And the stance on this is official: The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) was called the American Society of Travel Agents until it changed its name last year. "Travel agents have become trusted advisors, akin to financial advisors, who make the overall travel experience better and get travelers maximum value for their travel dollar," says the organization's spokeswoman, Erika Richter. "That's why we rebranded ourselves." [/QUOTE]
