KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: accredited agent
An accredited agent is a travel agent who has received a formal appointment from a transport principal or group of principals to sell their services. IATA publishes accredited agents in its Agency List, and the official IATA definition is “a passenger sales agent whose name is on the Agency List.” Locations listed (Head Office, Branch Office, and historically Satellite Ticket Printer locations) are called approved locations, distinguished from the wider organization that may own multiple locations; the entry notes that STP locations have largely been phased out following the introduction of e-ticketing.

KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: Accredited Travel Professional (ATP)
ATP is a UK professional recognition developed by ABTA, ITT (Institute of Travel and Tourism), and People 1st (the sector skills council). It has three levels: Bronze (for holders of NVQ Level 2 or equivalent such as QCF from September 2010, ABTAC Level 1, or two years’ experience plus relevant qualifications), Silver (four years’ industry experience plus relevant qualifications), and Gold (seven years’ industry experience plus relevant qualifications). The entry emphasizes that ATP is intended as recognition of existing qualifications and experience rather than a new qualification, provided the professional keeps skills current through an ATP continuous professional development programme, and it references the ATP website listed in your text.

KembaraXtra – Travel Terms: acculturation
Acculturation is the process through which cultures interact and absorb customs, and the entry notes that despite widespread tourism some cultural aspects remain resistant to change, with Westernization highlighted as a major example. It cites the UNWTO definition: interaction between societies or groups resulting in cultural change, typically placing greater pressure on destination residents to adopt tourists’ ways than on tourists to change. The same idea is described in some textbooks as adaptation, and the entry explains how “host adaptation” or “tourist adaptation” specifies which group changes. Anthropological studies may use “passing” to describe indigenous adoption of tourists’ values. Cross-references include tourism area life cycle and demonstration effect.
