Open Jaw was on hand for the Humber College Travel Trade Show, as travel industry members of the future presented a wide range of destinations to their fellow students in a mock trade show that attracted hundreds of visitors over a couple of hours.
Among the faculty members at Humber are a couple of familiar faces to the Canadian travel industry: Brent Carnegie, a 30 yr. veteran of companies including Thomson Vacations, Alba Tours and Conquest Vacations along with Doug Patterson, who spent nearly 30 years with The Travel Corporation Canada before joining Collette recently as its Canadian President.
