4 Reasons to Attend This Year’s Travel Market Place West Conference
byDaniel McCarthy/
We’re just about two weeks out from the start of 2022’s Travel Market Place West Conference.
The conference is built and designed specifically to help travel advisors thrive and connect with suppliers in person, as well as learn from industry-leading experts who will cover a wide array of business-building topics from around the industry.
此次会议,which is held May 2-3 at theJW万豪帕克温哥华,是TMR年的亮点之一,我们很高兴在那里见到您。这只是您可以期望的味道:
1.受欢迎的会议返回
This year’s TMP West marks the event’s return to Canada’s west coast for the first time since 2020. Nicknamed “CO-Vision 2020,” the 2020 conference took place in February 2020, just before the world closed down.
While that year was filled with discussions about surviving what was to come, this year’s conference is expected to strike a different tone, mainly one of preparing for the industry’s bounce-back, which is already well underway.
例如,加拿大航空公司在2020年4月的每日乘客负载低至2,175,在4月1日载有100,0701辆,这是一个主要的里程碑,不仅是承运人,而且对加拿大和国际旅行行业的一般里程碑。
It is that kind of sentiment and optimism that is expected to drive this year’s conference, one that will not only leave attendees feeling positive about their future but also prepare for the oncoming return of travel demand.
2. The Program
今年的会议将由名为“电子邮件营销的祖父”的数字营销偶像Ron Cates主持。Cates将领导一项计划,其中包含专门用于帮助旅行顾问在2022年建立业务的教育会议,包括:

3.场地
JW万豪帕克·温哥华(Parq Vancouver)位于温哥华市中心,位于城市娱乐区的中心,位于False Creek Waterfront。距罗布森街(Robson Street)购物仅几步之遥,离温哥华标志性的加斯敦(Gastown)区不远。
The hotel is one of the top-rated hotels in a city known for its hotel offerings—it holds a 4.5-star rating out of 5 based on more than 400 reviews on TripAdvisor. And it offers more than rooms, suites, and convention space.
The hotel’s third-floor sports a casino with everything from nickel slots and $5 blackjack to private high-limit salons. Food and drink offerings onsite include Honey Salt, a farm-to-table restaurant with an emphasis on locally sourced ingredients; The Victor, a seafood and steakhouse eatery; and BC Kitchen, which the hotel calls “Vancouver’s best sports bar.”
