IMPORTANT - Whether you are a small business owner or an employee, we need your help there in a big way with little effort. We are still fighting to add Travel Agencies to the SAVE act to provide relief to businesses impacted by COVID.

We have all been cancelling trips every month and sadly seeing revenues disappear far longer than ever expecting. Help is available if we stand up now and be acknowledged. So much help has been provided to other industries without even asking. Please follow the instructions below to help us all.

Please sign and send on to anyone you know as well sending a message to your Congressperson through the links below.

It is truly incomprehensible that Travel Agencies were not included in this legislation. We make the reservations for many of the industries already included in the Shuttered Venue Government Relief Program (SAVE). Adding Agencies to this program would be logical and complement the Congressional intent of this relief program.

Act now! Congress considering relief bill starting this week
With Congress expected to write and pass another round of COVID-19 relief legislation by mid-March, ASTA staff and outside lobbyist are working around the clock to push for our COVID relief priorities. These include creation of a grant program for travel agencies, making agencies eligible for the 3.5 times monthly payroll bonus payments under the 2nd round of the Paycheck Protection Program and actions to mitigate the consequences of the Canadian government’s decision to close its ports to cruise ships through February 2022.

But your Members of Congress need to hear from YOU as well in the short window we have to affect the legislative process. Please take two minutes out of your day to call or email Congress through our grassroots portal below. Thank you! Visit www.ASTA.ORG for easy access to your specific Congressional representatives and the prewritten letter!
