Avalon Waterways is holding its second ACTA River Cruise Summit this week, this time sailing on the iconic Danube. There are over 100 travel advisors from across Canada on the journey, 22 of them affiliates of the Travel Agent Next Door.
The custom, travel advisor-only cruise set sail in Budapest. Throughout the 8-day “Danube Dreams” itinerary, advisors can follow their passions on “Classic,” “Discovery” and “Active” Avalon Choice excursions, while also taking part in onboard workshops, special events and business opportunities before disembarking in Vilshofen, Germany.
Participants also have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with representatives from Manulife and Air Canada.
“We are absolutely so excited and proud so see the investment and engagement we have seen from our agent partners,” said Denise Harper, Senior Director, Business Development at Globus Family of Brands.
“They have invested in their future and their education by supporting this event and we are incredibly grateful. TTAND has been and continues to be an integral part of our success and we value each and every one of the advisors and their ongoing support of the Globus Family of Brands.”
