ACV's sales team grows with 3 new members

The Air Canada Vacations is growing again this week with the appointment of three new area sales managers representing markets in southern Ontario, British Columbia and Yukon.

The new appointees include Aaron Crawford, Juan Contreras Aragon and Crystal Cornthwaite, who have joined the ACV team effective immediately. The latest appointments follow the announcement earlier this week that Dana Gain, formerly of Norwegian Cruise Line, will be joining ACV this month as the tour operator’s senior director sales, groups and partnerships.

Contreras Aragon will cover the regions from Toronto East to Kingston, joining the ACV team from his most recent role as a flight attendant with Air Canada Rouge. He can be reached at jcontrerasaragon@vacv.com.

Crawford will cover the regions from Southwestern Ontario to Windsor. He most recently worked with Royal Caribbean/Celebrity Cruise as onboard sales consultant & destination expert and prior to that, with WestJet where he was a guest service ambassador. Crawford can be reached at acrawford@vacv.com.

Cornthwaite, who was most recently a business development manager for Tucan Travel, will cover the regions of West and Downtown Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Northern BC, Richmond, Ladner, North Shore and the Yukon. Cornthwaite can be reached at ccornthwaite@vacv.com.

Crawford and Aragon join ACV’s Ontario Sales team, which consists of Krista Cardona representing North Toronto, Central & Northern Ontario, and Dianne Pedroso representing the regions from Toronto West to Niagara. The Ontario Sales team is led by Monique Lalonde.

Cornthwaite joins ACV’s Western Canada Sales team, which consists of Lindsay Sande representing Southern Alberta and Grande Prairie, and Martha De la Torre representing East Vancouver, Burnaby, New West, Surrey, Delta, Fraser Valley, Tri-Cities, and Okanagan. The Western Sales team is led by Marigold Frontuna.
