“Even as the pandemic persists, we continue to provide our member agencies with industry-leading technology offerings, booking tools and training available to help them grow their bottom line and stand out from the competition,” says James. “On the education front, we’ve raised the bar by offering more on-demand lessons and webinars. And at our annual events, the ‘EDGE’ conference and our Canadian Fall Regionals, members can continue to develop and advance with a variety of learning options and see each other in person to renew and build connections.”

On the many benefits of joining TL network Canada, Karen Kirby, Owner of Holiday Trips in New West Minister, BC, said: “We have had such tremendous support from Sue Urie, Tl Network’s Business Solutions Manager, Western Canada, who has been extremely helpful and is always there to assist us when needed. Additionally, Tl Network’s private web portal, Agent Universe, has everything our agency is looking for and allows our agents to access booking tools, programs and supplier information.”

Paulo Branco, General Manager of Ellison Travel & Tours Ltd. in Exeter, ON, says switching from another large high-end host agency to TL Network Canada was the best decision.

“TL Network’s seamless integration with our CRM and select marketing and promotional offers has driven new business to our door and kept our customers informed on updates within the travel industry,” says Branco. “There are also so many value-added benefits, including Agent Universe, which is easy to navigate and with a single click gives access to innovative tools such as pinSIGHT and advanced technology tools like CruisePro, all in one system.”
