2025 ACTA Quebec Canada Travel Industry Summit
Your New York State Tourism Champions booth was at the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies and Travel Advisors' (ACTA) 2025 Quebec Travel Industry Summit, on Wednesday, October 1, at the Montreal Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel. Diego Gantiva Gomez from REACH GLOBAL, representing I LOVE NEW YORK, joined us in the booth.
Attendees were drawn to our booth at the front of the Brand USA pavilion by our multimedia display and illuminated New York State map backdrop. Visitors to the booth appreciated the variety of information available to assist in planning trips to New York State for their clients.
While we had good traffic, both travel agents and advisors shared that they are having trouble getting travelers to consider visiting the United States. They appreciated our presence and reassurance that our Canadian neighbors are welcome in New York when they're ready.
