A force awoke within me at approximately
6:45pm on Saturday evening. The spectacle of light sabres of all shapes and
sizes, some retractable some displaying a light show any 1976 disco would have
been proud of – is what greeted me at TDC’s regional conference wrap up gala in
Toronto. One couldn’t help but be transported to another space and time.
A time when agents and suppliers get
together to have fun, lift their spirits and enjoy a bit of a Jedi high.
TDC President, Joseph Adamo, commented on a
difficult year and the conference being a great opportunity to recognize individual
‘heroes’ for outstanding sales. “Our theme, The Force Awakens was a perfect
backdrop. While it was a tough year, many of our travel professionals were able
to overcome the challenging market conditions and continue to excel. We take
great pride in their accomplishments and were pleased to recognize them
publicly.”
According to Susan Bowman, Vice President
Marketing and Industry Relations, over 1000 Transat Distribution delegates in 3
regions joined together for the series of training conferences.
