As part of the voting process, retail professionals will have their names automatically entered into a draw to win a trip to Toronto to attend the Awards Gala at Hotel X in Toronto on November 13th, in person. Fourteen lucky travel advisors will be flown round-trip to Toronto from the airport closest to their home, on flights operated by Porter Airlines. The prize includes one night’s accommodations in Toronto, round-trip transfers to the venue courtesy of Park N’ Fly, VIP seating with fellow winners in the “Porter Zone,” gourmet dinner with wine, and of course, watch Jim Cuddy perform live.

This is BIG! When you complete your vote, you will receive a FREE e-SIM card for personal use, courtesy of Travel Market Report Canada powered by Hubby, a Dutch-based e-SIM provider. Each voter will receive access to Hubby eSIM’s new Agent Platform, designed specifically for Travel Market Report Canada.

Within 24 hours of submitting your votes, you will receive a one-time registration link. Registering takes less than a minute. After your agency is verified, you’ll receive your 3GB personal e-SIM card with internet anywhere in the world! You’ll also enjoy a 40% discount on all future in-app data purchases for this personal eSIM. This is only available to retail travel professionals.

In addition, your account will include 100 free 1GB eSIMs to share with your customers as a thank-you for booking with you. If customers decide to buy more data after that 1GB, you’ll earn 20% commission, automatically credited to your account.

A special thank you to our sponsors. This wouldn’t have been possible without them, and it truly demonstrates their commitment to travel advisors across the country.
