ACTA Releases FAQ on Budget 2022 and the End of Financial Subsidies

ACTA has received some comments from travel agencies and independent travel agents expressing disappointment about the end of federal financial subsidies.

"ACTA is also disappointed, but not surprised, as there were many signals coming from the government close to the federal budget release that COVID related subsidies were ending," said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President.

She added: "ACTA understands some travel agencies and independent travel agents are disappointed and understandably upset that financial subsidies were not included in the federal budget. At this point, it is clear that further pursuing financial subsidies after a definite 'no' is not in our members' interest, when there is no reasonable prospect of success. We also do not want to give travel agencies and independent travel agents false hope."

To help clarify the situation and provide additional context, ACTA has published a detailed FAQ available here.
