Ensemble Travel joins WTTC, marking a new phase in sustainable tourism and elevating travel advisors' influence worldwide.
Summary: Ensemble Travel joins the World Travel & Tourism Council as a regional member on February 16, 2026, strengthening the role of travel advisors and bringing ADX-powered technology and sustainability priorities into global tourism discussions.
Ensemble Travel joins WTTC as a regional member on February 16, 2026, a move that signals the consortium’s intent to play a larger part in global tourism policy and to bolster the influence of travel advisors in promoting sustainable travel choices. The organisation, which operates across the US and Canada, said the partnership will help drive recovery, innovation and collaboration across the sector.
A strategic membership for a long-standing consortium
Founded in 1968, Ensemble Travel has evolved into a major consortium that supports travel agencies across North America. By becoming a regional member of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC), Ensemble cements its position among organisations shaping the future of travel and tourism, particularly around sustainability and industry-wide recovery.
Why this strengthens travel advisors’ voice
Ensemble’s membership gives its network of advisors direct access to WTTC’s research, policy discussions and advocacy platforms. The consortium’s leadership says travel advisors are essential in connecting travellers with responsible and innovative travel experiences, and this relationship is intended to amplify that role in international forums.
Technology and operational benefits via ADX
A core asset for Ensemble is its ADX (Agent Digital Experience) platform. Ensemble says ADX gives agents instant commission visibility, simplifies insurance handling and streamlines customer care. As a WTTC member, Ensemble expects to leverage additional resources and strategic partnerships to expand those capabilities and improve advisor workflows.

Collaboration to advance sustainable and responsible tourism
The partnership positions Ensemble to both share best practices and help influence policy on travel infrastructure, environmental sustainability and community-centred tourism development. Ensemble’s advisors will gain access to WTTC insights that can be used to design trips that prioritise local communities and cultural preservation.
Implications for destinations and economic growth
Ensemble’s engagement with WTTC is expected to support sustainable economic development by promoting travel to under-explored regions and improving accessibility for international visitors. The collaboration aims to marry technology-driven solutions with advisor-led, bespoke travel planning to boost local economies while protecting destination assets.
Ensemble’s membership also signals to industry stakeholders that travel advisors remain central to recovery strategies — not only as sellers of trips, but as stewards of responsible tourism practices that deliver long-term benefits.
What this means for travellers and the industry
For travellers, Ensemble’s WTTC membership could translate into more sustainable, well-researched and locally conscious trip options curated by advisors with better access to global data and policy guidance. For the industry, the move strengthens advocacy for infrastructure and sustainability policies that support resilient tourism growth.
So what? Ensemble Travel's WTTC affiliation means travel advisors in the US and Canada will be better positioned to influence global policy, access research and tools, and offer clients travel experiences aligned with sustainability goals — potentially improving service quality and expanding responsible travel choices.
