TORONTO — ACTA will be celebrating Travel Advisor Month with a series of workshops and a special Wellness Challenge.
Spearheaded by Travel Agent Appreciation Day, which takes place each year on the first Wednesday of May, Travel Advisor Month is now celebrated by many travel companies and organizations across the industry as a way to show their appreciation for travel advisors.
This year, ACTA will be hosting online Business Building Workshops sponsored by Princess Resorts, the Jamaica Tourist Board and Air Canada to help advisors get ahead in their businesses.

The workshop schedule is as follows:
- May 1, 11:00 a.m. EDT, ‘Turbulence to Triumph’

- May 1, 1:30 a.m. EDT, ‘Delegation: The Art of Delegating Effectively’
- Empower yourself as a travel professional by mastering the skill of delegation. Learn how to effectively assign tasks, streamline processes, and leverage the strengths of your team to maximize productivity and achieve your goals efficiently.
- May 28, 11:00 a.m. EDT, ‘Troubles into Treasures: Turning our most challenging clients into our biggest fans’
- Some clients drain our energies and resources so much we'd be happy to lose them and never hear from them again. However, what if there is a way to turn these clients into your happiest ones that will not only do repeat business, but will likely like you so much they refer you to their network?
- May 28, 1:30 p.m. EDT, ‘Navigating Emotions: Building Emotional Intelligence for Travel Professionals’
