The American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) issued a statement reiterating its standing opposition to abuse of multilevel marketing and card mills and distanced itself from remarks by former ASTA president Phil Davidoff that appeared exclusively in Travel Agent. {Davidoff, who provides education and training for YTB, gave the controversial company?s business model a measured endorsement.}
?Following on the heels of legal actions taken by various states, including California, against a multilevel travel marketing firm (MLMs), ASTA is reiterating its stance regarding MLMs and card mills,? an ASTA spokesperson said. ASTA did not mention Davidoff or YTB by name.
