TORONTO — ACTA has announced three special offers for its members, two of which are available for a limited time.

The first offer allows members who renew their membership before Dec. 31, 2017 to be entered into a prize draw for a Via Rail travel voucher for up to $500. Membership kits have been posted for deliver as of Nov. 8 and may have already arrived at agencies.

In celebration of ACTA’s 40th anniversary, the second offer allows travel agents to obtain Certified Travel Counsellor (CTC) certification faster. This accelerated program requires three simple steps: enrollment at acta.ca/enroll, providing verification of 10 or more years of experience, and submitting client and industry references. No exam is required.

“Attaining and promoting your Certified Travel Counsellor (CTC) professional designation shows your existing clients and potential future clients that you have the proven skills, experience and commitment to excellence,” says Wendy Paradis, ACTA President. “Studies show that the value of the travel agent is on the rise and becoming certified highlights your dedication to your profession.”

This limited time opportunity is part of ACTA’s 40th anniversary celebration and will only accept enrollment through the accelerated program from Sept. 15 to Dec. 1, 2017.

The third and final offer is designed exclusively for new members. Those new to ACTA will receive a $50 Marriott Sponsorship towards their 2018 ACTA membership.
