Leading travel advisor network Signature Travel Network is supporting its independent travel advisors through a new subsidy program with the American Society of Travel Advisors, essentially sponsoring members with a significantly reduced annual ASTA membership fee. 

Independent contractors affiliated with Signature can enjoy ASTA membership with a $99 annual membership fee as opposed to its entire $148 rate. 

ASTA membership is an excellent benefit for travel advisors, with educational resources, certification programs and even leads through VeriVacation.com, ASTA's new lead generation program. 

All Signature Travel Network agency members are already ASTA members, so this new program applies to independent contractors. It's also applicable for independent contractors who are renewing their ASTA memberships for the year. 

"At Signature, we've always believed in the power of community and the importance of supporting the professionals who make this industry what it is," said Alex Sharpe, President & CEO of Signature Travel Network. "By joining ASTA, our independent contractors aren't just investing in their own business, they're helping protect and shape the future of our entire industry. This subsidized membership rate is our way of removing barriers and encouraging every Signature member to stand with ASTA in supporting the travel advisor community we all value so deeply."
