The National Tour Association has welcomed North Shore Travel of Miami as the first conventional travel agency to join under the new ‘travel planner’ membership category.
For the last two years travel agencies have been invited to attend the NTA’s annual Travel Exchange convention for a two-day educational program and now will have full access as members.
The NTA’s next Travel Exchange takes place on January 31 to February 4, 2016 at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta.
"We’re eager to get travel planners into the mix at Travel Exchange," said NTA president Pam Inman.
"Those new members—retail travel agents—can increase their revenue by tapping into trending tour product our operators have created, which, in turn, will give our suppliers and destinations a boost."
"We are really excited to be with NTA and be part of a valued and reliable industry leader. The association gives us access to different resources and the opportunity to connect with innovative partners," said North Shore Travel’s managing director Sebastian Ohrwaschel.
