TORONTO — TTC Tour Brands has welcomed Michele Kempf as a new Sales Manager following the recent retirement of Ken Nickerson.

Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Kempf will represent the territories of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island and Quebec. She is fluent in English, French and German and brings with her over seven years of experience in the tourism industry, with a background in sales, operations and client relationship management.

As she grows into her new role, Kempf says she’s “looking forward to building strong and genuine relationships with travel advisors across Atlantic Canada and Quebec” and that she’s “committed to supporting the region and being a trusted resource for advisors.”

Kempf takes over the reins from Nickerson, who retired on June 30 after 16 years with the company. Throughout his tenure, he built strong relationships across Atlantic Canada and was consistently voted ‘Favorite Sales Manager’ by Canadian travel advisors. TTC Tour Brands extends their gratitude for Nickerson’s years of dedication, noting he will be deeply missed across the industry, particularly by advisors who’ve built close friendships with him over the years.

Kempf joins a dedicated group of TTC Tour Brands Sales Managers in Canada that includes Austin Fraser (Greater Toronto Area and Eastern Ontario), Brenda Bradley (North and Southwestern Ontario), Jodine Clement (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba), and Paula Rizos (British Columbia and Yukon).
