The triennial review, mandated under the ATAS Charter, offers a crucial opportunity for members to help shape the policies and standards that define ATIA accreditation.
With the consultation period closing on July 1, member input is vital to ensuring the framework remains fair, practical and representative of today’s travel businesses.
The 2025 review is being led by Michael Terceiro, a respected legal consultant and former senior officer of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
Mr Terceiro is tasked with assessing whether the ATAS Charter, Code of Conduct, Solvency Definitions and ACAC Terms of Reference remain effective and fit-for-purpose.
“This is your association and your accreditation framework so don’t miss the chance to shape its future,” said Dean Long, ATIA CEO.
“We urge every member to have their say so we can continue to set the standard for a modern, trusted travel industry.”
Feedback from members will directly inform the final recommendations presented to the ATIA board in late July. The review outcomes will guide potential amendments announced later this year.
The ATAS Charter and Code are foundational to ATIA’s accreditation program, the largest and most representative in the Australian travel industry.
Member feedback ensures the program continues to deliver maximum benefit through industry-led standards, regulatory alignment and strong consumer confidence.
