Signature Travel Network has partnered with Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) to offer Signature's ASTA members up to $350 in bonus commission.
The initiative was designed to give travel advisors further incentive to join ASTA. Earlier this year, Signature announced it would subsidize ASTA membership for independent contractors. With Signature paying part of the cost, ICs only have to pay $99 for membership, a savings of $148.
"We believe that Signature advisors gain additional credibility by being ASTA members, so it is central to our mission of serving our members to make this even easier for them to attain," Signature president and CEO Alex Sharpe said. "We appreciate the support of our great partners at NCLH to create even more incentives for our advisors to engage with ASTA."
NCLH is the parent company of Norwegian Cruise Line, Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises. The bonus commission offer is exclusive for members of both Signature and ASTA when either joining ASTA or renewing their membership in 2025.
All of Signature's travel agency members are members of ASTA. The new initiative is targeted at their ICs, Signature said, to ensure "the next generation of advisors within its network can benefit from the same professional support."
