President's Podium: It's time to renew!
Dear members,
Its membership renewal time and we want to sincerely thank our member agencies for the continued support of ACTA. We are here to represent the interests of the retail travel trade and are asking you to renew your membership so we can continue to keep pace with the industry while you focus on managing and building your business. The renewal kits have been mailed out and we hope you will take the time to review the information and fill out the forms. We have been accomplishing amazing things and are respected around the world. We can only do this thanks to your kind support. We hope you will also consider recomending us to those who may not be part of ACTA already.
Your membership dollars are put to work towards. . .
- Advocacy – representing the interests of the retail travel industry and the travelling public to government, suppliers and other organizations through one strong voice.
- Public Relations – promoting the value of the retail travel industry to the travelling public and actively positioning the travel agent as the authority in travel.
- Member Support – keeping our members engaged, connected and “in the know”, through such helpful tools as member communications and events, cost saving programs and innovative business tools to help travel agencies enhance and grow their business.
- Education and Certification – elevating standards and encouraging professionalism through promoting travel agent and travel school certification programs throughout Canada and presenting the role of travel agent as a viable and rewarding career.
With so much activity in our industry surrounding taxes and fees, NDC, the sale of Travel health Insurance, travel fraud and agent debit memos, ACTA will continue to keep a watchful eye and offer assistance while protecting your interests and keeping you informed.
We thank you for helping us fulfill our role as YOUR trade association.
Sincerely
