I still can't believe I won this award. I want to thank all my Carnival clients for their help!!
Dear Travel Professional,
We are always looking for ways to share travel agent success stories here at Carnival - they serve as an inspiration and reminder of why the line of work we're in is so special. This is why we feature our "Travel Professional of the Month" column in Onboard with Carnival - and you all seem to agree, as it's one of the most popular sections.
It's with this same spirit in mind that we introduce our newly created "Excellence Awards," which honor 15 top travel agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Agencies were selected by our sales team for their innovative marketing techniques, brand advocacy and sales success strategies. The "Excellence Awards" celebrate the many success stories we hear of travel agencies that are building incredible business practices through new and innovative methods. Rather than solely reward sales results, we wanted to highlight agencies who are showing growth through unique success strategies, as well.
During the selection process, my sales leadership colleagues and I evaluated submissions from across the U.S. and Canada shared from each of our business development managers to select 15 "Excellence Awards" recipients based on the nominees' strengths in each category. Winners will attend an "Excellence Awards" celebration in Miami on October 2, 2014. Attending travel agency representatives will receive complimentary airfare to Miami for the event, hotel accommodations, a meet and greet with top Carnival executives and a gala awards reception.

Buffy's Travel, Duarte, CA
Crown's Adventures at Sea, Metairie, LA

Warm regards,
