January 2022 BCATW Buzz

Happy New Year!

Our goal at BCATW this year is to come back smarter!

With this in mind, we are continuing with our online education webinars. Join us on Tuesday January 25th for our session on  “Pitching Travel Editors” were I will share strategies in reaching out to print and online editors. My workshop will include how to how to search for regional and national publications, find your travel story angle and craft your pitch letters.

Since the beginning of mankind, many of us are natural explorers with a desire to learn and experience new cultures. The travel industry is adapting and we are going to have to learn to live with COVID this year. So I have begun planning regional trips this spring to reconnecting with fellow colleagues and industry representatives. More details to follow.

BCATW members can register for “Pitching Travel Editors” on Tuesday January 25 at 7 pm by emailing me C$10. Non-members register at Meet-up.

Stay safe,

Edward Quan

Real reviews from Bestway travellers

As the year closes, Bestway is looking back on accolades from past travellers. Here is one of our favourites:

“I always know Bestway will do the best for our tours.  From the beginning, our working relationship has been like a true partnership.  From getting the best guides to personal local service, they make me feel that someone has my back.  India and Egypt are not easy places to travel to.  In Egypt, we had a guide who not only stayed with us the whole time, 24/7, but joined us for meals and took us in our down time, if we wanted to, to local markets etc.  I am sure she was exhausted at the end, but it showed her commitment to making our trip an unforgettable experience,” says Shammi Rathwell of BC, Canada
