It is hard to believe that we are coming to the end of another year.
We recently had wonderful experience at Travel Weekly’s CruiseWorld here locally in Fort Lauderdale. Along with CruiseWorld, we attended our second USTOA Annual Conference also held in Fort Lauderdale along with OASIS and Signature Conventions at the the Mandalay Bay, Las Vegas.
Please check within the Newsletter about our milestone of certifying over 3,550 Travel Professionals as Accessible Travel Advocates and our recent donation of a Scooter to Camillus House in Miami. Also, in conjunction with NACTA’s South Florida Chapter, SNG donated items to Aguadilla Nursing Home in Puerto Rico; the nursing home after being affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria is still without electricity, but continues in assisting locals within the community.
We are thoroughly looking forward to 2018 and another spectacular year as we continue exploring new opportunities for Delivering an Accessible World®.
In addition, please check out details regarding our Transatlantic Promotion within the Newsletter.
Wishing you and your family a safe and Happy Holiday Season and the best for a healhty and prosperous New Year.
Thank you for your continued support.
Keep Smilin’,
