This past week, four of the five My Paradise Planner team members attended the Home Based Travel Agent Forum in one of the most magical places on earth: Disney World!

This forum is put on twice a year, normally in Las Vegas in Spring and then somewhere on the East Coast of the US in Fall. The foum gives agents around the country an opportunity to network with other agents and suppliers; educate themselves on our industry so they to become the best and most knowledgable agents for their clients; and provides them with the right tools to help them build or grow their home based businesses successfully.
After attending the forum for many years, our owner, Kira Solomon, was invited to be a panelist on the "Vow To Wow: Say "I Do" to Destination Weddings" panel. Proud to be representing both My Paradise Planner and our preferred suppliers Sandals Resorts and Beaches Resorts; Kira discussed the secrets to her own success as a Destination Wedding and Honeymoon specialist in hopes to teach and inspire newer agents in the industry.
Our Paradise Planners attended seminars on everything from Social Media and Blogging to Certification Courses and more.

While on the trade show floor, Kira was interviewed out our company by Gary Fee, the President of the Outside Sales & Support Network (OSSN)
As well as by Raven Blaire Davis, from Women Power Talk Radio.
Of course, the show wasn't all work. All agents in attendance were given Disney park hopper tickets and were able to take advantage of the parks after a full day of training and seminars. The My Paradise Planner team got a chance to head over to Epcot to check out the Food and Wine Festival and then ended the night at Magic Kingdom enjoying the line-free rides after the parks closed to the general public but stayed open until 1AM for those staying at the resorts.
