TORONTO — Travel’s recovery is in full swing, and it couldn’t have happened without the hard work, dedication and sheer perseverance of travel advisors.

‘Future of Travel: Agent Appreciation’ will take place Wednesday, May 31, from 1 – 3 p.m. EST. Registration for the online event – the latest in Travelweek Group’s ‘Future of Travel’ series – is now open. Click here to sign up.
Tour operators, tourism boards, hoteliers and more will offer their take on the industry’s recovery year, and share their gratitude for their travel advisor partners.
“It has never been more clear just how important travel advisors are, and how the work they do keeps Canadians travelling – and supplier product flying off the shelves!” says Travelweek’s Publisher, Devin Kinasz.
Kinasz continued: “Travel Agent Day, celebrated every May, got its start right here in Canada and one of the keynote speakers for ‘Future of Travel: Agent Appreciation’ on May 31 is the President of the travel agency where it all began. So many suppliers celebrate travel advisors all month long and we’re taking this chance to show our appreciation for agents. Register now for your chance to win one of 100 prizes during the show! We’ve never had a prize giveaway like this in the history of our ‘Future of Travel’ series.
