networks in the world, these international partners

of sales, technology, operations and account
management, are located in a variety of regions.
“Travel Leaders has decentralized key positions
from our main headquarters to provide superior
support, coverage and flexibility to best serve our
members and their clients,” said Angeles Yugdar,
Senior Vice President of International Markets for
Travel Leaders Network.
Plus, each agency has access to Travel
Leaders’ comprehensive suite of resources.
Those include online booking tools, a wide
variety of marketing programs, an international
destination management company (DMC)
network and access to a vast array of education
and training resources. Members also have
access to the company’s one-of-a-kind hotel
and accommodation programs. Based on Travel
Leaders’ buying power and relationships with
the most distinctive hotel properties worldwide,
our international partners can offer clients
exceptional rates and VIP amenities at hotels
around the globe.
The SELECT Hotels & Resorts program features
more than 1,275 of the world’s most desirable

technology and customer reporting tools.
