The exchange rate is locked in at the time of booking, applying to both the deposit and final payment, thereby eliminating uncertainty due to currency fluctuations.This initiative underscores the company’s continued dedication to supporting the global travel trade with enhanced tools and policies. By providing locked-in pricing and eliminating currency risk, the update builds confidence among travellers and simplifies the selling process for agents, Tanguay explained.“This change is not just about currency options,” he added. “It’s about empowering our partners to grow their business with us and giving their clients the clarity they need when making a significant travel investment.”
