ACTA has partnered with the Jamaica Tourist Board, Air Canada and Sandals Resorts to launch a new Destination Experience in sunny Jamaica.

Taking place from August 23-27, 2025, the event includes return air from Toronto, single accommodation at Sandals Dunn’s River Jamaica, destination presentations, product updates, off-site excursions with Sandals Resort International, an optional sunrise hike and birdwatching, and a farewell reception and dinner.

The full agenda can be found here. The cost to participate is $849.99.

The deadline to apply is May 16, 2025. The application is available here.

“The Jamaica Tourist Board is celebrating its 70th anniversary in Canada this year and we cannot think of a better way to celebrate with them than to offer this ACTA Immersive Destination Experience in Jamaica,” said Wendy Paradis, ACTA President.

ACTA’s 2025 Destination Experiences have been developed for Canadian travel advisors who are dedicated to growing their business and driving profitable growth. Destination Experiences are accredited under ACTA’s Continuing Education (CE) program. Travel advisors who attend the Destination Experience will be eligible to receive CE credits, which can be applied to obtaining or maintaining the professional designation of Certified Travel Consultant (CTC) or Certified Travel Manager (CTM).

The Jamaica event is in addition to ACTA’s sold-out Christmas Market River Cruise Summit, hosted in partnership with Avalon Waterways and taking place in November 2025.
