About ASA

ASA has grown organically for over 40 years from the passion & vision of one person to the reality of today’s extended ASA “family”. We remain a proudly independent company, always looking forward. Developing new markets and strengthening existing partnerships, but never forgetting the heritage & values core to our company ethos. With our expertise in the industry and our continued investment in people & IT, we offer a complete travel solution across the British Isles.

With an emphasis on static FIT rates, ASA contracts directly with our hotel partners. Drawing from a mix of international chains, regional hotel groups and independent properties, we offer a desirable and flexible range of accommodation options in the 3 to 5 star categories. City centre locations with essential properties for brochure programmes sit alongside rural out-of-town locations more suited to bespoke tailor-made itineraries. The portfolio is constantly growing and we currently contract over 800 properties across the country, supporting a wide range of international partners selling the UK & Ireland.

To complement this we contract an extensive network of trusted and reliable ground services covering point to point private & shared transfers, shared sightseeing tours including a range of ever popular “small group tour” options as well as private guiding and extended bespoke touring services. Completing the experience we are registered suppliers for top attractions, experiences & sporting events, the latest West-End musicals & Eurostar tickets.

"I have worked with ASA over 25 years. I really appreciate the fact that they pay attention to all the small details, they never say no and are always willing to help and to make sure that all the clients are happy. Personal, highly professional attention. I have a special large group that arrives in London every year (100 pax) to the same hotel, same dates. I must admit that if it was not Anak coming with his big smile to meet me and help with the group, it would not be the same!"

"glh. Hotels have been in partnership with Angela Shanley Associates for many, many years, and long may this continue. They are extremely professional, loyal, and most of all, they understand their markets, their products and the needs of their customers. However, It isn't just the great work that they do - they also have one of the most fantastic teams in the business - and this goes a long way to ensuring we work in partnership together, rather than a standard business / client relationship."

"ASA are absolute experts in their field - they set themselves apart through their attention to detail, incredible dedication, hard work and speed of service. In looking for a DMC it is important for the company you put your faith in to really know and own their destination: ASA are never content with what they did yesterday and are always pioneering new experiences that can add value to their impressive product range. Their B2B system is efficient, easy to use and brilliantly maintained. ASA understand that our wonderful industry is about people - they gain fantastic terms for their agents by truly understanding and valuing long term relationships with their suppliers. We would have no hesitation in recommending ASA to anyone looking for a full service agency to develop their UK and Ireland programme."
