🎳 3-Strike no-show policy: Travel Massive events are free and often have limited capacity. No-shows prevent other people from accessing these events and can hurt our relationships with the event sponsors. The 3-strike policy exists to encourage respect for event organizers, partners, sponsors, and other members. All members are encouraged to release their tickets within the timeframe outlined on the event page but if they fail to do so and reach 3 event no-shows the member will not be able to attend any upcoming events for 3 months.

Hello Toronto Massive,
Help us help you.
Our events are free to active members of the travel industry. Each event is curated for a specific niche of the travel industry and often sponsored by a travel partner looking to engage with that specific audience.
This is why your Travel Massive profile is so important – your profile is all we know about you. It is all other members and event partners know about you, so please make sure your profile is up-to-date and includes:
• A photo: so we know you are a human
• Links: your website, linktree, social media etc., these must be relevant to your role in travel
• A bio: a bio to clearly talks to what you currently do in travel industry, who you write for or type of content you create, what travel niche you work in.
Kind regards
~ Team Travel Massive Toronto

If you are new, don't be shy! Post your intro here and meet your community!
I just came across this training and thought it may prove helpful to travel industry business owners in our group.
Truth2Action TRAINING
The Indigenous Tourism Association of Canada (ITAC), in partnership with Legacy Bowes, is pleased to offer a reconciliation training program for non-Indigenous businesses and organizations in the tourism industry. The Certificate in Reconciliation for the Tourism Industry is a hybrid virtual and in-person program that provides a safe space for staff and board members to learn more about Indigenous perspectives and explore their role in furthering reconciliation.

There has been so much interest in the FIFA World Cup 2026 and what it will look like in Toronto. To help answer those questions, the city is hosting an Industry Briefing that I thought many in this group would find interesting. Register here for the Jan 30th Zoom event: destinationtoronto.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_aN3uL6YMQYaQkK17w1N3dA#/registration
Hello Toronto!
Whether you are new to Travel Massive Toronto or have been with us for years, our events are truly the heart of our community.
We put significant time and care into curating events alongside partners who bring real value, education, and meaningful connections to you. As 2026 gets underway, you may have already noticed some exciting opportunities to learn, network, and engage, and we are proud of the momentum building within our chapter.
With this growth comes a renewed focus on strengthening our membership and ensuring clarity around how we come together as a community.
To help us do this, all members are required to complete their Travel Massive profile.
Beyond simply filling in each section, your profile should clearly reflect what you do, or what you aspire to do, within the travel industry and include relevant social media and website links. Think of it as your professional calling card.
Why we are so adamant: Other members review profiles before attending in-person events to see who they would like to connect with. Our partners also rely on them for the same reason.
Your Toronto Chapter Leader team, Jasmin, Kateryna, and Rain, have spent a considerable amount of time reaching out to registered attendees whose profiles are missing photos, bios, or a clear industry context. While we are always happy to help, this process is time-consuming and challenging, especially as we are a volunteer team.
Please note that every event clearly outlines who it is intended for, whether media, trade, or both. This ensures our partners can reach the right audience and that you are attending events that can genuinely benefit you.
By keeping your Travel Massive page complete and up to date, you help us avoid the need to follow up or potentially unregister attendees whose profiles do not align with the event criteria.
We deeply appreciate everything you bring to the Travel Massive Toronto community and hope this helps everyone involved.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at Toronto@TravelMassive.com.
-Jasmin
Great energy and mix of industry professionals!
Thank you for joining us!
Kateryna - It was a pleasure to meet you. The event was run so smoothly thanks to you and your expert slide support :) Have a great weekend and please stay in touch.
You as well Wanda, speak soon :)
Hi everyone! I’m the new CMO of Aurora Expeditions, an award winning, Expedition cruise company based in Australia. We’ve been around for 30+ years and are expanding our presence globally.
I’m actually based in Toronto, and am ex-G Adventures, so not completely new to travel.
I’m looking forward to meeting more of you to help me grow the Aurora brand across Canada, the US, and Europe.
Cheers
Hey Greg! I really enjoyed the Aurora presentation at the ACTA summit a few weeks back. I learned a lot about Aurora's position in the global (not just Antartica!) expedition space. Looking forward to connecting with you at one of our networking events!
Oh that’s great Jasmin. Yes, David did that presentation. He’s our global head of sales and is also based here in Toronto. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hello all! I'm excited to join Travel Massive! I have started a new Food and Walking Experience Company called Delicious Discoveries and am looking to form connections here with other travel professionals in Toronto. If anyone has experience listing a business on Trip Advisor, I'd really appreciate your insight! Looking forward to connecting!
