Our Travel Industry Accreditations
Travel Industry Accreditations – Why They Matter When Booking Your Holiday
When you entrust a travel agency with your holiday, you are potentially handing over thousands—or tens of thousands—of dollars and asking someone to coordinate flights, accommodation, cruises, tours and experiences across the world.
So how do you know who you are dealing with?
At Valhalla Travel, our professional travel industry accreditations are an important part of the answer. We maintain recognised industry credentials with ATIA, IATA and CLIA, connecting our business with respected organisations representing the Australian travel industry, international aviation and the global cruise sector.
These aren't simply logos for the bottom of our website. They represent professional standards, industry relationships, training and accountability that ultimately help us provide a better service to our clients.
ATIA Accredited – Australian Travel Industry Standards
The Australian Travel Industry Association (ATIA) operates Australia's industry-led accreditation scheme for travel businesses.
ATIA Accreditation recognises businesses that meet defined criteria covering areas including ethical conduct, compliance and sound business practices. For travellers, this provides reassurance that the travel business they are dealing with has been independently assessed against industry criteria.
It is an additional layer of confidence when choosing an Australian travel agency, particularly when planning complex or high-value international travel.
IATA – Connected to the Global Airline Industry
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) sits at the heart of the international airline industry.
IATA accreditation provides recognised travel agencies with a formal relationship with participating airlines and standardised systems for airline ticketing and settlement.
For our clients, that industry infrastructure matters.
When Valhalla Travel is constructing a complicated multi-city flight itinerary, Round the World journey, premium cabin booking or international airfare, our consultants are operating within established global airline systems and standards.
It means our ability to arrange flights extends considerably further than simply searching for an airfare online.
CLIA – Specialist Cruise Knowledge
Cruising is another area where specialist knowledge can make an enormous difference.
Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) provides globally recognised cruise training and certification for travel professionals. CLIA-certified consultants undertake structured cruise education and ongoing professional development covering cruise products, destinations and the process of matching travellers with suitable cruise experiences.
That knowledge becomes particularly valuable when comparing ocean cruises, river cruises, expedition cruising, luxury cruises and world cruises.
The cheapest cruise—or even the most expensive one—isn't necessarily the right cruise.
Understanding differences between cruise lines, ships, cabin categories, destinations and styles of cruising helps us recommend something suited to you.
What Does All This Mean for You?
Ultimately, our accreditations are about confidence.
They demonstrate that Valhalla Travel actively participates in the professional travel industry, maintains recognised standards and invests in the knowledge and industry relationships required to look after our clients properly.
Combine that with our decades of travel industry experience and our commitment to personalised service, and you have something that an anonymous online booking engine simply cannot replicate:
A real travel professional in your corner—before you leave, while you're travelling and after you return home.
Travel With Confidence
Your holiday deserves more than a booking confirmation. Work with an accredited travel agency that is there to support your journey from the first conversation until you're safely home again.
