TRAVELSAVERS Canada hosted its first Dine & Discover event of the season on October 24 in Burnaby, B.C.

The event was held at the Burnaby Mountain Clubhouse and saw a strong turnout with roughly 40 TRAVELSAVERS members in attendance. It featured 12 travel suppliers, with Collette Tours, TravelBrands, WestJet Vacations, Manulife and Uniworld River Cruises as presenting suppliers.

Dine & Discover events, first held over the summer of 2023, are designed to facilitate meaningful one-on-one connections among owners, advisors and preferred partners in the travel space.

TRAVELSAVERS Canada says the events encourage key players in the industry to learn from one another through informative presentations, and create meaningful network connections for better business, relationships and services. Over the course of the evening, industry professionals have the opportunity to network and exchange insights on the latest product offerings and industry-leading tools and trends.

“The face-to-face networking at every event I attend with TRAVELSAVERS is invaluable to the success of my agency,” says attendee Allayne Clark, Owner of K Banks Travel. “Virtual meetings can’t come remotely close.”

Svetlana Senyuk, President and CEO of Maxima Travel International Ltd., echoed a similar sentiment. “It was such a welcoming atmosphere, with lots of time for interaction with suppliers and owners as well as great presentations with useful, educational topics.”

Emma Madsen, Director, Business Development, of TRAVELSAVERS Canada, says she is thrilled the Dine & Discover series continues to please. “It was such a fantastic night with great energy in the room,” she says. “We’re delighted to see such exciting engagement through our Dine & Discover events. It’s our goal to provide partners with a competitive edge to help them stand out in the market.”

Members can look forward to upcoming Dine & Discover events to be held in Quebec City, QC, (November 7) and Toronto, ON, (November 9) this season.
