ACITA Makes Headway in Fight for Aid for Travel Advisors

ACITA (Association of Independent Travel Advisors) is thrilled to see they are making headway with government by being heard and considered for protection. In a meeting in a TRAN Committing meeting (the government of Canada's committee on Transport and infrastructure), travel advisors were referred to six times.

"Our community is over the moon that we are being referred to in these meetings and being considered as a part of the airline aid package," Brenda Slater, ACITA co-founder said in an email statement.

"These mentions are a direct result of the advocacy that three wee travel advisors with no political experience, and an army of supporters have done. It is simply incredible that we have been able to create this kind of impact for our beloved industry. It makes all of the work we have done for the past eight months, worth it."
