TOUR OPERATOR REGISTRATION RATES

SYTA is pleased to offer Tour Operator registration for both appointment takers and non-appointment takers. These Business Sessions are where Buyers (that’s you, the Tour Operator) meet with Sellers (Suppliers) to create business relationships.

We encourage you/your company to participate in these Business Sessions and also recommend all attendees attend all events including evening events and education sessions offered.

A Buyer is any business entity that conducts or arranges student or youth travel. This includes tour operators, group travel planners and travel agencies who want to meet with suppliers of student and youth products and services.

Appointment Portal
The online SYTA Appointment Portal will open on June 9, 2025 and be available for profile creation, research and appointment requests. All appointment-taking attendees will receive an email when the portal is ready.
