Avery Campbell is stepping down as the Association of Canadian Travel Agencies' (ACTA) director of advocacy and industry relations after nearly five years.
In a post on Linkedin on 26JAN, he said he looked back on his tenure at ACTA “with a deep sense of pride in what we achieved during some of the most challenging years in the industry’s history.”
Campbell originally joined ACTA in 2021 at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In his post, he says he jumped “right in to action” to support members during a difficult time for the industry.
During his time at the organisation, he says he lead national grassroots advocacy campaigns as well as lobbying ministers and government officials. He also highlighted other achievements, including developing “the research platform for Canada’s first statistical survey of the retail industry” as well as “representing Canada at global airline-agency forums.”
Campbell says he has a “passion for operational leadership and technology”, and that he helped to build the company’s new website and reform payment systems. He also cited his interest in AI-first tools.
Now, he says he’s looking for new opportunities and thankful for his time at ACTA.
“I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have worked with best-in-class colleagues and to have engaged with our members across the country,” he said.
