Pack your bags – the KHM Travel blog is headed to Cancun!
Over the next few days, I’ll be posting updates here and on social media at The Mark Travel Corporation’s 2015 Summit. KHM Travel Group has more than 80 travel agents and staff attending the Summit, and we are ready to learn!
Our classroom is the Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, this year’s host for the Summit.
The event offers training tracks for agents, owners, and managers. In addition to destination and supplier spotlights, there are sessions on leadership, brand-building, travel technology, and more.
In fact, more than 150 suppliers will be on hand during the supplier showcases and breakout sessions.
The Summit is designed to help fuel travel agents’ professional and personal growth.
“If there’s something that agents usually need more of, it’s more training on how to actually run their businesses,” says Rick Zimmerman, President/CEO of KHM Travel Group. “Mark Travel has developed this great mix of destination and business trainings, so it’s really beneficial for agents.”
In addition to being a premiere educational event, there are also site inspections, daily wellness activities and several unforgettable off-site events.
For instance, on Sunday night, we’ll be shuttled over to Xoximilco, one of Cancun’s largest and liveliest entertainment and dinner complexes.
This is the second Summit put on by The Mark Travel Corporation, one of the world’s leading tour operators. Their flagship brand, Funjet Vacations, is one of KHM Travel Group’s top suppliers.
For me, this trip represents a number of firsts: my first big travel industry event, my first time staying at an all-inclusive, and my first time to Mexico. I’m looking forward to experiencing Cancun, meeting so many of our agents, and soaking up as much travel knowledge as possible!
The rest of the KHM Travel Group Summit crew includes Rick Zimmerman, National Training Director Marie Smith and Training Assistant Brigett Gerber.
We are extra excited for this event, because KHM Travel Group will have the largest representation of agents down in Cancun. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at The Summit, and demonstrating why #KHMRocks!
