Choose A Tour Operator with Professional Memberships
You have high expectations when traveling with a group. You expect an outstanding safety record, personal attention, expert trip consultants, quality transportation and accommodations, and great attractions.
That’s why it’s so important to choose a reliable tour operator with a stellar reputation and track record of success.
You also want to work with a company that is a member in good standing with professional organizations like the American Bus Association (ABA).
Why is Membership Important?
Organizations like ABA exist to provide guidelines and safeguards for best practices in the travel industry. They create a framework of standards for their partners, which ultimately benefits you as the traveler.
Membership with ABA is especially important. Consider that:
- Regulations and legislation for travel are constantly changing- ABA is up to date with the latest policies
- Members have access to services and resources that support their travelers
- Tour operators with an ABA membership connect directly with vendors offering the newest and best products in travel (attractions, shows, technology, travel protection, etc.)
In short, active membership with the American Bus Association and other professional organizations helps ensure a higher standard of service for all clients.
