Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) invited 25 owners of franchised and affiliated agencies from across Canada and a companion of their choice for a seven-night reward cruise aboard the Seabourn Encore in the Eastern Mediterranean.
"This select group of entrepreneurs I had the pleasure of accompanying on this dream cruise all distinguished themselves in 2023 with extraordinary sales performances. This cruise was our way of congratulating and thanking them for their remarkable contribution as remarkable players within our network," said TDC GM Karine Gagnon.
"With the fast pace imposed by our daily activities, it's often more difficult to take the time, to have sustained, more thorough discussions. This direct feedback from our members is invaluable to me, as General Manager, as well as to the members of the TDC management team who accompanied the group".
The Greek islands and Turkey
The winners arrived in Athens on Air Transat and were invited aboard the Seabourn Encore for a week of refinement, attentive and personalized service, and a host of extras throughout the stay.
Recipient owners were treated to a boat expedition around the island of Skiathos in the Aegean Sea. They were also able to choose an excursion offered by Seabourn to discover Bodrum in Turkey.
An evening of recognition
At the end of the stay, TDC organized a recognition evening in the Grand Salon of the Seabourn Encore to highlight the owners' achievements and contributions in 2023.
"As we celebrate your achievements, we are aware that the road to excellence is not always easy," said Gagnon. "Hard work, dealing with the unexpected, supporting customers who rely on you when there's no one else, plus the ever-changing challenges of an ever-evolving industry - in short, all these things and more are your almost daily lot. Thank you for your resilience, dedication, and commitment."
Peru in 2025
TDC announced that the destination of its 2025 Bravo Excellence Club trip for deserving agency owners will be Peru.
"We're delighted to be able to offer our owners who stand out for their best sales performance this year the chance to take part in a recognition trip to Peru next year. I'd like to thank in advance our two partners, Transat and G Adventures, who will support us in creating this trip, so that our recipients can enjoy a memorable experience," said Gagnon.
