ACTA’s Young Professionals of Canada (YPC)
ACTA’s Young Professionals of Canada is a program within the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) that was created exclusively for travel professionals aged 40 or younger. The YPC was created in order to allow young travel professionals to network, to gain a better knowledge of the industry and to give them opportunities leading to career development.
How Could YPC Benefit me?
The objective of the YPC is to create a forum for young travel professionals to network and to communicate with a group of peers experiencing the same issues within a continuously evolving industry. Membership in ACTA is required to become a member of YPC.
