What
The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) has rebranded its ASTA Marketing Services, Inc. program to the ASTA Member Advantage Program. 

Why it Matters
The more streamlined and comprehensive ASTA Member Advantage Program allows ASTA supplier members and other vendors to extend special discounts, bonus commissions and exclusive offers to travel advisors. It’s a win-win: Suppliers can demonstrate their support and appreciation of the advisor community, and advisors can take advantage of exclusive perks.

Fast Facts
- The revamped program is more inclusive; offers include preferred access and pricing with a variety of partners, including Lenovo, National Transaction Corporation, Avis Budget, Ecard and more.

What They Are Saying
“We’re really excited to shine a brighter spotlight on some of the great business benefits we offer our valued members,” said Kelly Bigel, vice president of business development for ASTA. “Membership has its privileges, and ASTA supplier partners really care about the bottom line of our travel advisors. The new Member Advantage Program is more streamlined and comprehensive for our members, which means more opportunity to earn more and save more.”
