Networking, inspiring and doing business are key during this one day all inclusive event that ends with a networking walking diner. It’s the perfect opportunity to meet this many (potential) partners in one day.
Share experiences, provide opportunities to deepen knowledge and provide a platform for networking. These are some of the activities of the new Reis Management Club (translated: Travel Management Club). For over 30 years Reis Management Club has been the podium for travel professionals to meet and exchange knowledge and experiences, as powered by TravMagazine all those years.

For many years the Election of the Travel Agency of the Year is a recognized election to the very best travel agencies with a provincial or even a national title. The election consists of several rounds, in which the travel agency will be pushed to look critical to the management.
After these rounds the provincial winners will be announced. The provincial winners will battle for the esteemed national title. The winner will be revealed at a festival gala and crowned as the best travel agency of the Netherlands.
The platform for every independent travel agent in the Netherlands. A Battle will take place for the title of the best independent travel agent, but also endless creative possibilities to lift your company up to a higher level.
Along with the election of the best independent travel agent, there will also be valuable meetings and events on the program where subjects such as:
time management, pricing, presentation techniques, juridical aspects and social media will all be explored. One of the highly recommended meetings is the independent travel agent Holland Start symposium that will take place at the ‘Vakantiebeurs’.
