Washington, D.C. - Over 250 travel advisors, including Shelby Frenette of TravelFun.Biz, gathered on Capitol Hill this week for the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) Annual Legislative Day. This pivotal event brought together travel industry professionals, executives, and advocates to engage directly with lawmakers and address critical policy issues impacting the travel industry. The annual event has become a significant forum for travel advisors to champion the policies that support their businesses and the clients they serve.
Legislative Day 2024 provided an invaluable opportunity for travel advisors to voice their concerns and perspectives on key industry issues, including air travel consumer protection, small business tax relief, and the streamlining of international travel policies. With more than 200 scheduled meetings with members of Congress and their staff, travel professionals from across the country took their message to Capitol Hill, sharing personal stories of how federal policies affect their day-to-day operations and the travel experiences of their clients.
“Legislative Day allows travel advisors to actively participate in the policymaking process,” said Zane Kerby, President & CEO of ASTA. “It is crucial for lawmakers to understand the unique challenges and opportunities our industry faces, especially in the current travel landscape.”
Shelby Frenette, owner of the rapidly growing boutique host travel agency TravelFun.Biz, were among those advocating for the future of travel. They joined their peers in discussing how federal policies can best support travel agencies, small businesses, and the growing number of clients returning to travel in a post-pandemic world.
With the travel industry continuing its recovery, this year's Legislative Day was more important than ever. The voices of travel advisors like Shelby and Joel Frenette are instrumental in shaping policies that ensure sustainable growth, enhanced consumer protections, and more seamless travel experiences for all.
