ACTA is celebrating Travel Agent Day with a social media contest and a new video.

"There has never been more reason to take a moment and celebrate travel agents as there is today," the organization said in a statement. "Travel agents have never faced so much adversity as in the past 25 months - yet they have worked tirelessly for their clients, advocated for support over and over again, and now travel agents are finally seeing the return of travel."

ACTA is asking Canadian travel advisors to connect with them on social media today - via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn) or by visiting acta.ca/travelagentday -- to learn how the organization is celebrating the day and the prizes that are up for grabs courtesy of Air Canada and Sandals Resorts.
