- sell travel services to the general public as its primary business,
- comply with the UHPA Professional and ethical Code of conduct and agree to submit to the decisions of the UHPA Court of Arbitration, and apply General conditions for organization of trips and tours set by UHPA or apply their own conditions if they are more favourable to the travellers,

Candidates for the associated membership, in addition to the above mentioned registration and financial documentation,
