At Tier One Travel, we’re proud to celebrate an incredible achievement by our own Karli MacKinnon, who was recently recognized on a global stage through Accor’s HERA program.
Karli was invited to Colombia as part of the exclusive HERA Challenge, an initiative designed to honour the top-performing travel advisors worldwide. Out of more than 36,000 advisors in the program, Karli earned her place among the top 30 globally, representing the Fairmont category. This recognition highlights not only her outstanding performance but also her deep industry expertise and commitment to her clients.
The hosted experience took place in Cartagena, where Karli stayed at two exceptional properties: Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena and Sofitel Barú Calablanca Beach Resort. The itinerary combined cultural experiences, networking opportunities, and a special award celebration recognizing the achievements of top advisors from around the world.
Reflecting on the experience, Karli shared:
“It was incredible! The Accor team did an exceptional job celebrating the top 30 advisors in the world out of 36,000 HERA advisors. I was there for the Fairmont category. I almost needed a second bag to bring home all the thoughtful gifts we received!”
With more than 20 years in the industry, Karli is known for delivering high-level corporate travel management with precision and care. She specializes in complex, time-sensitive itineraries and supports businesses where travel plays a critical role in operations. Her ability to remain calm under pressure and consistently deliver results has made her a trusted partner to her clients and a leader within the Tier One Travel team.
This recognition through Accor’s HERA program is a reflection of the dedication, expertise, and strong relationships Karli brings to her work every day. We’re thrilled to see her accomplishments celebrated on a global level and even more proud to have her as part of our team!
