Avery Campbell is returning to ACTA later this month to head up ACTA’s advocacy portfolio.

“We are very pleased to have Avery return to the Advocacy position,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President. “Avery was with us previously as Director of Advocacy and Industry Relations and this will ensure a smooth transition for ACTA in this important role.”

Campbell first joined ACTA in 2021. He’s rejoining the organization following the resignation of Steve Olmstead, who is leaving for personal reasons.

“ACTA would like to thank Steve for his contribution and we wish him all the best in the future, ” said Paradis.

Paradis said that ACTA’s advocacy priorities going into 2024 include working with the federal and provincial Governments to reduce the financial and administrative burden on travel agencies and travel advisors, and to support the growth of the travel and tourism industry through national workforce development initiatives.

“Next steps with the Ontario government and TICO as an outcome of the Ontario Auditor General Report will commence this month, along with further Travel Supplier advocacy with the goal of building a stronger retail travel industry and Canadian travel industry at large,” said Paradis.

“With Avery’s past experience at ACTA along with his business and educational background, we know he will hit the road running in the advocacy role,” she added.
