ACTA's 2025 Destination Conference will be in Castilla y León, Spain – apply now!

Building on last year's epic conference in The Azores, ACTA has partnered with the Tourist Office of Spain for its 2025 International Destination Conference, which will be held in Castilla y Leon from October 27 to November 1, 2025.

Throughout the six-day itinerary, advisors will immerse themselves in the history, culture and authenticity of Castilla y León, connect with local providers, improve product knowledge--while further developing social media business-building skills.

“Castilla y León is the perfect destination for our international conference, offering a rich blend of history, culture, and hospitality,’ said Wendy Paradis, ACTA's president, in a release. “With its dramatic landscapes, UNESCO heritage sites and culinary experiences, it provides an inspiring setting for connection and innovation in travel. We are excited to bring our members together in this extraordinary region.”

Isabel Martín Benítez, director for Canada at the Tourist Office of Spain stated: “It is an honour to be the host country for this year’s ACTA International Destination Conference. This event will provide a valuable opportunity to show ACTA travel advisors a region of Spain that is not yet widely known among Canadian tourists, allowing them to discover a beautiful part of our history, culture, gastronomy and heritage. I am confident that this initiative will strengthen the ties between Spain and Canada, bringing our two countries even closer together."

Air transportation for this event

Airfare is not included, but ACTA says it is working with select airline partners to offer discounted rates for those selected to attend. Flight savings information will be provided upon acceptance.

Those selected to join ACTA in Castilla y León will be advised by Thursday, July 3, 2025 and invited to provide their booking details, agree to a code of ethics, and submit a non-refundable conference fee of $799 CAD based on single-occupancy – this includes all transfers, single occupancy accommodations, food and beverage, and a custom itinerary.
