Niche Travel Group honoured at Affluent Traveller Collection Symposium

Nova Scotia-based Niche Travel Group was recognized for its outstanding sales achievements at The Affluent Traveller Collection’s (ATC’s) annual Symposium at Kimpton EPIC Miami last month. 

Agency owner Faith Sproule was on hand at ATC’s gala dinner to accept the Chairman’s Award, which also went to two U.S.-based travel agencies, Boscov’s Travel and Lisell Travel.

“These agencies and partners set a shining example for all of us,” said Nicole Mazza, chief marketing officer for The Affluent Traveler Collection, in a statement. “At a time when demand for luxury travel is skyrocketing, these companies are leading the way in innovative offerings, customer service and creative marketing. They truly listen to and understand the desires of our affluent advisors and clients and excel at making those wishes a reality.”
