MONTREAL — Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) has announced the 25 owners of Marlin Travel, TravelPlus, Club Voyages, and Affiliate agencies who have earned a place in TDC’s Bravo Excellence Club.
These agency owners, recognized for their sales performance in the 2024-2025 fiscal year, will have a chance to celebrate their success with a Med sailing from Lisbon to Barcelona onboard Norwegian Dawn in May.
“The strength of the Bravo Excellence Club lies in the fact that it reflects the reality of our network: among the winning agencies, we have agencies of all sizes, located in both large urban centres and smaller communities, but all of which share exceptional sales performance – of Transat products in Ontario, the Maritimes and Quebec, and WestJet Vacations and Air Canada Vacations products in the West – either in terms of volume or sales growth,” said TDC’s GM, Karine Gagnon.
Gagnon added: “For more than 20 years, this exclusive reward trip has welcomed a select group of agency owners – some familiar faces who return year after year, and some exciting newcomers. It’s our way of celebrating their achievements and saying thank you to those who champion the partners that make this program possible.”
Dianne Jackson, Director of Franchise and Affiliate Members at TDC, said the event is all about giving Bravo Excellence Club honourees a real break. “We come together to share and truly experience the passion that unites us: travel,” said Jackson. “One of the most valuable aspects – both for the TDC team and the owners – is the sense of connection this trip fosters in a relaxed setting that encourages conversations beyond the usual framework. And because Bravo Excellence Club brings together owners from across Canada, conversations are even richer, with regional differences and adaptation strategies at the heart of informal discussions. Spending an entire week together helps build lasting relationships that go beyond business. It’s a time to recharge and celebrate success among peers.”
