Purpose
As we celebrate our 20th Anniversary in 2022, we are charged with telling our STA story in a way that inspires pride in the minds and hearts of our fabulous customers and amazing STA team. That story, about our perseverance through the pandemic, our purpose, our values, and our future, doesn’t just set us apart from our competitors; it also offers a compelling reason for our current clients, vendors and team members to continue to grow with STA and for new group leaders to pursue traveling with us.
We all know the COVID-19 pandemic has been the most disruptive crisis in our lifetime. After strategically overseeing refund mechanisms that were fair for travelers, groups, and communities, we began to literally rethink educational group travel. We moved quickly to keep people safe with our proprietary, industry leading TripCARE travel system, as we turned our attention squarely to the future and how we can serve our groups as the desire to travel increases every day. And the fulfillment of that desire is our purpose each and every day as WE CREATE TRAVEL EXPERIENCES THAT CHANGE LIVES!
Now, as we celebrate 20 incredible years, we are thankful for our entire STA family of travelers, whether you have been here for 20 years – or 20 days. Together, we look to the future, to build and share this amazing story together. A story that is continuing to be shaped – by you!
Yes, this has been a fabulous 20th Anniversary.
But the story is not over – and the best is yet to come.
