Welcome to San Francisco Travel Professionals!
SFTP (San Francisco Travel Professionals) is an association created exclusively for the travel professionals community, promoting travel and tourism. We aim to bring together tour operators, hoteliers, airlines, expedition cruise companies, tourist boards and other industry related companies whose common goal is to educate travel agents on the many facets of tourism.

Our mission is to provide a forum for travel professionals and travel suppliers to network and learn from each others expertise.

Formerly known as Women in Travel, we have had a long trajectory and served proudly since 1928.

Today more than ever face to face contact and social interaction is necessary to sift through all the information we find on the web. Our bimonthly dinner meetings provide the perfect environment to share experiences, learn about new products and meet destination specialists while enjoying a relaxed social evening.

We welcome any travel professional to join us!
Please see our membership page for more details.

  • Debbie Wilson, Travel Marketing Programs Chair at Los Medanos College

    SFTP Member Beth Ringhofer announces her new position as Sales Manager at Exotissimo Travel.
    Exotissimo Travel was formed in 1993. We are now the most established inbound tour operator in SE Asia and Indochina. Today we have 14 offices and over 500 full-time staff working from our destination-based offices in Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand. Exotissimo does not outsource any of our work to other companies. Exotissimo provides the most unique and personal travel experience for your clients because we live in these countries and we share a passion for the region. We have intricate knowledge of this still relatively unexplored part of the world. Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar are not places we have visited once or twice, or even a few times. We live here, we eat here, we work here! We love what we do. Our international and local staff work together to plan and deliver a tailored blend of travel experiences
