Hello Karen,

As you read this, Jenna and I are in Quebec for the Adventure Travel World Summit. Next week we go our separate ways — Jenna to Montreal and Ottawa for sales calls, and me to Zambia for the APTA Annual Conference.

Paula and Clarke are in Mozambique this week on a FAM trip with our partner Anantara Bazaruto Island Resort. If you’d like the same look at the island, our Bazaruto Unlocked webinar on September 29 is the place to be.

We’ve also just finished three weeks on the road with Walkers Tours, covering Arizona, Colorado, Washington and California, plus Toronto.

Take a look at our blogs, news and specials in this edition — there’s plenty in there to spark some inspiration for your clients’ next adventure.


Warmly,
Jane & the ED Team
