ABC Global Services and ASTA have partnered to aid in the association’s advocacy efforts.  

In February ABC will donate $0.10 for every ABC rate code booked by agencies and $0.20 per booking for new customers.

“I am certain that our partners will want their voices heard in supporting ASTA and that we will achieve the $10,000 threshold,” said Eric Altschul, CEO of ABC.

“Advocating for travel agents at all levels of government and industry is job No. 1 for ASTA” said Zane Kerby, ASTA president and CEO (pictured above). “We are heartened that ABC recognizes the importance of our work and greatly appreciate this pledge, which will allow us to redouble our efforts to defend and promote the retail distribution channel.”
