International accreditation and recognition are the secrets to having a successful travel agency.
IATAN Accreditation is the gold standard for travel agency validation. Once your business becomes accredited, you are issued an IATA Code. This 8-digit IATA Code is used as the industry-wide standard identification by suppliers such as hotel & resort chains, cruise lines, car rental companies, theme parks, rail companies to simplify reservations, sales activities and commission distribution.
The IATAN Accreditation offers agencies a wide range of benefits:
- Certify your professional status on an international scale.
- Ensure your agency’s inclusion on IATA CheckACode and the IATA Agency List.
- Make it easy for industry suppliers to identify and validate your agency.
- Book hotels, cars, flights, and other travel services for clients without hassle.
- Increase opportunities to receive incentives and commissions.
- Get an ID Card for all eligible agency staff.
