The live virtual conference will build on the success of Travelweek’s first ‘Future of Travel’ event, which took place in June and drew thousands of viewers.
Today’s event looks to shed light on travelling to the Caribbean now that we’re more than six months into the pandemic and its travel restrictions.
“This is not a typical start to the fall and winter travel season by any stretch, but there are Canadians who want to vacation in the Caribbean despite the challenges from the pandemic, and there will no doubt be more once the snow starts to fly,” says Travelweek Publisher Devin Kinasz. “Clients have questions and we want to help travel agents answer them, thanks to the up-to-the-minute information we’ll be getting from our keynote speakers in today’s virtual conference.”
For viewers who pre-registered, today’s event also includes several prizes including a $500 VISA gift card.
