ACV celebrates winners of 2024 GEM awards

Air Canada Vacations (ACV) celebrated employee achievements at its annual GEM Awards last week with a gathering at the Hyatt Ziva/Zilara Cap Cana Resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.

GEM, first introduced back in 2019, is a peer-nominated award program that recognizes employees within the ACV organization that have consistently demonstrated outstanding efforts and achievements.

GEM, an acronym for “Going the extra mile” is Air Canada Vacations highest honour, recognizing employees within one of three categories: Ruby Award for outstanding commitment to service excellence; Diamond Award for bringing corporate culture to life; and Emerald Award for leadership.

“I am so grateful to be surrounded by such a talented and dedicated team of individuals, said Nino Montagnese, vice-president, Air Canada Vacations. “Our employees are a driving force behind our success. Their commitment to delivering excellence is truly inspiring and helps contribute to making us a leader in the leisure travel industry. Together, we continue to dream bigger!”

The celebrations, hosted by ACV’s senior leadership team, took place over four sun-filled days where GEM Award winners had the chance to relax and recharge while taking a dip in the waters of Juanillo beach, enjoy gala dinners, and partake in fun activities including live shows and a traditional Dominican Carnaval.
