Looking forward to 2008
Part I of this ASTA SmartBrief special year-end report looked back at the most important trends and stories of 2007. Part II, below, highlights our predictions and yours for what's expected in 2008.
In 2008, travel agents should expect to see a continued emphasis on going green, from eco-tourism and lodging and transportation changes to general business practices. ASTA members also can rest assured that the association will continue to fight against commission cuts, fee and tax increases and work toward international travel initiatives as well as affordable and attainable health care options for small businesses.
Looking forward to 2008, ASTA already has plans for the International Destination Expo in Lyon, France, and is working with partners to put on the next THETRADESHOW in Orlando, Fla. Visit ASTA's Web site for details on these events and more.
