Destination Success 2024 brought together close to 300 travel agents to learn from our supplier partners!

New this year, we added Agent Workshops on Day 1. Agents had the chance to choose four workshops they wanted to attend.

Workshop options included:

• Ask KHM Travel Group – Team Member Panel
• Did You Know You Can Do ____ in myTravelCRM?
• Establishing Your Online Presence
• How to Build a Successful & Engaging Agent Profiler
• Streamlining Your Business with Travefy
• Top 5 Tools You Likely Aren’t Using in VAX VacationAccess

After a huge supplier trade show, agents were treated to KHM Travel Group’s first-ever Food Truck Festival. Here agents sampled fun summer foods, listened to great music, and chatted with fellow attendees.

Day 2 brought the first supplier presentations after a welcome from President and CEO Rick Zimmerman. Supplier sessions were: Carnival Cruise Line, Sandals Resorts, Royal Caribbean, Viking, Princess Cruises, ALG Vacations, Norwegian Cruise Line, Allianz, Delta Vacations, MSC Cruises, The Travel Corporation, and Virgin Voyages. Each supplier took agents on a journey around the world by covering one vacation destination.

On Day 3, we traveled from Spain to Walt Disney World! Azamara, Globus family of brands, Celebrity Cruises, Expedia TAAP, Travel Insured, American Airlines Vacations, AmaWaterways, Disney Destinations, Holland America Line, and Europe Express were all on hand to present about their products.

Although the event was mostly supplier focused, our agents also got stage time. A panel of agents talked about staying organized, client communication, and what they’ve learned through their booking experiences.

It was an honor to have a keynote address from a travel industry maven and Azamara CEO, Dondra Ritzenthaler. Her energy was unmatched as she inspired agents with her own story of how a Lion Mentality helped her rise to the top of the industry. After some tears and many laughs, agents were ready to take on the world with a fresh mindset and renewed sense of confidence.

Our journey around the world concluded on Thursday with information from Universal Parks & Resorts Vacations, Vacation Express, Hilton, Bedsonline, and Avanti.

Thank You for a Great Destination Success 2024!
