Our Member Associations

NFTGA has three types of membership:

Member Association: A Member Association membership shall be available to any tourist guide association located in the United States and otherwise qualifies for membership under criteria established by the Board of Directors from time to time. Member Associations shall be allowed two (2) Designated Representatives, but entitled to one (1) vote for each matter brought before the membership.
Affiliate Member: An Affiliate Membership shall be available to any for-profit or non-profit tourism-related organization or business and otherwise qualifies for membership under criteria established by the Board of Directors from time to time. Affiliate Members shall have no voting privileges.
Friend Member: A Friend Member membership shall be available to any individual who supports the goals and standards of NFTGA. Friend Members shall have no voting privileges.

The names of the current NFTGA-USA member associations, their acronyms and provided contact information can be found below. The number of members in each association, the types of membership, annual dues fees, and the organizational structure vary quite a bit from member association to member association. The smallest organization has only about a dozen members and the largest counts nearly 500 members in diverse member categories.

Please note: If the member association itself does not have a telephone number or e-mail address specifically for its organization, the name and contact information for the president or another officer of that organization has been provided.
