Simply
stated, the United States Tour Operators Association (USTOA) is a
professional association representing the tour operator industry.
We are composed of companies whose tours and packages encompass the
entire globe and who conduct business in the U.S.
USTOA
was founded in 1972 by a small group of California tour operators
concerned about tour operator bankruptcies. These founding members
recognized the need for a unified voice to protect the traveling public,
as well as to represent the interests of tour operators. In 1975,
USTOA became a national organization with headquarters in New York.
USTOA
members number among the top names in travel and represent the entire
spectrum of vacation packages and tours available today. In fact,
our member companies are responsible for the majority of tours and
vacation packages sold by travel agents in the U.S.
According
to a recent survey, USTOA companies move more than 11 million passengers
annually and account for an annual sales volume of more than $9 billion.
This sales success story reflects the organization's pledge to encourage
and maintain the highest standards of professionalism, integrity and
service.
