Montreal, June 23, 2015 — Agents know best when it comes to travel so it should come as no surprise that they voted Transat #1 in three Agents’ Choice Awards categories this year. Transat won best Tour Operator for Transat Holidays, best Charter Airline for Air Transat and best Travel Supplier Web Site (B2B).
“We are sincerely touched by agents’ support. Everything we do is a team effort and for us this win is really about celebrating success and partnership at all levels,” says Denise Heffron, Vice- President, National Sales & Commercial of Transat Tours Canada.
In addition to its first-place wins, Transat was also named the third most Sustainable Travel Company by agents. This is the eight year in a row that Air Transat has been named best charter airline and the second that Transat won for best tour operator.
To celebrate, travel agents who make bookings with Transat between today and July 17 will automatically be entered to win one of ten $500 Bonbon prizes. This promotion applies to new flight, package, cruise or tour bookings for both Europe and the South.
The 16th annual Agents’ Choice Awards, conducted by Canadian Travel Press, Travel Courier, and TravelPress.com, gives agents across the country the chance to vote for their favourite travel companies in 28 distinct categories. The voting period was open between January 26 and April 15, 2015.
