Air Canada Vacations is marking the one-year anniversary of its ACV@Home Program, a milestone that underscores the program's rapid success and commitment to supporting independent travel advisors in the ever-evolving travel industry.
Launched a year ago under the leadership of Krista Rothfuchs, ACV@Home has become a cornerstone of support for independent travel advisors, offering tools, training, and community engagement opportunities

The success of the program has led Rothfuchs to be promoted to Independent Advisors Manager, and the hiring of Tina Kensett as Area Sales Manager for Independent Advisors. ACV says the pair’s expertise and leadership will further strengthen the support provided to the ACV@Home community.
"I am delighted to witness the phenomenal success achieved within the program's first year. The rapid growth and positive impact on independent travel advisors emphasizes the effectiveness of our commitment to innovation and support, said Erminia Nigro, ACV’s General Manager of Sales for Ontario, and Atlantic Canada.
“The dedication and resilience displayed by our advisors has exceeded expectations, making ACV@Home a true example of success in the ever-evolving travel industry. We look forward to building on this achievement and continuing to empower our advisors for even greater milestones in the years to come."

As part of the anniversary celebrations, Air Canada Vacations has announced the second annual Simply the Best Awards, which will take place virtually on March 5th, 2024. The event will recognize the outstanding contributions and achievements of independent travel advisors within the ACV@Home Program.
In addition to the awards ceremony, Air Canada Vacations has unveiled Phase 2.0 of the ACV Masterclass, featuring Passport to Benefits, an exclusive program designed to provide independent travel advisors with even more tools and resources to enhance their expertise and grow their businesses.

Last year, TravelPulse Canada had the privilege of attending the first-ever ACV@Home fam trip exclusively for home-based host agency advisors. The destination: Saint Lucia, the green and gorgeous island that rises dramatically from the waters of the eastern Caribbean Sea.
Looking ahead, Air Canada Vacations will launch on-the-road initiatives across Canada and introduce three new Niche@Home accounts to its portfolio, including Transat@Home, Fareconnect, and GOTravel, alongside founding members TravelOnly, TTAND, FCI, Nexion, Centre Holidays, and Trevello.
