ACITA (Assoc'n of Cdn Independent Travel Advisors)

@R_Boissonnault in December you said to me personally at an @ACITACANADA meeting “Heather don’t lose your home” yet here I am packing. #IndependentTravelAdvisors are still being left behind @JohnBrassardCPC I don’t want to leave your riding!

Listen to Carrie Borer's story about how she developed a meaningful second career in travel, and is now facing great hardship without continued financial support @ScottReidCPC @R_Boissonnault

Independent travel agents have been without financial support since Oct 2021, despite Omicron devastating the winter holiday season. Patty Reichert says "Government's slogan is 'no one left behind.' Independent travel advisors have been left behind." @TimUppal @R_Boissonnault

Independent travel agents need financial support. @theinnernomad calls on the Government of Canada to "listen and move forward with the industry-specific recovery plan. We need this help, and we need it now." Watch: bit.ly/3LiRKX8 @DaveMacKenzieMP @R_Boissonnault

Travel agents are paid only after travel is complete, which means our sector will be among the last to recover. Independent travel agent Carole Gobeil says "we still have another six months to a year to recover." Financial support is urgently needed @Yasir_Naqvi @R_Boissonnault

Independent travel agent @cwiechnik says "we are pleading with our federal government to remember we are still here and we still need, and deserve, sector-specific aid." @dckurek @R_Boissonnault

Independent travel agent @wiredfortravel calls for support "We need our government to understand that reopening does not mean recovery for the travel industry. We need government to make good on their promises to help the travel industry survive" @adamchamb @R_Boissonnault
