TORONTO — Get ready for ‘Future of Travel: Proudly Canadianʻ, taking place today, Wed. May 7, at 1 p.m. (ET).
The virtual event is the latest edition of Travelweek Group’s ‘Future of Travel’ series. Not only is the series marking its 5th anniversary this year, it’s also perfectly timed for Travel Agent Day.
Travelweek is ready to share its gratitude for Canadian travel advisors with a full roster of great keynote speakers, interviewed by the Travelweek team. Today’s event also features destination updates, product news, and more.
“We couldn’t be happier to be presenting ‘Future of Travel: Proudly Canadianʻ today, on Travel Agent Day. It’s a great alignment of two of our key priorities: a big celebration of the Canadian travel industry’s dedicated travel advisors on their special day, and a fierce appreciation of Canada – from a thoroughly Canadian company – in these challenging times,” said Travelweek’s Publisher, Devin Kinasz.
Prizes include hotel nights at Chelsea Hotel, Toronto, the Fairmont Le Chateau Frontenac in Quebec City and Warwick Le Crystal in Montreal. There are also three $100 gift certificates from The Keg, and a $1,000 gift certificate from Air Canada.
