Celebrating World Tourism Day with team LodgeLink

At LodgeLink the team works tirelessly to support our customers and their crews with all their travel needs. As we celebrate World Tourism Day, we decided to turn the travel spotlight on our LodgeLink team and ask them about their most memorable work travel experiences, amenities they always look for in hotels and their ideal work-from-home destination. Here are some of the fun travel stories they shared with us and some of the cool, innovative ways they have helped our customers.
 

Nupur G: My work trip to Kashmir Valley (India) is etched into my memory. I was working outdoors, surrounded by beautiful gigantic mountains. The calm and clarity that I felt in those moments was such a novel emotion.

Colin N: My most memorable work trip was going to a blockchain conference hosted by Microsoft in Redmond. I met really interesting people and got to check out the tech scene around the Seattle area! Image is of me at the Ballard Locks.

Natalie K: Since I started working for LodgeLink in the middle of the pandemic, I haven’t gotten much of a chance to travel. However, we did do a work trip to stampede this year! Might have only travelled down a couple blocks but it was truly a fun experience. It gave me the chance to meet with my coworkers face-to-face, go to the rodeo for the first time, and was a type of team bonding (oddly enough, I felt like a better-connected team after this experience).
 

Scott V: Consulting with a large complex new client over the course of 2020 and 2021 to understand their challenges and begin servicing their crews has been fulfilling and challenging.

Natalie K: Favorite memory is my everyday interactions with new customers. When they get a handle of the platform after our demo session, talking about how much easier it makes their lives. They enjoy the “one-stop-shop” ambience of LodgeLink.

Colin N: I just started here so I haven't had much of an impact yet, but helping admins invite users through less restrictive email validation has been interesting so far.
 

Arshia H: Air Conditioner (summer) as I can't tolerate the heat. Indoor parking (winter) as I really hate to scrape the windshield in the morning. Breakfast buffet as I have never skipped a breakfast in my entire life and obviously I can't get fully functional without a nice and strong coffee!

Ashish A: Wi-Fi, free parking, easy check-in/checkout
 
Shahood A: 24-hour check in guest receptionist. Transportation services to and from my place of stay to the airport. Most important of them all - free Wi-Fi that is fast and convenient. 
 

Lizly C: If I could work anywhere in the world, I would like to go to Camotes Islands where I am from. Our house is just near the beach so I can just work in the beachside.

Shahood A: I would definitely choose a small country/island called Mauritius. It’s a country/island that's just on the east of Africa. It features surreal scenic views, waterfalls, and white sand beaches. It's modernized enough that it’s got fast Wi-Fi and amazing food. I would enjoy the sun and of course coconut water as I hammer invoices away under the shade of coconut trees.
 
Scott V: Calgary is home for me, can’t beat having my friends, family, and the Rocky Mountains nearby.
