The awards were presented in a special ceremony during Travel Leaders Network’s annual EDGE conference, held June 12-15 at the Gaylord Rockies Resort in Aurora, Colorado.

The conference brought together travel advisors and industry partners including airlines, cruise lines, hotels and resorts and tour companies. Participants had an opportunity to stay ahead of industry trends through choosing from more than a hundred classes, networking with colleagues and supplier partners and attending presentations by industry experts as well as Travel Leaders Network leadership.

The Agency of Excellence Award recognizes Associate agencies that have achieved success by maximizing Travel Leaders Network’s programs, products and services.

Each Travel Leaders agency was judged in multiple categories reflecting business growth, including their use of Travel Leaders marketing programs, sales, especially among key supplier partners, participation in training programs designed to enhance service to clients, attendance at local and national business networking meetings and overall promotion of the Travel Leaders brand.

The winners represent the top echelon of Travel Leaders Associates, demonstrating the highest level of expertise and providing exceptional service to their business and leisure clients.

“We are so proud of this outstanding group of Associates,” said Roger Block President of Travel Leaders Network. “As travel rebounds, they are growing their businesses while providing unparalleled service to their business and leisure clients. Each of these Travel Leaders members is well-deserving of the Agency of Excellence Award.”
