CTA’s staff gathers facts, analyzes issues, and disseminates that information to the public, the travel industry, regulators and policy makers.

    CTA seeks to help improve consumer understanding of our planet’s travel environment, including the fields of aviation, rail, cruising, telecommunications, banking, Internet and insurance as it relates to the freedom to travel and protection of consumers during their travel activities.
