2 August 2021: AFTA today welcomed the strong endorsement from members with over 80% of members having already renewed and more still submitting.

Given the devastating reality of the impact of COVID on so many businesses, this is quite a remarkable outcome. Through the ongoing support of our members AFTA can continue to lobby daily on behalf of travel agents throughout Australia to secure support from the Government.

AFTA is confident these agents will re-emerge early 2022 with the vaccination hurdles reached and travel reopening.
