What Is an Independent Travel Advisor?
An Independent Travel Advisor (ITA) is a self-employed professional who books travel experiences for clients. Unlike employees of a travel agency, independent advisors work under their own business name or as affiliates of a host agency while providing personalized travel planning services.
