In a bid to help its independent contractors access essential professional resources, the consortium is subsidizing 2025 membership for ICs by providing a 60% discount.

With the discount, membership for Signature’s ICs drops to just $99 for a year.

“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.”

This investment by Signature makes it easier for ICs to access ASTA’s full slate of professional advantages– from educational resources and certification programs to consumer leads should they decide to participate in ASTA’s VeriVacation.com.

One hundred percent of Signature Travel Network agency members are already part of ASTA. This initiative aims to extend the benefits of ASTA to these agencies networks of independent contractors.
