Founded in 1984 under the name “Travel Agents Association (TAA)”, the Association is a gathering of outbound tour operators and airlines ticketing and reservations agents. The key objective is to promote and raise the standards of the members’ businesses.

Then in 1990, TAA was renamed as the Thai Travel Agents Association (TTAA) that has been used until the present. This reflects TTAA as being a tourism association of Thailand as well as has a meaning that covers the tour business.

Since its foundation, the TTAA has had a role in the promotion and creation of stability for BSP Agents and outbound tour operators, which has been the major objective for establishing the Association.  Furthermore, TTAA has cooperated with other tourism associations in promoting the growth and strength of Thailand’s tourism industry until today.
