WASHINGTON, DC – Leaders of two major travel associations, National Tour Association (NTA) and the Africa Travel Association (ATA), renewed their partnership in a signing ceremony here Friday. The ceremony came at the conclusion of ATAโ€™s US-Africa Seminar on Tourism.

Lisa Simon, NTA President, and Edward Bergman, ATA Executive Director, signed a memorandum of understanding that outlines a number of ways that the two associations will interact and work together.

โ€œConnecting NTA with ATA helps our members create new and diverse travel product that will, in turn, give ATA members more visitors from North America,โ€ said Simon. โ€œAfrica has an incredible variety of destinations and activities that will appeal to NTA tour operators who deal with specialty markets.โ€
