Vancouver is not just a gateway, it's a destination in its own right. In this episode of Travel Agent Takeaways , Charlie chats with Di Schinella, local representative for Destination Vancouver, fresh from her most recent 10-day visit to the city. Di shares a personal and passionate take on why Vancouver is more than just a pre- or post-cruise stopover. From cherry blossoms in spring to buzzing patios in summer and mild winters perfect for exploring the sea wall, Vancouver offers a unique blend of nature, urban energy, and a thriving food scene. Di highlights experiences like whale watching, biking through Stanley Park, and sunset dinners by the waterfront, all within easy reach thanks to the city’s walkable layout and compact design. The conversation also dives into how travel agents can better promote Vancouver, including insights into the city's cruise terminal, its sustainable initiatives, and the rich culinary diversity that now includes Michelin-starred dining. Di encourages advisors to take advantage of the Vancouver Specialist Program, which includes access to a Destination Experience Pass and other valuable trade tools.
