Ann Ruppenstein
Welcome to our annual Travel Agent Appreciation combined issue of Travel Courier and Canadian Travel Press. Since 2016, we’ve been highlighting some of the remarkable travel advisors across the industry in Canada for this special edition.
This year, we received an impressive amount of high calibre nominations to consider. Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations and to our partners who helped make this edition possible.
It’s important to point out that many suppliers and trade personnel reached out to say it would be impossible to put forward just one name when the entire industry deserves to be featured. After the overwhelming year we’ve all experienced, travel advisors certainly deserve extra praise and recognition for the hard work they did on behalf of clients while navigating the many ongoing challenges and complexities of the pandemic.
We hope you enjoy reading about your notable colleagues and the contributions they’ve made. But we’d also like to take the time to acknowledge everyone across the travel industry for their unwavering efforts. Congratulations to all and Happy Travel Agent Day!
Be sure to register now for a special Travel Agent Appreciation Event happening on May 27 featuring guest speakers and prizes. Plus an awards ceremony where one of the 18 nominees in this edition will be recognized with the brand new ‘Travel Agent and Beyond’ Award.
