January 2024
Dear Ana,
Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely holiday with your loved ones, and on behalf of the Emerging Destinations team, we wish you health and happiness in 2024!
Our big news to start the year is a new team member — Paula Newton in California — who joins Emerging Destinations with a wealth of knowledge from her long and varied experience in the travel industry.
More breaking news: We're bringing the Guyana Tourism Authority back to the Emerging Destinations portfolio. Remember those amazing online training courses we were doing in 2019? Well, be prepared for more cool webinars on Guyana later this year.
Because it looks like 2024 will be about big events and great news, it’s our pleasure to announce that the Emerging Destinations On Tour Roadshow is also back this year. WOOHOO!
During the first week of March, we’ll be covering the West Coast (San Diego, Orange County & LA) before moving over to the East Coast (Philadelphia, New York & Boston). We already have 10 clients confirmed for the tour (so we’re feeling like rock stars) and we very much look forward to meeting you in person if you're in any of those areas. Please find more info below and make sure to mark your calendar!
Our clients in the Americas portfolio have some unbeatable packages & promos at the present time. So please consider the specials below for anyone with their heart set on South or Central America this year.
Best regards,
Ana, Jane & Jenna
