GTM Flagship officially starts tomorrow and runs Oct 29-30th
It was supposed to be happening in Florida but will instead be happening virtually this year.
WHAT IS GTM?
“Global Travel Marketplace is an elite appointment-only event that connects top-producing travel advisors with global travel suppliers. GTM provides a platform for attendees to enhance product knowledge, strengthen supplier partnerships and build new ones, and learn from the success of their peers.”
There will be over 60 suppliers from throughout the travel industry and I will be able to meet with over 40 of them over the next 2 days while networking with other top advisors in the travel industry.
Today before the official kick off, there was a webinar from The Islands of Hawai’i who discussed Covid-19 precautions and travel guidelines.

Which Hawaii Island should I visit?
Representatives from the 6 main islands also discussed the unique features and highlights of each island
Kauai also known as “the Garden Island” is lush, and serene and known for it’s dramatic scenery.
O’ahu “The Heart of Hawai’i” is Energizing. A perfect blend of Town and Country with the capital Honolulu and the home of Waikiki and Pearl Harbor. Surfers will want to check out the beaches of the North Shore.
One of the highlights on Maui “The Valley Isle” is driving up to the top of Haleakala to witness a magnificent sunrise or sunset.
Lanai is “luxurious and rugged” while Molokai “remains true to its island roots”
The Island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest island in the chain. The one word to sum this island up would be “Inspiring”. This is where you can visit Hawaii Volcanoes National Park and is also the home of the world’s most famous ironman triathlon race. Travelers to this island may wish to split up there stay between Kona or Kohala and Hilo.
While some activities are currently open not all are operating yet.
