News on Visit Porto & the North of Portugal, India Exotica Travels, Walkers Tours, Fez Travel, Yadi Travel & Vio Travel
Hello Karen,
We’re excited to share that we have a new addition to the team! Welcome Elaine Bylos, who joins us in Atlanta — you’ll be hearing from her soon.
The rest of the year is a busy one. We’re at Africa Showcase North America this month, USTOA in December, and then the whole team finally gets together in Yosemite for our annual retreat.
Before all that, there’s plenty going on. Manoj and Kuldeep will be at WTM London in early November, and we’re taking Vio Travel on the road through California and Utah — Karen will save you a seat. There are four webinars on the calendar too.
This month’s blogs run from Türkiye to Singapore to the Douro Valley, with a Moroccan winter thrown in. Have a look — there’s something in there for your clients’ next trip. Read on for the full details on this month’s promotions, webinars, partner news and where to find us on the road.
