Focusing on professionalism and advocacy
When HATA was established in 1957, our founders set out a number of aims and objectives. These include providing forum for members to deal with issues that are important to them, enhancing professionalism of members, assisting members to develop new business opportunities. Over the last 69 years, HATA has kept our primary objectives in mind and has put our increasing efforts to bring about change for the better. HATA has grown from a small lobbying body to a collective body with over 300 members, consisting of agents from inbound tour, outbound tour, ticketing, cruise and other specialties in the industry. We, serve as a platform, to consolidate the strength of the trade.
