TTC Tour Brands celebrates Ken Nickerson’s retirement, welcomes Michele Kempf as sales mgr.

TTC Tour Brands has made changes to their sales team in Canada with the hiring of Michele Kempf as sales manager representing Atlantic Canada and Quebec. Kempf joins the team following the recent retirement of Ken Nickerson from his sales manager role after 16 years with The Travel Corporation. 

Based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Michele brings over seven years of experience in the tourism industry with a strong background in sales, operations and client relationship management. Fluent in English, French and German, 

she is passionate about connecting with travel advisors and creating meaningful partnerships. She is especially excited to work closely with travel partners across the Maritimes and Quebec and support the region she calls home.

"I'm looking forward to building strong and genuine relationships with travel advisors across Atlantic Canada and Quebec,” said Kempf in a press release. “As I grow into this role, I’m committed to supporting the region and being a trusted resource for advisors.”

Kempf replaces Nickerson as sales manager for Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, and Quebec. 

Following an incredible 16-year career as a sales manager for Trafalgar and TTC Tour Brands, Nickerson retired from The Travel Corporation on June 30.  

"Nickerson has built strong, meaningful relationships across Atlantic Canada, consistently being voted “Favourite Sales Manager” by Canadian travel agents," said the company. "Advisors have spoken of developing a close friendship with Nickerson over the years and he will be missed across the industry. The Travel Corporation is grateful for his years of dedication to the role." 

Kempf joins a dedicated group of TTC Tour Brands Sales Managers in Canada, including:

• Austin Fraser – Greater Toronto Area and Eastern Ontario
• Brenda Bradley – North and Southwestern Ontario
• Jodine Clement – Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba
• Paula Rizos – British Columbia and Yukon
