In its mission to “support, advocate for and elevate” Canada's travel agencies and independent travel advisors, ACTA leadership works closely with regional advisory committees to ensure different needs are heard and met from all areas of our vast country.
"When we work closely with our members across the country, we achieve the strongest outcomes for Canada's travel agencies and advisors," says Suzanne Acton-Gervais, President of ACTA. "Our Regional Advisory Committees play a critical role in ensuring we stay connected to the needs of our members, share information effectively across regions, and advocate with a unified and informed voice."
ACTA is pleased to welcome new and returning chairs and vice-chairs for 2026. In announcing the incoming leadership, ACTA said that each member will “play a vital role in representing members across the country, supporting advocacy efforts, and providing valuable insights that help shape the future of Canada's travel industry.” The 2026 committee leaders will guide regional engagement, collaboration, and strategic initiatives throughout the year.
