Granite Travel Trade Expos has announced many of of its exhibitors from last year’s series of shows are returning as well as the appointment of industry veteran Sal Buccellato as their Social Media Ambassador.
Bahia Principe Hotels and Resorts is returning as Hotel Sponsor and the St. Kitts Tourism Authority is once again a Destination Sponsor for the Ontario shows.
Just a few of the suppliers joining St. Kitts and Bahia Principe in 2024 are Oasis Hotels, WestJet Vacations, Majestic Resorts, Expedia Tapp, Catalonia Hotels and Resorts, Princess Hotels and Resorts, Blue Diamond Resorts, Iberostar Beachfront Resorts, Princess Hotels & Resorts Jamaica and the Cuba Tourist Board
“We’re thrilled to have so many of last year’s exhibitors return again for 2024 and welcome many new suppliers,” said Bradley Dean, Oakville Toronto Partner, Granite Productions. “It’s a vote of confidence for the Expos in that they saw an excellent ROI by participating and are looking forward to connecting with even more agents in the smaller markets they don’t typically have an opportunity to.”
“I won’t lie - retirement didn’t sit very well with me, I missed our industry too much, so I was thrilled to be asked to participate,” said Buccellato. “Last year’s Expos felt more like a family reunion to me, it was incredible. Just to catch up with agents who I’ve had a good rapport with for the past 35 years meant so much to me on a personal level and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone again this year."
