Recognizing USTOA:
40 Years of Integrity
In Tourism
Dear Travel Professional,
Travel Weekly would like to extend its congratulations to USTOA in
achieving another milestone year in its history. At 40, USTOA remains a vital force in the travel and tourism industry, setting the
gold standard for reputable tour operators, offering a unified voice
that protects the traveling public.
Travel Weekly is honored once again to publish USTOA’s annual directory. The 2012 USTOA Directory is an invaluable tool for you,
the travel advisor, in creating and continuing relationships with
the most prestigious tour operators in the industry—those who are
most committed to partnering with you and ensuring your clients
receive the best possible vacation packages.
In a time when political upheaval and financial uncertainty potentially affect the travel plans of every customer, USTOA and its members offer a beacon of stability in tourism that allows agents and
travelers to plan with confidence. This is an organization that has
withstood the test of time—and one that has great plans for the
future.
My best wishes,
Bob Sullivan
