The first 50 agents who arrive at each of the 11 Granite Travel Trade Expos happening across the country this spring and fall, will receive a $20 MasterCard, courtesy of Catalonia Hotels & Resorts.  

“We are happy to be returning to the Granite Travel Trade Expos again this year, and really appreciate the opportunity to connect with so many top agents,” said Greta Hidalgo, North America Sales Director for Catalonia Hotels & Resorts. “We wanted the agents in attendance to know how much we appreciate them taking the time to attend and learn about our Caribbean products, so we hope this small gesture is a show of our appreciation.”

“We recognize that in today’s economy and with high gas prices, there is an expense to attend events,” says Bradley Dean, Oakville Toronto Partner, Granite Productions. “We’re very grateful to Catalonia Hotels & Resorts who also recognizes this and was able to provide this token of appreciation to our agents who support us.  As always, it is free to attend our Expos and there is free parking at every one.”
