Thank you to the organizers of the Travel Agent Owners Forum on a well-orchestrated and balanced event. We were pleased with the quality of the connections we made and look forward to attending future shows.
Attending the Romance Travel Forum has been such a major part in my growth as a Destination Wedding Specialist. The contacts I’ve made, the relationships I’ve formed all help me to help my couples with their special day. This industry is always changing and continued learning is so important to keep up on the trends…
I always get a knowledge boost at TravelSMG Forums. This year I have booked all 7 continents and am probably $200,000 more in sales. I owe TravelSMG for providing the face time with all those vendors.
What I love the most is to have the opportunity to meet advisors that have never sold or heard of our hotels. It help us to build a relationship with our company and give awareness to our products.
TravelSMG events build relationships which in turn grow your business. Once you step into that first event and start meeting other like-minded business-people, your energy level and passion for your travel business goes from 0 to 100.
The Travel Agent Forum is always an incredible opportunity to meet a diverse group of Agents! It’s always a boost for our business we consistently learn a lot.
