As quickly as it began, it came to an end. Personal Travel Managers (PTMs) wrapped up their annual conference in Perth with a special Gala Night celebration with supplier friends.

Top Travel Advisors within TravelManagers were celebrated in style, after Executive General Manager Michael Gazal congratulated the group on their big win at the NTIAs last month.

Rachael Portelli took home the Choice Award.

“We really do believe that we lead, not follow. We believe in our network as an extended family,” he said.

“For us to win is a big deal. Plus we had two PTMs in the ‘Best Mobile Travel Advisor’ category. Two out of five.”
