The Alliance of Canadian Travel Agencies (ACTA) will be participating in the Travel and Leisure show on September 12. The virtual travel show, sponsored by The Globe and Mail, is expecting thousands of consumers to explore the site from across Canada.

“Finding a reliable, knowledgeable Travel Agent has never been more important,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA president. “During the pandemic, Travel Agents have been a lifeline for consumers in navigating changes, cancellations, travel advisories, travel insurance, available flights and resorts. Travel Agents have access to the latest information about destinations, rules and requirements and everything you need to know for a future trip.”

Travel Agents are there before, during and after passengers’ vacations, should they need their advice or assistance,” said Paradis.

Through ACTA’s participation in the Travel and Leisure Show, ACTA Travel Agency members will be featured through ACTA’s consumer website www.bookwithatravelagent.ca

“As consumer make their way through the show there will be opportunities for them to use our database and search for a travel agent in their area. This participation is being executed under our strategic pillar of “Promote” – promoting the value of the retail travel industry to the travelling public and actively position travel agencies and agents as travel experts, said Paradis.
