At our ATA Congress
in Accra, Ghana, I was on a panel with ARTA's John Hawkes,
and the bonds between myself and ARTA were cemented further.
Here is a brief backgrounder: Founded in 1963, the
Association of Retail Travel Agents (ARTA) is the largest
nonprofit association in North America that represents
travel agents exclusively. Its membership is 100 percent
professional travel agents. The Association does not accept
travel suppliers or other travel companies as
members. A free 30-day trial
membership is available via the web site: http://www.artaonline.com,,.................. http://www.artaonline.com/about.cfm History of ARTA Our Member Benefits Membership Application Conferences Our Member Benefits Membership Application Conferences ARTA

Association of Retail Travel Agents. Over 40 Years of
Service, and 3,600 Strong
by
Jerry W. BirdThe
late Fred Fuller of Toledo, Ohio personified the ARTA
organization, being its biggest booster and a solid
supporter of its alliance with the Africa Travel
Association. Getting to know Fred as a friend at ATA
Congresses in Africa, and at the American Travel Market in
Orlando, Florida, I developed a fondness for ARTA and its
sound objectives. Just prior to his passing, we agreed to
make ARTA a prime distributor of Africa Travel Magazine for
complimentary mailing to its 3,600 members.
