The Association of Canadian Travel Agencies and Travel Advisors (ACTA) has officially launched its 2026 Membership Drive.

“Membership with ACTA means being part of a powerful, united voice that ensures Canada’s travel agencies and travel advisors are heard, respected and represented at every level,” said Suzanne Acton-Gervais, ACTA president.

“As our industry continues to evolve—facing new challenges and opportunities alike—it’s essential that we stand together as a community of travel professionals to advocate, elevate and celebrate the vital role of travel agencies and travel advisors across the country, while unlocking the tools, connections and recognition that helps our members thrive,” she added.

“The future is bright. Canadians are travelling. They’re going farther and they're staying longer,” said newly appointed ACTA president, Suzanne Acton-Gervais
