Caroline Belgrave named BDM, Western Canada at Travel Leaders Network

Travel Leaders Network is welcoming Caroline Belgrave to the team as a business development manager for Western Canada.

With more than 17 years of experience in travel and hospitality, Belgrave brings extensive industry knowledge to the role that the company says will enhance its operational efficiency and build impactful partnerships.

“Recognized for her innovative approach and outstanding coaching skills, she has a proven track record of empowering travel agencies and professionals to succeed,” said Travel Leaders Network in a press release.

In her new role, Belgrave will bring her expertise to Travel Leaders Network members in Western Canada, offering tailored solutions and innovative strategies to foster success.

Prior to this, she served as a business development manager at Nexion Travel Group and as a senior trainer at Travel Leaders Network, where she created learning resources and top-tier training programs across North America.

Belgrave’s extensive experience in strategic planning, stakeholder engagement, and personalized coaching will be key drivers in boosting membership sales and engagement, the company said.

“We’re thrilled to welcome Caroline in her new role with Travel Leaders,” said Christine James, vice-president Canada at Travel Leaders Network, in a release.

Belgrave will directly report to James who says she is confident that she will bring a fresh approach to all she does and be a tremendous asset to our team.

“We are very fortunate to have this rising star on board with the wealth of industry knowledge she brings to our company from her prior experience with Travel Leaders Network and from within the travel and tourism sector,” James said.

In honour of Sue Urie

"Our members are some of the best in the industry, and it’s truly an honour to follow in Sue Urie’s footsteps,” added Belgrave, referring to Travel Leaders Network’s last Western Canada BDM, who sadly passed away in December.

“I consider Sue to be truly legendary,”stated Belgrave. “At every event we attended in Western Canada, she always made a point of introducing me and ensuring everyone knew they had strong representation in the West. I can still hear her distinctive laugh, and I will miss her greatly. As I move forward in this role, I will carry her spirit and member-focused approach with me.”

“Stepping into this position feels like coming home—it’s that comforting sense of familiarity that makes everything feel right. I’m excited to engage in those first conversations that inspire, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge of Travel Leaders Network programs and products to help our members grow their sales and businesses.”
