Air Canada Vacations recently launched its new Prestige Partner program, and The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) is thrilled to be among the inaugural honourees.
The program is an annual recognition initiative designed to celebrate travel partners who “demonstrate outstanding performance, loyalty, engagement and commitment” to the Air Canada Vacations brand.
“We really appreciate this recognition by Air Canada Vacations on behalf of all TTAND agent partners,” said Flemming Friisdahl, Founder of TTAND. “Achieving the Trailblazer designation is a testament to their exceptional performance, loyalty, and commitment to our shared success.”
According to Air Canada Vacations, each year partners are evaluated based on criteria based on performance, engagement and partnership. Qualifying partners can earn one of three distinctions: Trailblazer—the highest category, Navigator, or Explorer.
"We are incredibly proud to present this recognition to The Travel Agent Next Door and their Agent Partners,” says Elish Tait, Manager, National Accounts, Air Canada Vacations. “Their dedication to our partnership, commitment to excellence, and ongoing support of Air Canada Vacations have made them a valued and trusted partner.”
Tait says as one of only a select group of partners to achieve the highest level within the Prestige Partner Program, this reward is a “true testament” to TTAND’s “exceptional performance, loyalty, and unwavering commitment” to continued success.
“We are honored to celebrate this achievement and the strong relationship we have built together, and we look forward to many more years of success as partners," she says.
