2020 ANNUAL REPORT ®
2020
was an unprecedented year for
the travel industry, with economic damage orders of magnitude larger than the last big shock to the industry after the 9/11 attacks. As a result of the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) and the governmental response to it, average
travel agency business income was down 82 percent in 2020 as compared to 2019 according to ASTA member surveys.
Even factoring in the relief programs created by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136) and successor legislation, the average travel agency has laid off
...the average travel agency has laid off close to 60 percent of its staff
close to 60 percent of its staff. And due to industry economics (i.e. commission payment schedules), there will be a substantial time lag between a return of travel bookings and a corresponding return of business income – an anticipated average of eight months’ delay. Pandemic or no pandemic, ASTA fights to protect the interests of its members and the broader travel agency community at all levels of government – federal, state and even local governments. Between 2012 and today, ASTA’s efforts led to legislative and regulatory “wins” that saved the industry an estimated $630 million in new taxes, fees and other costs.
These wins include:

How Does ASTAPAC Decide Which Candidates to Support?
Deciding which candidates to support in a given year is a process involving the cochairs and members of the Government & Political Affairs Committee and ASTA’s Advocacy staff, which analyzes and interprets Congressional voting records and is able to pinpoint who is who in the area of travel and tourism policy and who best understands and supports the travel agency industry.

majority or minority leadership)? ASTAPAC makes financial contributions to candidates for Federal office, regardless of party affiliation. We do not support candidates in presidential, state or local elections. It is worth noting that a campaign contribution through ASTAPAC is not a means of buying votes. It is a “no strings attached” way of ensuring that responsible and dedicated legislators who understand and support the travel agency industry remain in or are elected to office. To ensure the money is well protected and properly spent, many detailed reports are required by the Federal Election Commission from both ASTAPAC and the candidates it supports. Both must account for the sources of their funds and the purposes for which these funds are spent.
