The Australian Federation of Travel Agents Ltd. is a private company headquartered in Sydney, Australia, that operates as an association for travel businesses. The company says this about itself: The Australian Federation of Travel Agents (AFTA) is the peak body in Australia representing the retail travel industry. Founded in 1957, AFTA represents the majority of travel agents in Australia and includes all of the major travel agency groups. AFTA's role is to uphold the interests of members in matters relating to the operation of all travel agencies in Australia. In broad terms these issues are ones that are not addressed by agent chain or corporate entities on behalf of their members, and are ones that involve the industry as a whole.

Travelife Ltd. is a leading association of travel agents and tour operators that provides expert travel advice, guidance, protection, and help in resolving travel complaints. The non-profit company is based in London, UK, and has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The British company works with its members and tourism suppliers worldwide to keep them up-to-date with the latest requirements and provides training and advice on making travel accessible. ABTA offers high-quality, practical training for the travel industry through a diverse program of conferences and events. Mark Tanzer has been the CEO of the company since 2005.
