Another sold-out, biggest-ever edition of TMP Toronto wrapped up yesterday, sending over 600 travel advisors home with new insights and inspiration to continue building their businesses.

The day began with a promotion for TMR's charity of choice Give A Mile. This was followed by a blue-chip panel of consortia leaders hosted by TMR Canada's John Kirk, taking on hot-topic issues and giving suppliers a wish list on behalf of advisors. A very busy and upbeat trade show was next, along with another tasty lunch and more high-value breakout and general sessions.

The 12th-edition of Travel Market Place Toronto was one to remember! See you all next year.
