Spain to Host ACTA’s 2025 International Destination Conference; Applications Open

Castilla y Leon, Spain will host ACTA’s 2025 International Destination Conference October 27 – November 1, 2025.

Advisors hoping to attend the conference must apply online before midnight EST, Friday, June 13, 2025. Only ACTA Member Travel Advisors will be considered and those with a professional designation of CTC will be given priority. The ACTA International Destination Conference is only open to Travel Advisors, no companions.

“Castilla y León is the perfect destination for our international conference, offering a rich blend of history, culture, and hospitality,’ said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President. “With its dramatic landscapes, UNESCO heritage sites and culinary experiences, it provides an inspiring setting for connection and innovation in travel. We are excited to bring our members together in this extraordinary region.”

Airfare is not included; however, ACTA is working with select airline partners to offer discounted rates for those selected to attend. Flight savings information will be provided upon acceptance.

Those selected to join ACTA in Castilla y León will be advised by Thursday, July 3, 2025 and invited to provide their booking details, agree to a code of ethics, and submit a non-refundable conference fee of $799 CAD based on single-occupancy – this includes all transfers, single occupancy accommodations, food and beverage, and a custom itinerary.

“It is an honour to be the host country for this year’s ACTA International Destination Conference,” said Isabel Martín Benítez, Director for Canada at the Tourist Office of Spain. “This event will provide a valuable opportunity to show ACTA travel advisors a region of Spain that is not yet widely known among Canadian tourists, allowing them to discover a beautiful part of our history, culture, gastronomy and heritage. I am confident that this initiative will strengthen the ties between Spain and Canada, bringing our two countries even closer together.”

Acceptances will be announced July 3, 2025.

Those advisors who are not currently ACTA members can submit their membership application at www.acta.ca/membership.
