travel advisors. You will get to meet and socialize with senior leaders of the premier supplier brands and also visit and experience the host destination that will amaze and delight your clients. 

Quick Reminder: You can access our TRAVELSAVERS Preferred Hotel Program rates by using the TSA preferred rate code or TS8 deals rate code in your preferred GDS. The TSA rate ensures the least restricted, preferred rates in the GDS, as well as last room availability, guaranteed commission, added amenities and other great benefits. The TS8 deals rate offers restricted rates such as pre-paid rates, minimum room nights required, and unique TRAVELSAVERS promotions while still guaranteeing commission. Find more information on the TRAVELSAVERS Preferred Hotel Program, including booking formats, on the Agent Extranet (US, Canada or NEST), under Hotel Programs – TRAVELSAVERS Preferred Hotel Program.

Sincerely,
Jeff
