To join the RTA as an RTA Business Partner you need to fill in and submit the online registration form for your chosen category and level of membership. There are several parts to the registration form:

Your Registration Data – Standard information that will assist us in providing you with a high standard of personalised service, and an equitable deal for your travel-related products and services experiences.
Your Online Profile Data – The additional information that you enter, using the online editor, covering more detailed information on your business.

The registration form also includes the following agreements for your electronic signature:

The RTA General Business Agreement – Our assurance that we will not use your data (designated private, shared internally, or public) for any reason other than stipulated without your written consent. That you will respect our intellectual property rights.
RTA Development Partners Data Research Agreement – Authorising us to allow selected Development Partners (university or tourism organisation research groups) access to your information (less your personal or identifying information) to study the responsible tourism industry and the RTA’s role in it. Bear in mind, we offer this service to Development Partner research groups in exchange for an agreed donation made to VWB (Volunteers Without Borders) which is used to fund development projects.
