WestJet Celebrates Travel Agents
WestJet is celebrating Travel Agent Day as part of its annual TA Appreciation month-long celebration, a campaign created by the airline to recognize and thank its valued agent partners for their support.
“We again thank our travel agent partners for their incredible help and support of WestJet over the past 20 years. You have been pivotal in the success of our airline,” said Bob Cummings, WestJet executive vice-president, Commercial. “We pride ourselves on our great working relationships with our TAs and we continue to invest in the travel trade industry to ensure we are always easy to do business with. As we move forward in 2016, we continue to focus on initiatives to allow our travel agency partners to bring value to clients, guests and our shareholders alike.”
WestJet’s TA Appreciation month celebrations include the return of its Hooray for TAs contest, taking place from May 2-31. Eligible agents can submit their WestJet flight and WestJet Vacations bookings or correctly answer WestJet-themed trivia questions for a chance to win one of 30 prizes. Prizes include 10 WestJet Vacations packages and 20 round-trip airfares for two. Plus, fare bookings or bookings that include advance seat selection will provide agents with an even greater chance to win. Agents are encouraged to visit http://www.westjetagentcontests.com for full contest details and registration.
WestJet’s TA Appreciation month will also be complimented by a series of initiatives that will be rolled out throughout the month. These initiatives demonstrate the airline’s commitment to travel agents and to becoming easier to do business with. They include a new travel agent resource site, http://www.westjettravelagents.com, the 2016-2017 new WestJet Vacations brochure, and the second annual Travel Trade Expos, http://www.westjettraveltradeexpos.com, running throughout the month of May across Canada.
