Transat decided to take things a step further as it builds on the success of its Rookie Camp over the past two years, with the launch of a new initiative dedicated entirely to developing\u00a0expertise\u00a0in the groups segment.<\/p>\n

The result was the creation of the first Transat Group Camp, held from June 12 to 19 at Dreams Puerto Morelos Resort & Spa in Canc\u00fan, Mexico.<\/p>\n

Over 80 travel advisors specializing in group travel took part in this immersive experience, designed to help them enhance their knowledge, connect with industry experts, and gain firsthand insight into Transat\u2019s group travel products and those of its valued partners.<\/p>\n

During the week, participants\u00a0benefited\u00a0from a comprehensive program that combined training, networking, and on-site product discovery. More than 11 hours of specialized group travel training were delivered by Transat and its hotel partners. Advisors also\u00a0participated\u00a0in three one-on-one meeting sessions with suppliers of their choice, as well as three half-day hotel site inspections, visiting more than 12 resorts throughout the region, from Costa Mujeres to Puerto Aventuras.<\/p>\n

The event also featured six exclusive themed activities\u00a0showcasing\u00a0various business opportunities in the group travel market. Participants could also choose between two immersive excursions: exploring Tulum or enjoying a catamaran excursion to Isla Mujeres, courtesy of\u00a0Trafictours.<\/p>\n

The Group Camp was made possible thanks to the participation of leading hotel partners, including Hyatt Inclusive Collection, Bahia Principe, Palladium, Ocean by H10 Hotels, Meli\u00e1 Hotels International, Barcel\u00f3 Hotel Group, Majestic Resorts, Catalonia Hotels & Resorts, Sandos Hotels & Resorts, and Viva Resorts by Wyndham.<\/p>\n
