Farewell Note: After a Decade of Dedication and Growth by Nihla Haq

"I’ve had the privilege of being a part of the Detroves Travels family for an incredible decade and as I say goodbye to this remarkable journey, I am filled with gratitude for the enriching experiences, growth opportunities and invaluable relationships I've built during my time here.

From the very beginning of my career, Detroves had an open work environment that values and encourages the input of every team member. It’s a culture of collaboration and innovation that empowered me and my colleagues to freely share our ideas and perspectives, knowing they are not only heard but genuinely appreciated. The company's commitment to training and development was the key to shaping my career. I received advanced training that equipped me with a diverse skill set, allowing me to seamlessly handle inquiries, manage clients on the ground, delve into marketing initiatives and even contribute to the new team members. Additionally, the exposure gained from international travel broadened my horizons, giving me the confidence to venture into new markets, including French and Scandinavian countries.

As every journey has its challenges, I encountered mine in the early stages of marketing. The struggle to convert new agents weighed on me, but with the support of resources including insightful feedback from my mentor Garwin Murray , I embraced a learning curve. Through diligent studies, watching informative marketing videos and implementing the advice I received, I transformed my approach to a whole new level, leading to a gradual but significant increase in conversions.

Among the highlights during my period, nothing quite compares to the happiness of leading the well-established French and Scandinavian markets built from scratch. Witnessing these markets evolve into top performers within the company supported by the successful conversion of over ten potential agents, stands as a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit of our team. One of the driving forces behind my enthusiasm has been the culture of feedback and recognition at Detroves. The consistent acknowledgment of our contributions both individually and as a team served as a powerful motivator, fueling us to continuously excel and innovate in our roles. This culture combined with a healthy work-life balance that accommodated flexible work arrangements, created an environment where productivity flourished.

As I reflect on my time here and consider the road ahead, I believe that Detroves can further enhance its impact by focusing on sustainability and embracing technology to attract a global customer base. Such strategic movements would undoubtedly position the company as invincible in the industry. Throughout my tenure, the relationships I had with managers and leaders have been the foundation of my journey. Their guidance, mentorship and unwavering support have enabled me to navigate challenges and seize opportunities with confidence, ultimately contributing to my professional growth.

My time at Detroves Travels has been a transformative chapter in my life. It has not only shaped my career but also enriched me as an individual. The memories, the lessons learned and the bonds formed will remain deeply attached to my heart as I embark on a new adventure overseas. I leave Detroves with deep gratitude, cherishing the legacy of a decade well spent.

Thank you, Detroves and the team, for everything!"
