Register to attend Canada Xpo on June 21-22

Fast-track your Canada knowledge and maximise your sales opportunities by attending Canada Xpo on June 21-22.

The interactive virtual event from Destination Canada is open to both qualified and non-qualified Canada Specialist agents and is designed to provide training on selling the destination. Attending agents can expect brand new training content and the chance to win prizes including flights to Canada. Canada Xpo builds on the success of the 2021 event and is back better than ever, running over two days to give agents more time to log in at their convenience.

The host platform has also been updated, meaning agents can have video meetings with every single exhibitor representing Canada.

Can’t make the date? Registered agents who are unable to attend on the day will be able to review the content up to 30 days after the official live stream date.

“We are excited to be building on the success of the 2021 event to bring British travel agents new Canada training in this virtual format,” said Adam Hanmer, travel trade manager at Destination Canada UK.

“We have some great new inspiring video content to showcase and the chance to open a video chat and speak directly with our Canadian partners. The more you engage with the platform the more chances of winning prizes.”

Agents can register for Xpo Canada at canadaspecialistxpo.com.

Tap the App to get access to Canada training

The Canada Specialist Programme (CSP) is now live on mobile via an app, making it easier than ever for travel agents to learn and train. The CSP programme by Destination Canada was launched last autumn and draws on the tourist board’s extensive experience providing agent training.

Whether you want to access training options on your morning commute, while having your coffee or during dedicated time in the evening, the CSP app enables you to make your way through the modules at a time that is convenient for you. Your Canada qualification is truly at your fingertips.

“In the first four months since the launch we have already had around 500 UK travel agents sign up to the new CSP programme,” Hanmer said.

“Obviously we are keen for even more agents to benefit from it and we have worked hard to make it super accessible and getting the app up and running forms part of ensuring accessibility.

“Agents who sign up will have the opportunity to be invited onto fams to Canada, so they can experience it for themselves and sell it with great confidence. We’ve had great feedback on the launch roll out and we feel sure the app will mark our training out as amongst the most agent accessible.”
