Advisors Take Home “Simply the Best” Honours with ACV@Home
by Marsha Mowers
It was an exciting night on the virtual red carpet Wednesday as ACV@Home celebrated its top producing advisors from across the country at its Simply the Best Awards. It was also a record-breaking night as more than 600 advisors from across the country took part.
Hosted by ACV’s General Manager of Sales Marigold Frontuna, and Key Account Managers Andrea Arkell and Tina Kensett, the event honoured advisors from TravelOnly, Trevello Travel Group, Centre Holidays, Fareconnect, Envoyage, Go Travel, Go With Hippo, Nexion, Onvigo, The Travel Agent Next Door, TierOne Travel and Transat@home.
“We are all thankful for your support. 50 years in business? We would not be here without you,” ACV Vice President, Nino Montagnese told the group. “That is the honest-to-god truth. The backbone of our company is travel consultants. We appreciate everything you do.”
Erminia Gallina, ACV’s Director of Sales also joined in, giving away an additional two trips to the upcoming ACV Sandals FAM happening August 17-21 at Sandals South Coast.
Air Canada Vacations also reminded advisors of its 50th anniversary “Celebration Under the Sun” event in Cancun for 400 partners, set for November 4-7 in Cancun, Mexico.
The top ten winners Wednesday night each received an all-expenses-paid trip on the FAM to Sandals, South Coast in Jamaica this August, courtesy of Donné Nixon from Unique Vacations Canada Inc. who also joined in the virtual celebration. Sandals is covering the accommodations for 30 advisors who only need to cover their airfare.
