Pursers Travel Group (PTG) recently held its annual conference at Dusty Hill Vineyard and Conference Centre, themed ‘Christmas in July.’
A festive and productive gathering, the event brought together staff from all 13 PTG stores and key partners.
A highlight was the keynote by Candice Harvey, who delivered a presentation titled ‘Reboot, Reset & Refocus’, inspiring attendees with valuable insights.
Key partners at the event included Viking, The Travel Corporation, Intrepid, Tauck, APT, Air Canada, Uniworld, Covermore and Amadeus, with the three-day event featuring activities and sessions to educate, entertain and strengthen team bonds.
Conference highlights included a tour of the local region, a Christmas-themed trivia contest and a festive dinner with an ugly sweater contest.
Supplier partners also shared insights on industry trends and innovative solutions, while teambuilding activities fostered creativity and camaraderie.
PTG says the conference emphasised its commitment to delivering exceptional travel services, innovation, sustainability and customer satisfaction.
“We are thrilled with the success of this year’s conference,” Pursers Travel Group CEO Felicity Dascombe said.
“The ‘Christmas in July’ theme added a unique and enjoyable twist to our event, and the Dusty Hill Vineyard and Conference Centre provided an ideal setting.
“We are grateful to our partners and staff for their participation and contributions, and we look forward to leveraging the insights and connections made during this conference to drive future success.”
