Happy Holidays from the JTBNA Team

Dear friends and partners,

 

As we bid farewell to the most difficult year for our industry and for most of us personally, we are thankful for the support that we have had from colleagues, friends and family.

 

With news of a vaccine and the trends of increased bookings, we are cautiously optimistic that our industry will be coming back strong and that 2021 will be a year of regenerative travel. 

 

We want to take this time to wish you good health, happiness and joy in the new year and look forward to building back better and stronger together, more sustainably, more conscientious for our benefit and for the benefit of our children and the future.

 

With gratitude,

Malia, Janine, Omar, Samer, Zina, Joey, Avril, Deirdre
