The virtual platform is part of TravelPulse Canada's ongoing overall commitment to stay connected with agents across the country. TravelPulse Canada’s software allows for the industry to connect with travel agents across the country, similar to what they normally would’ve done traditionally. It’s an innovative way to continue to educate agents and continue to build on their relationships when in-person isn’t an option.
"I’ve been in the travel business for 30 years in Canada. I’ve never seen anything like this, ever," explained John Kirk Travel Pulse Canada President "Our virtual platform has irrevocably changed the face of our business. When we come through the current crisis, a virtual component will likely be a major component to all events with some level of consistency. The fact ACV is rolling out a virtual event is a testament to their ongoing commitment to our industry.
