The Association of
Hungarian Travel Agencies (AHTA) has 230 members, of which 195 are full members
with both active and passive voting rights. The 32 extraordinary members cannot
be elected and cannot take part in the elections. The 230 AHTA members together
represent 1000 sales offices in Hungary which means that the members of the
AHTA together handle some 90% of Hungary's inbound and outbound tourism.
The AHTA is financed
solely from its membership dues.
The principal function
of AHTA is to represent the interests of its members and through this, to
constantly raise the level of the services of the travel offices.
Ever since its
foundation the AHTA has worked to build international relations and as a result
it now has official relations with the fraternal organisations of Bulgaria,
Germany, Finland, France, Italy, Yugoslavia, Austria, Poland, Sweden,
Switzerland, Spain and Turkey.
For some ten years the
AHTA has been a member of the UFTAA (Universal Federation of Travel Agents
Associations), and takes part in the work of ECTAA (Group of National Travel
Agents and Tour Operators Associations within the EU).
