Held in partnership with Air Canada, the competition invited CLIA-accredited cruise specialists to complete the Vancouver Specialist Program and Air Canada Global Sales University.
First prize was the chance to win a journey that captures the best of Vancouver’s (pictured above) urban energy and natural beauty.
Lauren is now set to discover a walkable city that offers rainforest trails, Indigenous art and MICHELIN-recognised cuisine.
“Winning the major prize from Destination Vancouver and Air Canada is an incredible honour and I’m truly grateful for this opportunity. I deeply appreciate the recognition and this prize will be a huge benefit for my business,” said Lauren (pictured below left with Janis McDonald, Air Canada).
“The Destination Vancouver training was extremely beneficial – it helped me better understand the city’s diverse neighbourhoods and how to match each area to my clients’ unique needs.
“Over the years, my knowledge of Air Canada has grown through regularly selling their services, but completing the Air Canada University training was a fantastic refresher that reinforced my expertise and introduced some valuable updates.
“With this new knowledge and the generous support of Destination Vancouver and Air Canada, I’m more confident than ever in selling Vancouver as a world-class destination.”

- Round-trip flights from Australia to Vancouver with Air Canada
- Two nights at the Fairmont Waterfront, set along the harbour with mountain views
- Two nights at the Westin Bayshore, where the seawall and Stanley Park are just steps away
