TTAND Named to Top Tier of Air Canada Vacations’ New Prestige Partner Program

TTAND Named to Top Tier of Air Canada Vacations’ New Prestige Partner Program

The Travel Agent Next Door has been named to the top tier of the inaugural Air Canada Vacations Prestige Partner Program, the new annual recognition initiative designed to celebrate national 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,” said Elish Tait, Manager, National Accounts, Air Canada Vacations. “Their dedication to our partnership, commitment to excellence, and ongoing support of Air Canada Vacations have made them a valued and trusted partner.” 

“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.”

Partners are evaluated annually based on a range of performance, engagement, and partnership criteria established by the tour operator. 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 Flemming Friisdahl, Founder of TTAND. 

“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.”

Air Canada Vacations will begin celebrating its inaugural Prestige Partners in the coming weeks and will also share qualification criteria for the following year, reinforcing the program’s long-term role as a cornerstone of partner recognition.
