About

What is the Corporate Advisory Council (CAC)

The Corporate Advisory Council (CAC) is an influential stakeholder group within the American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) – the heads of the largest travel agency/TMC, consortia, franchise organization, host agency and allied supplier members of the Society.

The CAC was formed in the early 2000s to give a distinct voice to these large entities and to provide a support system for ASTA’s federal, state and industry advocacy efforts, the foundation of the Society’s mission.

The CAC focuses on issues of common interest to the travel agency community, formulating a strategy to speak with one voice before federal regulators, Members of Congress, state legislators as well as other travel industry groups.
