Membership of the ATHE is awarded in recognition of academic achievement and working experience. Individuals wishing to qualify for membership may apply to become Registered Students and study the ATHE academic syllabus, which covers a wide range of travel, tourism and Hospitality topics. 

Those individuals who have achieved a qualification with another recognised awarding body or professional body, may apply for membership by exemption.

Those individuals who do not possess any formal qualification but who are able to demonstrate experience and understanding of the profession may also apply for membership.  

Membership is awarded at the grade of Member.   Individuals who are able to demonstrate academic achievement and experience gained over many years working at a senior level in travel and tourism may apply for election to the grade of Fellow.

Corporate Membership

Companies, organisations including schools and colleges may apply for Corporate Membership of ATHE.  Corporate Member status does not bestow membership on an individual, nor does it make anyone eligible for designatory letters.  A Corporate Member may take part in the business activities of ATHE. It may nominate members of its staff to seek election to the Advisory Board or any of the Working Groups that may, from time to time, be established.  It may also nominate members of staff to attend any open function organised by ATHE and to take advantage of any discount enjoyed by individual members.

A Corporate Member is encouraged to use the ATHE logo on all stationery, promotional material and on all traditional and electronic media, including web sites.

An ATC may nominate members of its staff to seek election to the Advisory Board or any of the Working Groups that may, from time to time, be established.  It may also nominate members of staff to attend any open function organised by ATHE and to take advantage of any discount enjoyed by individual members.

An ATC is permitted to advertise the accreditation and to promote membership relating to any course or courses that achieve the ATE standard.  It is encouraged to use the ATHE logo on all stationery, promotional material and on all traditional and electronic media, including web sites.
