Anyone actively engaged in the sale and promotion of travel, in an established travel business entity, applying for membership is eligible.  Men and women involved in both inside and outside sales are eligible.  However those strictly in clerical, secretarial, accounting or operational activities with no sales or promotional involvement are not eligible.  A travel firm may have more than one member of its staff in PWIT-LA.  It is not necessary for an employer to sponsor an applicant.

Membership may be either Corporate (paid and retained by the company if the member leaves that company.  That company may then formally apply for another eligible employee to replace that member ) or Individual (wherein the member pays to join and retains their membership in the event of job change). Dues (subject to change) are currently $35.00 for Travel Agents and $50.00 for Suppliers, which cover our fiscal year of July 1st to June 30th

Our Board of Directors normally meets on the second Monday of the month at a location to be advised on the CALENDAR page of this website. If location is not posted, contact the PRESIDENT for more details. All members are invited to attend. Meet the board and become involved!

In 1998, Travellarians Los Angeles became Professional Women in Travel, a name more easily identifiable with and a charter member of IFWTO, the International Federation of Women's Travel Organizations worldwide.  Due to the changes in our industry since September 11, 2001, we found it necessary to divest ourselves from IFWTO.  More recently, many of our members have affiliated themselves with a newly formed international travel organization called Women In Tourism International Alliances, Ltd. also known as  WITIA .

With more men expressing interest in the organization, we deemed it appropriate  in 2008 to change our name to reflect the broader membership.
