The organisation has revealed that 99.6% of all membership fees collected over the past year were reinvested directly into accreditation, advocacy and member services.
The figures were shared at ATIA’s 48th Annual General Meeting, where members also endorsed the Association’s 2025 Annual Report.
“Our members should feel confident that their fees are being used exactly where they should be through supporting their businesses through high-impact advocacy, trusted accreditation and services that make a difference,” said Christian Hunter, ATIA Chair.
The strong result included a year-end surplus of more than $275,000, achieved through prudent management and investment returns, allowing ATIA to plan for long-term resilience while delivering tangible benefits today.
Member support has remained exceptionally strong, with a 97.7% renewal rate and 30 new members joining during the year.
ATIA’s advocacy footprint has also continued to grow, with the organisation representing members in two parliamentary inquiries, submitting 15 formal policy papers and conducting more than 250 meetings with government officials and departments.
The organisation’s strategic direction remains guided by the A30 strategy, with key initiatives launched in the past year designed to strengthen the standing of accredited travel agents and tour operators in policy and public spheres.
“We’ve built strong financial foundations for ATIA and we’re using those to both deliver for today and prepare for tomorrow. That balance is critical in an industry that’s fast-moving and constantly evolving,” added Mr Hunter.
“I want to thank all our members for their continued support and acknowledge the dedicated leadership of our outgoing and continuing Board Directors. Together, we’re ensuring ATIA remains a powerful voice and valuable partner for the entire travel industry.”
