ACTA celebrates Travel Agent Day with their members

May 1st was Travel Agent Day and ACTA celebrated with their members across the country.

First, ACTA launched a contest through social media to promote the value of a Travel Agent to the consumer. We asked our members to share "why they are proud to be a Travel Agent..." Thank you to all that have followed, commented and liked. The responses have been great! The contest closes May 15 so there is still time to participate with prizes to be won!

On the same day ACTA hosted a member event in Quebec City. Leaders in the industry gathered at the Auberge Saint-Anton to participate in a mini trade show, receive an update from ACTA and hear from leading suppliers in our industry on topics that affect our business followed by a cocktail reception and dinner.

Thank-you to all the sponsors for your support of this event and thank-you to the travel agents that came out to celebrate with the suppliers. It was great to see so many agencies represented and we look forward to more of these events in the future!
