TORONTO — The Travel Agent Next Door has been named to ACV’s inaugural Prestige Partner Program, created to recognize the tour operator’s top-performing national partners.

First announced last month, the annual program aims to celebrate travel partners who demonstrate outstanding performance, loyalty, engagement and commitment to the Air Canada Vacations brand.

“We are incredibly proud to present this recognition to The Travel Agent Next Door and their Agent Partners. Their dedication to our partnership, commitment to excellence, and ongoing support of Air Canada Vacations have made them a valued and trusted partner,” said ACV’s Manager, National Accounts, Elish Tait.

“As one of only a select group of partners to achieve the highest level within our Prestige Partner Program, this recognition is a true testament to their exceptional performance, loyalty, and unwavering commitment to our shared success. We are honoured to celebrate this achievement and the strong relationship we have built together, and we look forward to many more years of success as partners,” she added.

Partners are evaluated annually based on a range of performance, engagement, and partnership criteria established by Air Canada Vacations. Based on their results, qualifying partners earn one of three distinctions: Trailblazer – the highest category, Navigator or Explorer.

“We really appreciate this recognition by Air Canada Vacations on behalf of all TTAND agent partners,” said TTAND founder Flemming Friisdahl. “Achieving the Trailblazer designation is a testament to their exceptional performance, loyalty and commitment to our shared success. I am very proud that our Agent Partners will be able to show this achievement with the logo in their signature line.”
