Mission Statement & History
The ITAA was founded in 1971 and, since then, has represented Ireland’s Travel Agents and Tour Operators. The Association brings together approximately 170 companies – many with several outlets in different towns and cities.
All ITAA members are licensed and bonded and are committed to following our Association’s code of conduct. Visit our consumer site to learn more about the benefits that ITAA membership confers if you are making your travel arrangements with one of our members.
Like many other representative organisations the ITAA is a company limited by guarantee. The Irish Travel Agents Association Ltd is governed by its annual general meeting (AGM), at which all members have equal rights.
The AGM elects a Board, comprising a President, a Treasurer and eight other members drawn from businesses in membership of the Association. (The Board can increase its membership to a maximum of 12 by co-option). Click here to see a full list of the current Board members.
The day to day work of the Association is undertaken by the Executive Team led by the Chief Executive.
The Association arranges various national and regional members' meetings as well as holding an important annual conference. We also facilitate a considerable amount of “on-line networking” amongst members using electronic newsletters, discussion forums and the members’ area of our website.
Irish Travel Agents Association Ltd is a company limited by guarantee and registered in Dublin. Our registered number is 34282 and our registered office is at 32 South William St, Dublin 2.
