Attendance at PAX Virtual Travel Show beyond expectations

More than 1,000 travel professionals from across the country have already signed up to attend the PAX Virtual Travel Show, Canada’s first ever virtual exhibition for the travel trade.

The free, three-day event runs Oct. 14 to 16 and will allow attendees, whether they are full-time, part-time or home-based, to access the show at their own pace, on their own schedule.

Designed with both agents and suppliers in mind, the show allows guests to discover the latest products, chat in real time with exhibitors, download digital documents like brochures and promotional pieces – even attend webinars and online presentations.

"At Logimonde Media, we are always pushing the boundaries of the travel industry, and hosting a virtual travel show is just one more example," says Marie-Klaude Gagnon, president and CEO of Logimonde Media. "This is the first time travel professionals from across Canada – no matter how remote – will be able to connect with each other in a trade show format, with no limitations due to distance or time zones; the virtual show is taking away those boundaries and opening up new opportunities for suppliers and travel agents alike."

"The response from exhibitors and attendees has been overwhelmingly positive," adds Wazna Azem, manager of the PAX Virtual Travel Show. "The Canadian travel industry clearly recognizes the benefit of this innovative event, and we are looking forward to a successful three days."

Travel agents who register before 5 p.m. on Sept. 18 and visit the show on all three days will also be entered in a draw to win an Apple Watch. The draw will be held Oct. 23 and the winner will be announced in PAXnouvelles.com, PAXnews.com and PAXnewsWest.com on Oct. 27.
