USTOA is a voluntary trade association with two categories of membership:
- Active Members (tour operators)
- Allied and Associate Members (travel suppliers)
USTOA is not a regulatory body within the travel industry; nor do we provide information about how to set up or market a tour operation. Click here for more information about USTOA.
Our Annual Conference & Marketplace, held in early December, is open to members only. A feature of our Conference is the Marketplace, an opportunity for tabletop meetings between Active Members and Suppliers. This is not a trade show or exhibit. Conference information is distributed to members only in August/September. USTOA must receive new Supplier members' membership application forms and annual dues by October 31, as well as Conference registration forms and fees by the registration deadline, if they plan to attend the Annual Conference.
