Thank you to everyone who joined our second Travefy Academy Trivia Happy Hour on Thursday, June 25! We hope that you had as much as fun as we did and learned some new travel trivia along the way!
We first came up with the idea of hosting a trivia game over a month ago when we held our first trivia event! We wanted to do something fun with fellow travel industry colleagues to take a break from the daily grind and just enjoy each other’s company and get a little face time. This time we had over 100 registrants and participants and we hope to have another trivia happy hour in the future, check your email for future events!
Congrats to our winners:
1st Place: Gena Urowsky
2nd Place: Kim Giovacco
3rd Place: Stephanie Goldberg-Glazer
The 20 trivia questions were all travel-related along with a bonus at the end worth double the points! To see all of the questions and answers, see below to create your own travel trivia game with your colleagues, friends and family!
