Envoyage U.S.A. announced a two-year sponsorship of The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) Young Professionals Society (YPS), becoming the organization’s first-ever corporate sponsor.
YPS serves travel advisors and industry professionals aged 45 and younger, offering education, networking opportunities and peer support to those building their businesses during the early stages of their careers.
The sponsorship aligns with Envoyage’s focus on supporting growth-stage advisors, particularly those with two to 10 years of experience who are looking to scale their businesses and expand their professional networks.
“ASTA’s Young Professionals Society represents exactly the kind of forward-looking investment our industry needs,” said Zane Kerby, ASTA President and CEO. “Travel advisors entering and growing in this profession deserve strong networks, meaningful education and a community that helps them build lasting businesses. We are grateful to Envoyage for becoming the inaugural sponsor of YPS and for recognizing that supporting the next generation of advisors strengthens the future of the entire travel agency community.”
