AGENTS’ CHOICE 2026: Where there’s Strength, there’s Resilience

The Agents’ Choice Readership Survey is back and in 2026, we’re celebrating the industry’s Strength & Resilience because if there are two words that best describe Canada’s travel industry, it is strength and resilience.

Consider, if you will, all of the events – events outside the industry’s control – that have upended the natural course of the travel business in this country over the years.

The list is long and the impact of each of those events on businesses and individuals in this industry have been felt deeply.

And that’s why Strength & Resilience is theme of the annual Agents’ Choice Readership Survey.

It is a celebration of this industry’s ability to adapt and to bounce back from any and all hardships and recognizes how the businesses and people of this industry always find the strength to both recover and to thrive.

So, in 2026, we’re introducing the Strength & Resilience Award to recognize the supplier that has, time and time and time again, shown the strength and resilience to overcome each and every obstacle put in their path and to do it in a way that always supports their travel agency partners.
