As of February 28 the rules for entry to Canada have changed. If you have a trip planned reach out to your Independent Travel Advisor for details. We’re still asking the government to drop all testing for fully vaccinated Canadians. #travel #canadiantravelindustry #cdnpoli

STATEMENT: Trudeau government must fix support for independent travel advisors

We should all be seriously concerned about the state of the Travel Advisor sector. No support as promised and the Canadian public heavily relies on their longevity. Thank you to our valued Executive Team Member Sarah Boville of Barefoot Travel Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

Thank you Nancy Wilson for your powerful words Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

Arlene always has powerful words. Nobody should be cashing in their retirement savings to stay afloat. Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

Our co-founder Judith Coates has some words for the government - make good on your promises. Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

This week I met with constituents and members from ACITA (Assoc'n of Cdn Independent Travel Advisors), who are not included in the tourism support programs. This government must fix the supports for Independent Travel Advisors now. #millwoods #yeg #edmonton

Cathy’s story is just the tip of the iceberg. Two years in, & still no sign that the Gov’t “has our backs” or is “here for you”. #independentTravelAdvisors need sector specific aid & need it yesterday. Cathy Dawn Wiechnik

Almost a year since a handful of MP’s spoke up for Independent Travel Advisors. A year later and all is quiet and we’re still struggling for assistance. #cdnpoli news.paxeditions.com/news/buzz/vide…

Our ITA, Carol Gobeil hasn’t seen income for 2 years and may not see it again for another 6 months. Support for this sector is needed. #cdnpoli Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

Independent Travel Advisors have been told support is coming yet there is no sign of help anywhere. Patty Reichert points out the government’s failed promises. Randy Boissonnault 🏳️‍🌈

Canadian Travel Industry: “We’re really struggling. We need help, more staff, better working conditions.” Canadian Government: “I have an amazing idea. We will bring back testing!” #cdnpoli #travelindustry #sarcasm Melissa Lantsman Michelle Ferreri
