01 AUG 2018: Global luxury travel agency network Virtuoso announced that Tim Morgan has been appointed as its new director of Business Strategy for Canada. As part of Virtuoso’s Global Member Partnerships team, Morgan will assist Virtuoso in continuing its development of the luxury leisure travel market in Canada.

Morgan, who most recently served as vice president at Virtuoso member agency Travel Professionals International (TPI) for 13 years, brings his talents to Virtuoso’s existing team for Canada. He will join Joelle Goldman, director, US and Canada, Global Member Partnerships, and Cindy Nelson, regional director, who will continue to oversee travel agency relationships.

“Tim’s extensive travel agency knowledge and industry connections make him well suited to help connect Virtuoso’s global vision with the specific needs for the Canadian market,” said David Kolner, senior vice president of Global Member Partnerships for Virtuoso.

“With Tim’s help, we look forward to expanding our presence in Canada and serving our existing travel agency members even better.”

“Through my time as a Virtuoso member, I came to know both the organization and the global network it has built, and became a fan,” Morgan stated.

“Technology has always been a key interest, and it led me to serve as chair of Virtuoso’s Technology Committee. Now I look forward to helping Virtuoso build a stronger presence in Canada and maximize its potential.”

Morgan, who will office from Toronto, Ontario, assumed his role with Virtuoso on July 31, 2018. His first order of business will be attending the organization’s largest event of the year, Virtuoso Travel Week, taking place August 11-17 at Bellagio Resort & Casino, ARIA Resort & Casino and Vdara Hotel & Spa in Las Vegas.
