Travelsavers' top 50 advisors experienced Eastern Europe, river cruising and "authentic travel" during a recent Elite Retreat.
As a result of the experiences, a Travelsavers Canada survey reveals advisors named Eastern Europe among the top rising destinations for 2024, with river cruising and authentic travel being among the most popular travel styles.
River cruise sales are up by 114% in Canada. Personalized experiences and authentic travel also placed on the top-five list of emerging trends, and "both came to life for the Elite advisors as they immersed themselves in the region's unique history and culture," Travelsavers said in a press release.
The advisors cruised the Danube from Budapest to Vienna on the Avalon Impression from 29NOV to 05DEC.
"The Travelsavers Elite Retreat is our chance to celebrate our outstanding advisors and their sales achievements," said Jane Clementino, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Travelsavers Canada. "During the event, consultants gain firsthand knowledge of these destinations and travel styles, helping them continue to deliver next-level travel experiences for their clients. Our top advisors are dedicated to providing the same distinctive experiences they enjoyed on this reward trip."
Networking played a crucial role at the event, where Travelsavers members formed new connections and rekindled old ones. Advisors gained insights into the latest products and trends in one-on-one meetings with preferred suppliers. The company emphasized the significance of informal connections made during tours, hands-on experiences, and evening events.
