TORONTO — A small gathering of travel industry friends and colleagues celebrated the holiday season yesterday at a luncheon hosted by Experience Kissimmee.

The Experience Kissimmee Christmas Social was hosted by Denise Graham, Account Manager, Experience Kissimmee, Toronto and Yinglu Tian, Experience Kissimmee’s Director of International & Domestic Sales, based in Kissimmee.

Graham and Tian were joined by 12 trade partners including Frank DaCosta, Global Sales Manager with the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. NASA’s Kennedy Space Center is prioritizing the Canadian market, says DaCosta.

Participants had fun decorating their own gingerbread house, then tucked into lunch. The venue was Le Dolci Culinary Classroom and Studio in Toronto.

Experience Kissimmee has stayed active in the trade throughout the pandemic, keeping travel advisors up to date on the latest news from the popular Florida destination. Its first in-person trade event in Toronto since the start of the pandemic took place in September 2021.
