ACTA is adding two additional experiential learning opportunities for travel advisors in 2023.

Along with the sold-out ACTA-Avalon Waterways European River Cruise Summit taking place in October of this year, ACTA has added the Dominican Republic from August 15–21 and Alentejo, Portugal from November 13 – 19.

ACTA says its 2023 Immersive Destination Experiences have been developed for Canadian travel advisors who are dedicated to growing their business and driving profitable growth.  These professional development opportunities will enable participants to immerse themselves in the culture and authenticity of a destination, improve product knowledge and further develop social media business building skills.

To create the trips, ACTA partnered with destinations Dominican Republic and Visit Portugal with air provided by Air Canada.

Registration is now open for these new Immersive Destination Experiences available to ACTA travel advisor members:
