Membership Benefits

Why SGTP?

SGTP is the primary association serving the $20 billion Government Travel Market. As the primary bridge between the travel industry and the Government, SGTP fosters knowledge through education, advocacy and networking. Our members benefit from the following:

Education and Certification: Enjoy access to numerous studies, white papers, surveys and the member directory—a “Who’s Who” in the Government travel industry. SGTP’s Certified Government Travel Professional (CGTP) course offers both certification and Continuing Education Unit (CEU) programs. Two annual conferences ‘AnCon’ and ‘EdCon’ draw hundreds of attendees under one roof for two full days of education and networking. 

Meet decision makers from all walks of Government travel—purchasers, Travel Management Companies, Airlines, Lodging, Car Rental and other key industry suppliers. Meet the right contacts to enhance your travel program and increase your business.

Committee Memberships: Share your knowledge by joining one of SGTP’s member committees, including Government and Industry Relations, Professional Development, Technology, Small Business and Education. Legislative Advocacy: Make a difference through industry representation. SGTP advocates on behalf of the Government travel industry—and we urge members to get involved and help present a unified, powerful voice for the industry, too.
