Signature Travel Network Empowers Independent Contractors with Exclusive ASTA Membership Subsidy for 2025

Wednesday, March 19, 2025

Signature Travel Network, a premier travel advisor consortium, is reaffirming its dedication to empowering independent contractors with a groundbreaking initiative—a subsidized membership program in partnership with the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA).

This exclusive program significantly lowers ASTA membership fees for Signature’s independent contractors, reducing the annual cost to just $99—an impressive $148 savings from the standard rate. By making ASTA membership more accessible, Signature is reinforcing its commitment to professional growth and industry advocacy for travel entrepreneurs.

“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.”

Through this strategic investment, independent contractors gain entry to ASTA’s vast array of resources, including specialized training, certification programs, and high-value consumer leads via VeriVacation.com. Moreover, it strengthens their affiliation with one of the most esteemed organizations in the travel industry.

An ASTA membership provides invaluable advantages, from enhanced industry credibility and networking opportunities to robust business tools and professional development programs, such as the Verified Travel Advisor certification. Since all Signature Travel Network agencies already hold ASTA memberships, this initiative extends those benefits directly to their independent contractor community.

Eligible independent contractors can take advantage of this exclusive offer when joining or renewing their ASTA membership for 2025, ensuring they remain at the forefront of industry expertise and opportunity.
