Visit Seattle has announced the three Canadian travel advisors who have won a spot an upcoming FAM trip to the Emerald City in October. By registering and completing the new Seattle specialist program by the July 1 deadline, all “Seattle Certified” agents were entered into a draw to win one of three spots.
The winners were Christine Moore of Voyages AquaTerra; Lydia Della Rocca, Fare Connect Travel; and Melissa Valentine, AMA Travel.
“We are thrilled with the results, which have truly exceeded our expectations, amidst the state of current events,” said Denise Graham, account associate at Canuckiwi Ltd., representatives for Visit Seattle in Canada.
“Our Seattle specialists are now equipped with the tools and resources needed to curate unforgettable experiences for their clients as enquiries come in” she added, noting that despite the conclusion of the contest, Graham reminded, “it’s never too late” to enroll in the program.
