The Transat Distribution Canada (TDC) annual meeting is in full swing at the Breathless Riviera Cancun which the company says is an “essential means of ensuring its mission to support its members in their business objectives”. The gathering offers a mix of prestigious speakers who will explain the impact of global economic activity on the travel industry, current and future trends in Canadians’ travel intentions, operational efficiency in the travel industry’s recovery, and more.
Karine Gagnon, General Manager of Transat Distribution Canada, and Joseph Adamo, President of Transat Distribution Canada and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer of Transat, set the tone for the event on Sunday morning, April 16.

Gagnon highlighted that in an ever-changing travel industry, where everything is moving even faster than before, having the support of a solid franchisor and the strength of being part of the Transat family are valuable assets for our owners.
“These few days will be a reflection of who we are at TDC, and more importantly, what we offer our members: an opportunity for professional development, networking and sharing best practices with business owners from across Canada, with TDC’s management team, and with speakers who are experts in their fields. Of course, this type of meeting is unthinkable without the presence of our preferred partners, of which there are some 40 this week. This opportunity for our members to connect with these key players in the industry, to better serve their clients afterward, is essential”.
Gagnon says The TDC network means collaboration and solid partnerships with many preferred partners.
“The relationship of trust that we have with many of our preferred partners allows TDC to ensure its strong position in the Canadian market,” says Gagnon. “In this type of event, their participation in large numbers is essential, because it is one of the important elements that our members come to look for. And thanks to the pop-up meeting formula that we developed, all the partners and owners present at the event were able to meet in small groups to discuss new products and, above all, their mutual realities.”
Joseph Adamo provided an update on Transat’s strategic priorities, highlighting the unique relationship between TDC and Transat. He focused on the evolution of Air Transat’s fleet and air network, the impact of the Transat brand in the market, and the impact it has on the travel agency network, as well as the importance of customer loyalty in today’s competitive world.
The day ended with a special evening organized by Transat, a colorful event at the Xcaret Arte Hotel. The TDC National Leadership Conference will be in full swing until April 20.
