ACTA has launched its 2026 membership drive with the organization inviting members of the travel trade to not only support their national trade association, but be part of a community with a powerful voice that is committed to advocating for travel agencies and travel advisors across Canada.
“Membership with ACTA means being part of a powerful, united voice that ensures Canada’s travel agencies and travel advisors are heard respected and represented at every level,” says Suzanne Acton Gervais, ACTA President.
“As our industry continues to evolve – facing new challenges and opportunities alike – it’s essential that we stand together as a community of travel professionals to advocate, elevate and celebrate the vital role of travel agencies and travel advisors across the country, while unlocking the tools, connections and recognition that helps our members thrive,” she says.
Benefits
ACTA members gain practical, revenue-focused support; timely advocacy that protects margins; exclusive supplier introductions and savings to reduce costs; and targeted resources that help turn insights into bookings.
“More than just perks, membership connects you directly with peers, partners, and a dedicated membership team ready to help you activate your benefits quickly,” says ACTA.
A 2026 ACTA membership also includes additional access to events and opportunities, such as:
- A dedicated government relations and advocacy team ensuring your voice and the travel industry is recognized and heard
- Complimentary ACTA Travel Industry Summits in Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal
- Best in Class Immersive Destination Experiences, International Conferences and Educational ACTA Roundtables across the country
