“We are thrilled that business continues to grow to unprecedented levels,” says Stephen Smith, Senior Vice-President, Leisure Strategy and Marketing for Direct Travel, announcing details for the company’s first leisure conference which will bring together their advisors and strategic partners from across North America.
"This is such a great opportunity for our advisors to network with our top partners, learn first-hand of their new offerings and new strategies to increase sales and better service our mutual clients,” said Gerard Bellino, Direct Travel’s EVP Leisure.
Scheduled face-to-face meetings will ensure advisors are able to spend valuable time with strategic partners and vice versa.

“Direct Access: Gaining Altitude is less than a month away and the excitement is definitely building.”
