Wow. What a night. What an event to welcome back our industry.
Last night we held our 2022 Readers’ Choice Awards where the who’s who of travel gathered – finally – to reconnect and celebrate all that is us. Alan Frew of Glass Tiger, played hits we all know and love, the Food Dudes catered our meals and all 300 of us had a blast in downtown Toronto at SteamWhistle Brewery.
