The ASTA Global Convention kicks off on August 23, 2021, and this three-day event will be jam-packed with tools for travel advisors to utilize. After last year's convention transitioned to a virtual event, many agents are eager to get together and reap all the benefits that come along with attending an in-person conference.
As usual, travel advisors will hear from keynote speakers throughout the convention, and this year they include Zane Kerby, President and CEO of ASTA; Mark Hoplamazian, President and CEO of Hyatt Hotels Corporation; Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines; and Mark Vondrasek, CCO of Hyatt Hotels Corporation.
