Canadian travel industry members love a good party, and that’s exactly what they’ll get at the 1st-Annual Canadian Travel Awards presented by Travel Market Report Canada.
Thursday, November 13 is the date of the inaugural 2025 event at Hotel X Toronto, one of the city’s hottest venues.
“This is an industry that celebrates like no other, and this is an industry worth celebrating,” says Travel Market Report Canada Executive Director and Editor-in-Chief John Kirk.
“The Canadian Travel Awards will be chosen by thousands of travel advisors across the country, casting their votes for Canada’s most engaged and supportive travel suppliers, including airlines, tourist boards, travel insurance companies, hotel chains, tour operators and more,” Kirk added.
“We’ll add to the excitement with great food and drink, fun activities and some iconic Canadian entertainment that will be announced in the weeks to come. The industry knows the Canadian Travel Market Report team well – Marsha, Catherine, Bruce and myself — and they know we can throw a party like no other in the business. This will be a night not to be missed, at one of Toronto’s most elegant venues.”
