Boost your credibility

To maintain and grow your business as a travel agent, you need to be able to offer customers what they want, in a relationship of trust. This depends on good relationships with all industry partners, in particular, airlines. Being recognized by airlines gives easier access to facilities, including ticketing authority, flexibility in payment, even exclusive offers.

If your agency is located in the USA, please visit the IATAN Accreditation Program.
