The Travel Industry Council of Ontario (TICO) is looking to fill a position on its Industry Advisory Council (IAC). The council works to provide guidance and advice to the Board of Directors and senior management in the execution of TICO’s mandate.

The IAC’s work is complementary to the work of the Consumer Advisory Council (CAC) which focuses on the customer experience, based on feedback from consumers themselves as well as from industry members. There are  four positions open on the CAC which need to be filled.

Nominations are sought from those who:

  • Have a positive orientation towards consumer protection.
  • Are collaborative and can actively engage in discussions.
  • Understand and embrace TICO’s consumer protection mandate.
  • Considered by peers as independent thinkers recognized for consensus building with strong strategic, risk management, communications and teamwork skills.
  • Represent the diversity of Ontario, willing to consider a broad range of perspectives.
  • Have unquestionable integrity, credibility and high ethical standards.

If this sounds like you, and you are able to commit to four (ideally in-person) meetings throughout the year, TICO would like to hear from you.

Apply to join the IAC

If you are interested in representing your travel sector perspective and contributing to the future of TICO’s consumer protection mandate, please follow this two-step process:

1. Complete this short online application form; and

2. Send your resume to [email protected]

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 4 pm Eastern.

Apply to join the CAC

In addition to recruiting consumer members, there are positions available for industry members whose role is focused on the consumer perspective. For example, this could include individuals who oversee customer experience, customer service, complaints or related functions within a travel agency or tour operator. 

1. Complete this short online application form; and

2. Send your resume to [email protected]

The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 27, 2026 at 4 pm Eastern.

For more information

A detailed Terms of Reference is available on TICO's website, which provides further details, context and expectations for future committee members. Common to similar public sector councils, members should expect a reasonable but thorough review of their candidacy, including an interview and necessary background checks.

Please note that membership will only be permitted on one TICO council.

Any questions can be directed to [email protected].
