The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) is calling on travel advisor members from across the U.S. to register for its annual Legislative Day.

This year's advocacy event in Washington, D.C. will take place April 20-21, 2026, with ASTA members and partners once again descending on Capitol Hill to meet face-to-face with Members of Congress and their staff and educate them on key policies impacting the travel industry.

In addition to making their voices heard in scheduled meetings with lawmakers, participants can look forward to receiving advocacy training as well as guidance from experienced team captains and practical tools for effective follow-up.

With less than three months to go, ASTA is seeking advisor participation from a handful of states in need of representation, including:

  • Alaska
