The American Society for Travel Advisors (ASTA) on Thursday shared an update on the current relief and additional measures it will be lobbying for its members, and how its members can access programs installed by the latest round of U.S. COVID-19 relief, called The COVID-19 Emergency Relief Act of 2020.
The Act, which passed late last month, provided more than $900 billion worth of relief for U.S. industries. And while it’s good news, and a bridge into 2021 for a lot of small businesses, ASTA President and CEO Zane Kerby said at the time that a more comprehensive package targeted at the travel industry is still needed.

The United States inaugurates Joe Biden as its 46th President on 20
January. Given the chasm in policies and personality between him and the 45th president, does that mean big changes lie ahead for business
travel?
Biden’s capacity to transform his country will remain unclear until
the result is known of run-off votes for two Senate seats in Georgia on 5 January. If the Democrats win both, they effectively gain control of
the Senate as well as the House of Representatives, clearing many
significant obstacles to the new president’s legislative agenda and
cabinet and judicial nominees.

When Peggy Goldman, owner of InsightCuba, heard that Joe Biden had won the presidency, she felt she d died and went to heaven. I think that anybody in the travel space who s been looking for some direction to get out of this mess is celebrating, she said.
The mess Goldman was talking about is hinted at in her company s name. She and other Cuba specialists are hopeful that President-elect Biden will reopen travel to the island.
Now, those operators hope the president-elect stands by what they recall him saying when running for office.
