TORONTO — Envoyage Canada has joined Travel Leaders Network, signing a strategic partnership with the largest consortium in the travel industry.
Envoyage Canada is the principal independent brand operating within Flight Centre Travel Group, one of the world’s largest travel agency groups.
The agreement marks the first consortium affiliation in Envoyage’s history and represents a significant expansion of the products, programs and support available to Envoyage’s network of independent travel advisors and agencies across Canada.
South of the border, Envoyage USA has also entered into a partnership with Travel Leaders Network.
“AN EXCITING MILESTONE”
Gail Banack, General Manager, Envoyage Canada, says the deal with TLN positions Envoyage Canada members for continued growth.
“Joining TLN is an exciting milestone for Envoyage Canada and another way we’re investing in the success of our members,” said Banack.
She said Envoyage is already known for “strong supplier relationships, exceptional member support, and business-building resources. Through the affiliation, Envoyage members will have access to even more preferred supplier programs, amenities, and marketing opportunities that help them deliver greater value to their clients.”
Envoyage Canada’s decision to partner with TLN was the result of a rigorous evaluation process and reflects Envoyage’s commitment to equipping its members with the most competitive set of tools, access, and preferred supplier programs available in the market, according to the host agency.
Envoyage says its entry into TLN as a first-time, previously unaffiliated member represents a net-new addition to the network; Envoyage brings an entirely new book of business and a distinct community of growth-minded advisors into the TLN ecosystem.
Members of Envoyage Canada will continue to benefit from the strong foundation that has defined the network, including a connected, experienced advisor community, business-building resources and the strength of Flight Centre Travel Group’s global ecosystem.
“A WIN-WIN FOR BOTH OF US”
Envoyage Canada members will also gain access to TLN’s dedicated cruise booking platform Cruise Complete, plus amenity sailing and enhanced group programs, as well as access to hotel and car content in SNAP, TLN’s fit-for-purpose distribution platform with modern booking capabilities for non-GDS advisors. There’s also access to preferred hotel amenity programs, TLN’s Agent Profiler consumer lead generation tool, and TLN’s network of preferred supplier relationships, Engagement Marketing programs, and preferred rates across leisure categories.
Lindsay Pearlman, President, Travel Leaders Network, said: “Envoyage is a formidable agency network, and we are thrilled to be affiliated with them. Not only am I excited to see how our products and programs will benefit them, but I am also looking forward to seeing how Envoyage’s considerable experience will add to Travel Leaders Network. This new partnership will be a win-win for both of us.”
