If you are a truly responsible travel professional and have a SE Asian travel related web site, SEATA will support your business or organization and yet cost you nothing but the time it takes to become a member.

It is a fact that the traveling public are becoming increasingly educated and demanding, particularly when it comes to only using travel related businesses (including hotels, villas, travel agents, tour operators, guides, drivers and even airlines) and travel organizations (personal travel web site owners, travel forums, travel blog site owners, charity sites relating to regional travel, etc.) who are 100% legal and ethical. SEATA is the honest, decent South East Asian travel professional's chance to tell the world that is exactly what they are and to reap the benefits thereof.

Increasingly travelers are looking for SE Asia travel web sites which offer true responsible tourism, not just shallow words. Being a SEATA member and displaying the SEATA logo on your web site is therefore potentially very profitable, as it helps discerning travelers find you. What is more, basic SEATA members is absolutely, 100% free and always will be.

SEATA members are all equal, irrespective of their size or operation type. SEATA allows totally ethical people within the travel industry who practice true responsible tourism to come together for mutual benefit, as well as for benefiting the people of and visitors to the region. SEATA members can help each other by providing advice and / or by forming complimentary business alliances with each other.

SEATA's aim is to become an icon for good in the region and not necessarily simply regarding tourism. For example SEATA believes the fraud and corruption that afflicts many parts of the region is self-defeating for the travel industry as a whole and for everyday people. SEATA believes these things dramatically affect the region's tourism potential in terms of volume, quality and profitability; also SEATA recognizes such things cause human misery through civil and human rights abuse. Tourism is one of the largest industries and gross domestic product earners for countries within SE Asia. SEATA therefore hopes to be more than a travel association, it aims to be a tourism & travel lovers' union, setting the highest standards, leading by example and providing member security through solidarity against anything that is bad in the South East Asia travel industry. SEATA believes its presence and success will increase the level of true responsible tourism in SE Asia for the benefit of all.

SEATA contends hotels, villas, travel agents, tour operators, travel web site operators, etc. connected with SE Asian tourism who offer true responsible tourism have nothing to lose yet plenty to gain by becoming members of the South East Asia Travel Association.
