“In our industry, it’s easy to promise support. It’s much harder to consistently deliver on it. These recipients have always been partners who advocate for us and our clients, and genuinely listen to what we need. There’s something really special about partners who bring that genuine care to the work,” said Monica Fasse, Industry & Partner Relations Manager.

ITA Group congratulates this year's honorees and thanks them for their dedication, expertise and commitment to partnership. Their contributions help create memorable experiences, strengthen client relationships and elevate the standard for excellence across the events, hospitality and incentive travel industries.
