“Regionals are a valuable time for us as an organization to meet face-to-face with our members,” said Karin Viera, Vice President, Travel Leaders Network. “Whether it’s by taking a refresher course or asking questions, it is so important that we make sure our membership knows how to effectively leverage our offerings to their benefit. This small investment of their time can lead to advisors finding new ideas, making new connections and coming away with a renewed enthusiasm for their business.”

Suppliers were also a major draw at the Fall Regionals. Representatives from airlines, hotels and resorts, cruise lines and destination partners all took the opportunity to interact with members and introduce them to the latest product offerings. Notable supplier partners who also served as lead sponsors included: AIG Travel, Chubb, Funjet Vacations, Globus family of brands, Kensington Tours and Virgin Voyages.

Attendees spoke glowingly about their time at the Fall Regionals.

“My co-owner Rick and I attended the TLN Fall Regional in Atlanta and what a great time it was to meet up with other local travel agents around the state,” said Leslie Howard of Must Love Travel, LLC. “The agenda was both packed and useful. We especially enjoyed the updates on the latest and greatest from Cruise Complete, the variety of workshops, and the opportunity to meet up with TLN’s preferred suppliers during the roundtables and trade show.”

“I attended the Denver Regional and appreciated the updates about the Travel Leaders programs,” said Mark Falmo of Blue Planet Vacations. “I think the best part was the opportunity to meet and network with suppliers. Combining the information from new vendors I met at the roundtables with the interaction I had at the trade show will definitely help my business grow and succeed.”

“The TLN Regional Meeting in Houston was an extremely helpful, intimate gathering of like-minded peers,” said Camala Phillips of International Tours & Cruises. “Taking a day out of the office sounded impossible, but I’m so glad we did it. It was great to meet and talk with the TLN support staff. The trade show gave us valuable one-on-one time with many of the regional sales managers. It was also refreshing to network with other travel advisors. I’m very thankful for the opportunities, programs and all the support that TLN offers my agency.  We look forward to more Regionals.”
