Membership

The inception of APTO stems out of a vacancy in the market and industry. With the profusion of travel operators and destination marketing companies (DMC) coming into existence worldwide, and increased proliferation of misinformation in the marketplace, both consumers and agents providing outbound services, are becoming increasingly weary and unsure of which travel operators they can trust with their travel investments. Which Travel Operators can they rely on to receive transacted services, whilst obtaining the best value for their money? 
 
With increasing complexity in the marketplace, agents and consumers are increasingly gravitating toward operators they can rely on and trust. The  APTO objective is to promote a worldwide standard of excellence that the market can depend on based on expertise and experience.   ​​
