FAITH TRAVEL ASSOCIATION: SERVING A GROWING MARKET SINCE 2013
Since its creation in 2013, FTA has grown steadily in membership and in
commitment to faith travel professionals—and the faith leaders who seek their
services. And FTA has evolved. As a result of requests from the National Tour
Association and FTA members seeking greater collaboration, FTA aligned with
its sister association in 2016 and began offering dual memberships. This union has been embraced by
both associations’ members, and the growing number of dual memberships is proof!
In the past, organizations often had to choose which association to join, but with the new pricing
structure and suite of benefits, it’s easy to have both. Now NTA members can add the FTA membership
for a small fee, typically $199 or less per year.
Gaining NTA member benefits isn’t the only positive change. Starting in 2017, FTA members will
integrate with NTA members on the Travel Exchange show floor, eliminating previous, separate pavilions
at the annual convention. Special FTA-only functions will serve the membership with dedicated events,
such as the FTA breakfast, while allowing FTA members to interact at all NTA sessions, too. It’s truly the
best of both worlds!
Founded in 1951, NTA is the premier organization of packaged travel
professionals who serve customers traveling to, from and within North
America. Learn more at NTAonline.com.

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!
