NTA Publications
Courier magazine, the association's official monthly publication, is the only source for in-depth information on destinations, business trends, product development tips and case studies.
Members rely on NTA's weekly e-newsletter Tuesday to keep abreast of pertinent association news and updates, while daily news postings to the NTA Online home page under "Headlines" provide timely and relevant industry news.
NTA offers the Trip Planner series, a group of publications that is designed to introduce specific types of travel buyers, such as student travel planners and group leaders, to NTA members and help educate them about the diverse products offered by the association's tour operator, tour supplier and DMO members.
The most recent issue of the NTA Trip Planner for student travel was mailed to 20,000 student travel planners and NTA tour operators in February 2010. The second publication in the NTA Trip Planner series, which is targeted at 20,000 group leaders and NTA tour operators was finalized in September 2009 and a digital version of it is available online. The online versions include the same content as the printed versions, but also offer links to tour operator itineraries, advertisers' Web sites and more.
NTA also produces a comprehensive, annual All-Member Directory to aid members in their day-to-day business operations. As part of NTA's China Inbound Program, the association also publishes the NTA U.S. Travel Directory as a way for members to promote their companies directly to the Chinese travel agents approved to do business with NTA tour operators.
