The American Society of Travel Advisors (ASTA) announced that it has made its Hotel Watch List publicly available, expanding visibility of hotels that have been reported by ASTA members for not paying travel advisor commissions.

Previously accessible only to ASTA members, the Watch List is now available for public viewing through March 13, 2026 to promote transparency, strengthen accountability and encourage broader industry participation in ASTA’s Report a Hotel tool.

Since launching the reporting tool late last year, ASTA has helped recover nearly $15,000 in unpaid commissions for advisors. The organization has set a goal of recovering $100,000 in hotel commissions in 2026 and views public visibility as a key step toward accelerating results.

The Watch List identifies properties reported by ASTA members that have not paid a commission 45 days or more following completion of the client’s hotel stay. Hotels are notified, in writing, of the complaint and then given an opportunity to resolve the outstanding issue through ASTA’s dispute resolution process. Properties that tender payment to the advisor or otherwise satisfactorily resolve the matter within 30 days are not added to the Watch List.

ASTA is urging all travel advisor members to use the Report a Hotel tool to report noncompliant suppliers and recover funds owed to advisors.

The Hotel Watch List is now available until March 13, 2026.

The Report a Hotel tool remains available exclusively to ASTA travel advisor members.
