Last month, Trafalgar held its annual global sales and marketing conference for 2020 in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

In partnership with Northern Ireland Tourism, numerous Trafalgar and Costsaver staff members from around the globe gathered to celebrate successes and plan for the coming year’s activities.

At this year’s conference, Margarita Peloso, sales manager for Ottawa, Montreal, Central and Eastern Ontario, was recognized for her efforts and contributions and received the Sales Manager of the Year award.

On receiving the award, Peloso said: “My initial thoughts when winning the award were, this can’t be real, it truly has to be a pinch me moment.”

She added: “I’m part of an amazing tribe and I love working with our incredible travel agent partners. It’s a two-way communication – they ask for my assistance and I ask for their support. I feel so very lucky to work for Trafalgar and Costsaver. We have a remarkable team and outstanding product.”

The Trafalgar and Costsaver Sales Manager of the Year award is given to the Sales Manager who displays top growth in their territory, someone who goes above and beyond to be #AgentsFirst and is based off of feedback from loyal regional travel agents and colleagues around the world.

Anita Emilio, vice president of sales for Trafalgar and Costsaver Canada, said: “Margarita joined the Trafalgar and Costsaver tribe in September 2018 and has demonstrated such commitment to the Ottawa, Montreal and Eastern Ontario region. She’s very dedicated to her loyal travel agents and staff. We are very proud to see her hard work and dedication being recognized at this year’s global sales and marketing conference and wish her all the best in the years to come.”
