Poon Tip Named Keynote Speaker at TPI Conference

Travel Professionals International (TPI) reports that Bruce Poon Tip, founder of G Adventures, will be the keynote speaker at the 2015 TPI Annual Conference, taking place at the Melia Marina Varadero, Cuba, Nov. 16-19.

“It’s our great honour to have Bruce join us for our annual conference,” said TPI president Morris Chia. “Bruce has been a leading entrepreneur in the international travel marketplace for many years and as the owner of a fellow proudly Canadian company it’s my distinct pleasure to have him share his vast experience in business and social consciousness with our network of independent owners.”

More than 200 TPI travel advisors, guests, staff and travel partners will gather in Cuba for the 2015 conference which is set to include site inspections, networking opportunities, training workshops, excursions, and more.

“I’m really looking forward to sharing with TPI the importance of social innovation and understanding how the sharing economy is revolutionizing our industry and customers,” said Poon Tip. “TPI is a great example of how the travel industry must evolve from being an industry of agents to supplying a valued service as travel professionals.”
