Value
How do you define value? When you go on a tour, you want to enjoy the camaraderie of fellow travelers. You hope that the meals and accommodations meet your needs and expectations. You want to go home with fond memories. And you want the satisfaction of knowing that you received all of this at a reasonable cost. That's value.
Many people travel with NTA tour operators because they have come to trust their commitment to value. If you're among this growing number, you know that NTA operators provide buying power, ease of planning, and high-quality, professional services.
Working with an NTA tour operator can mean a savings for you. Based on their business volume and professional relationships with destinations, hotels, museums, restaurants and attractions around the world, NTA operators can negotiate extremely favorable rates and pass these savings on to you.
Security
People find security in many things. Grandchildren find security in their grandparents' arms. Employees find security in their employers' respect. And you can find many levels of security when you travel with an NTA tour operator.
Tour operators who belong to NTA are some of the most experienced in the industry. Before they are able to apply for membership, they must have a senior management employee with at least three years of experience in the packaged travel industry and they must maintain a current certificate of insurance with NTA that demonstrates at least $1 million USD in general liability insurance. Then, tour operators who wish to join NTA are subject to a peer review process where the entire membership is notified of their intent to join. The Board of Directors must officially vote on their acceptance.
Convenience
Today's active lifestyles have elevated convenience to a new level of appreciation. In fact, convenience is no longer a bonus service; for many people, it's a necessity.
When you evaluate every service that a tour operator provides, at the essence you find convenience. Whether you're embarking on a one-day jaunt or a cross-country journey, traveling with an NTA tour operator can make things easier for you.
With dedicated commitment to value and quality, they can take care of every detail when planning your itinerary. They arrange accommodations, plan meals, chart routes, provide transportation, take care of tipping and baggage handling, offer knowledgeable guides, and select interesting stops.
Choice
Choice is one of your great freedoms. You have the option to choose the food you eat, the books you read, the car you drive, the house you live in, the music you listen to, and the clothes you wear. And when it comes to traveling, just think of the millions of exciting destinations and attractions awaiting your discovery! The selection is mind-boggling and only limited by your knowledge of what exists.
If you would like to have more choices in travel, an NTA tour operator will open these doors. To provide lifetime experiences to their customers, NTA operators constantly search for different destinations; unique, out-of-the-way stops; interesting activities; and new restaurants and attractions. These options could be available to you!
