KHM Travel Group’s Destination Success 2026 event turned up the volume on its “Choose Your Playlist” theme, bringing a record-number of attendees a mix of education, entertainment, and insights into what’s next.
Destination Success 2026 provided 383 travel agents the flexibility to customize their experience with sessions focused on supplier updates, social media, accessible travel, groups, and AI. Advisors who couldn’t attend in person had the opportunity to participate virtually.
The celebration continued Wednesday evening with a Welcome Party at House of Blues Cleveland, sponsored by AIC Hotel Group.
Throughout the event, our Executive Team shared a look into the future of KHM Travel Group. Among the highlights are an enhanced Coaching Program, offering more coaches and an expanded selection of one-on-one coaching topics. We also recently introduced a new partner membership, allowing two travel agents to operate under the same agency brand while each having access to education, support, events, and booking credentials. Additional enhancements to our Agency Program are also on the horizon, creating new opportunities for agency owners to grow and scale their businesses.
“Our goal has always been to provide travel agents with the best support and supplier connections,” said Geoff Cox, who will step into the role of President in December. “Destination Success offers an opportunity to highlight our People First and Community Core Values, while also sharing our vision for what’s next. Every resource we introduce is designed to help our agents develop more profitable businesses and better serve their clients.”
The event also reflected KHM Travel Group’s ongoing commitment to giving back through KHM Cares. Attendees supported Providence House Cleveland by participating in a blanket-tying service project outside the trade show, helping provide comfort to families in crisis. We also exceeded our fundraising goal, thanks to the generous donations of our agents and supplier partners.
Additional wellness initiatives, including a gratitude board and hydration challenge, encouraged attendees to remember to prioritize well-being during the busy week.
First launched in 2012, Destination Success has grown into one of KHM Travel Group’s biggest educational events. Each year, the event reflects our ongoing commitment to evolving alongside the travel industry while providing agents the knowledge to build stronger businesses.
Thank you to our featured speakers: Owen Van Syckle for his session: You Can’t Sell the Way You Used To: 3 Shifts Travel Advisors Must Make to Stay on Repeat and Wanda Thomas for her session: Rock Your Business with AI.
Finally, many thanks to our amazing supplier partners, who gave our agents firsthand access to product knowledge and sales strategies.
We hope to see you again next year!
