ACTA announces November conference in the Azores

ACTA has announced it will be holding its first international destination conference in the Azores.

Taking place Nov. 18-25 on two of the Azores islands—São Miguel and Terceira—the ACTA International Destination Conference will allow advisors to connect with local providers and improve product knowledge while further developing social media business-building skills.

“Azores is renowned for its natural beauty and cultural richness, a unique destination that is becoming more popular for Canadian travellers interested in authentic and quality travel experiences,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA’s president. “It will be the perfect backdrop for fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among travel advisors across Canada in an international destination.”

ACTA is working with Visit Azores, Visit Portugal and SATA Azores Airlines to put on the event.

“It is with great pleasure that we host an event from an organization of the importance of ACTA,” said Luis Capdeville, CEO at Visit Azores. “We expect this event to be a catalyst in the notoriety and promotion of the Azores Islands in the Canadian market, which has direct connections throughout the year and which has been establishing itself in the top five markets sending tourists to the Azores Islands.”

Travel advisors are invited to register their interest online before midnight PST on Friday, May 3, 2024.

Those selected to join ACTA in the Azores will be invited to share their full details while also providing a nominal, non-refundable deposit of $250 on/after Tuesday, May 21^, 2024.

The cost to attend the conference is $999, which includes airfare from Toronto, single occupancy accommodations and a custom itinerary.

Only ACTA Member Travel Advisors will be considered and companions are not allowed.
