As the vibrant days of summer approach, the industry gathered to celebrate camaraderie and the spirit of community at a recent event hosted by Travelweek. Kathryn Folliott, Editor of Travelweek, opened the gathering with heartfelt remarks, emphasizing the importance of renewing connections and enjoying the remarkable rooftop venue while indulging in delicious cuisine. “We’re also here to thank you, our treasured industry partners. We couldn’t do what we do without you,” she remarked, highlighting the significance of collaboration in the travel sector.
With Canada Day just around the corner, she also shared sentiments of national pride. “I know we’re all feeling even more patriotic than usual these days,” Folliott continued, reflecting on how Canadians have evolved in their self-perception. “Canadians used to get teased about our politeness, our sense of decency and fairness. Now Canada is admired for those same qualities.” She expressed pride in Travelweek’s commitment to uphold these Canadian values as a cornerstone of their operations since their founding in 1973.
Devin Kinasz, Publisher of Travelweek, also addressed attendees, highlighting the company’s diverse portfolio. He articulated how their offerings ensure that supplier campaigns resonate with travel advisors, no matter where their clients are planning to travel this year and in the future. “We’re read by Canadian travel advisors from coast to coast to coast,” Kinasz stated. This national reach is a pivotal element of their strategy, underpinning their commitment to support businesses operating across Canada.
In an age where connectivity is crucial, the event underscores the essential role of partnerships within the travel industry. As travel advisors continue to adapt to evolving market conditions, the connections fostered at such gatherings promote a collaborative atmosphere that benefits all parties involved.
By tapping into the strengths of their extensive network, Travelweek ensures that the travel community remains informed and engaged. For more information about Travelweek and its initiatives, visit [Travelweek’s Official Website](https://www.travelweek.ca).
