TL Network Canada Vice President Christine James, said: “This year’s supplier partner honourees continually go above and beyond for our TL Network Canada agencies and their clients. These awards are voted in by our membership recognizing these suppliers for their commitment to our industry and our Travel Leaders Network family as inspiring, powerful and woven within our most cherished value- our partnerships. We are proud to recognize each of them for the exceptional value and customer service they provide.”
The 2023 top supplier awards were chosen based on exceeding overall needs and providing tremendous support in specific areas of agent interest such as marketing, technology, sales support and education, and training.
This year’s best Sales and Service Partner of the Year was awarded to TravelBrands.
Overall Support Partner of the Year was awarded to Sunwing.
James noted that: “Our supplier partners are truly exceptional and to be recognized as the cream of the crop is an achievement these award winners can be very proud of.
