“We had a wonderful time at the Frontliners “Thrive” Conference on the weekend and won a bevy of awards!” – Kay Rogers

The annual First Travel Group Frontliners Conference is always a highlight on our calendar. It’s a great opportunity to not only get out of the office as a team but also mix and mingle with our fellow travel professionals plus learn what’s coming up in our industry.

Kay explains further, “This was the first time we have met as a group since pre-covid so the event included all our travel suppliers and First Travel Group consultants throughout the country.”

“It was a fabulous opportunity to catch up with everyone, share learnings, new ideas and developments and celebrate the milestones!”

Thrive was the theme for this year’s conference and our You Travel Bethlehem team has shown we certainly are thriving as the recipients of seven awards this year including the prestigious FTG Supreme Thrive Awards for Growth Mindset and Values & Culture.
