Member travel advisors awarded the Nexion Alchemist  and Community Action Awards

IRVING, TX (October 4, 2018) –Nexion Travel Group, the leading host agency for travel professionals, has announced the winners of the Nexion Alchemist and Community Action awards. The Alchemist award honors a Nexion Travel Group member with exceptional luxury sales, while the Community Action award is given to a member who has demonstrated strong creativity and commitment to effecting change within his or her local community. The awards were presented during the company’s annual conference, CoNexion, held aboard Royal Caribbean International’s Harmony of the Seas.

This year’s winners are:

• Nexion Alchemist: Patty Rossetti, ASAP Travel, Inc., Jupiter, Florida
• Community Action: Peter Enns, Travel Concierge LLC, Scottsdale, Arizona

Rossetti was named the winner of the Nexion Alchemist award for being the top luxury salesperson at Nexion Travel Group. From July 31, 2017 to August 10, 2018, she was the highest commission earner with Nexion Travel Group’s luxury supplier partners. Rossetti is also highly active in Nexion’s educational and specialty events.

“This is an amazing honor for Patty,” said Jackie Friedman, CTC, CTIE, President of Nexion Travel Group. “Out of thousands of Nexion Travel Group members, her commissions with our luxury supplier partners were the highest. This is an incredible accomplishment, but it’s not surprising given Patty’s exceptional knowledge in combination with the relationships she has built with Nexion’s luxury supplier partners.”

The Community Action award is given to a Nexion Travel Group member who has demonstrated a commitment to social change in and beyond their community. Enns was chosen as the Community Action award winner for his program that combines cruising with continuing education for first responders. Enns’ program allows participants to go on a group cruise, receive discounted rates and participate in a variety of continuing education sessions at sea. Enns proactively sought out education directors in the first responder world to offer this innovative opportunity to law enforcement, fire fighters, EMS/EMT, emergency dispatchers, nurses, active military and veterans.

“Peter’s program is a wonderful way for first responders to combine continuing education with some vacation time, and we are very proud of him for developing this terrific opportunity that serves a group of people who are so important to us all,” said Friedman. “Congratulations to both Patricia and Peter on these exceptional honors.”
