The Cadence Elite Head to Italy!
How do you wow a group of some of the most seasoned travel advisors in the industry? As a reward for achieving the coveted “Cadence Elite” status, our top-producing advisors were rewarding with a trip to Shanghai and Beijing or a trip to Milan and Florence.
The Italy trip included a private photographer to capture the special moments of their trip, a meeting with Ferragamo Salvatore, a boat tour of Lake Como, and they experienced the LAX Private Suite!
