The Association of Canadian Travel Agencies and Travel Advisors (ACTA), in partnership with the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO), will host its 2026 International Destination Conference in Yokohama, Japan.
“We are thrilled to partner with the Japan National Tourism Organization to bring ACTA’s 2026 International Destination Conference to Yokohama,” said Suzanne Acton-Gervais, President, АСТА.
“Сanadians are travelling further and staying longer, with strong renewed interest in Asia. Hosting in Japan provides our members with a valuable opportunity to deepen their destination knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and return better equipped to serve their clients.”

“Canada continues to be a strong market for Japan tourism and as we come off another record-breaking year, we look forward to strengthening our partnerships to create meaningful, inspiring experiences for Canadian travellers in the years ahead.”
