According to the conference’s website, GBTA is all about creating and nurturing valuable relationships while generosity exploring new opportunities, something we at DelSuites truly resonate with.

Speaking of DelSuites, let us shed a little light on what we’re bringing to the conference. Serving a discerning “Fortune 500” clientele, DelSuites has emerged as a prominent player in the Greater Toronto Area.

Last Year’s Data

Reflecting on our previous rendezvous at the GBTA Conference in 2023 brings back some fond memories and terrific milestones. As highlighted on the official GBTA website, the event demonstrated that it was a thriving marketplace and a gold mine of industry expertise.

To grasp the magnitude of the strides we made last year, here are a few key figures:

A whopping 88% of buyers intended to establish connections with at least one new supplier they interacted with on the 2023 expo floor.
A majority of the attendees, 69% to be precise, had a significant industry experience of over 10 years, with almost half of that number holding a minimum of 20 years under their belt.
The conference was a global affair, with 65% of the companies coming from outside Canada. An additional 20% represented multinational corporations, and 15% were Canadian businesses.

The exhibitor lineup predominantly consisted of hotel franchises, airlines, and transportation firms. As you can see, there are lots of possibilities, plenty of potential connections and more lessons to learn!

Mark your calendar for three electrifying days of exhilarating experiences at the GBTA conference! This year’s schedule spans from April 22nd until the 24th and includes a perfect blend of main stages, expos, and education sessions, offering an enriching and broad spectrum of activities.

Day 2

Attend two Main Stages that host groundbreaking dialogues and discussions led by illustrious speakers.
Be a part of two Education Sessions (three choices to choose from in the morning and afternoon) touching on a range of industry topics: offer and order management, marketing, technology and AI, and buyer relationships.
Spend more time on the 2nd day of the Expo, uncovering a wealth of opportunities.
Unwind in the evening at the Big Night Out, a 5-hour event promised to be full of fun, networking and relaxation. The theme is yet to be announced.

Day 3

Choose between four additional Education Sessions designed to provide insights on bidder proposals, security and safety, stakeholder relations, and the Duty of Care legislation.

Making it Easy – HR to Relocate Employees

March 2, 2024

One of the main roles of an HR professional is to take care of the company’s employees, ensuring that they have everything they need to achieve success in their new role. When you send out key players to a new location, one of the best ways to support them and relocate employees is to set them up with a great place to stay.

Where Do Employees Stay When They Relocate?

Let’s say you are relocating an employee to Toronto on a short-term assignment or project. You can either doom them to a stay in a cramped hotel room where they will have to get work done on a tiny table in the corner and eat dinner in bed, or you can set them up with a full apartment so they can live comfortably. This is especially important when these employees are relocating for work with family and partners, as they will require more space and amenities.

When you offer high quality, comfortable and convenient accommodation for your employees, this will have a positive effect on your bottom line in the way of improved employee satisfaction and better retention. Plus, when employees have a comfortable place to live they will arrive at work happy, healthy, well-rested and ready to perform their best.

Advantages for HR to Relocate Employees into DelSuites Furnished Apartments

When you are relocating employees into furnished apartments in Toronto, they will be more comfortable than in a hotel room. Here are some of the features that a DelSuites fully furnished rental suite offers:

24-hour customer service, secured parking and housekeeping.
A fully equipped kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, allowing for convenient self-catering.
A spacious living area with a separate dining and sleeping area.
Convenient locations close to the most important neighborhoods and transit in Toronto, so that employees don’t have to spend a lot of time commuting.
High-speed internet and free local and long-distance phone calls.
Underground, assigned parking with 24-hour building security.
En-suite laundry facilities.
Many of our properties are pet friendly so that employees can bring their beloved animal companions when they relocate.
A friendly team of experienced staff who will welcome all guests in a professional, helpful way.

These apartments allow employees to have a residential experience while remaining close to the office. Also, they will be able to have a social life, as this style of accommodation enables them to invite family or friends over to visit. Plus, long-term corporate apartment rentals are much more cost-effective than daily hotel rates. When factoring in the benefits of amenities, there are significant savings.

These apartments are the ideal way to bridge the gap between onboarding and a permanent relocation. With comfortable surroundings such as these, employees can ease into their new environment when arriving for a position.

Executive Suites in Mississauga: Are They Toronto’s Next Hotspot?

February 6, 2024

Short-term rentals are the best-hidden secret for vacationers, remote workers, and traveling businessmen and women. You can stay in great rentals, thoroughly- cleaned and furnished for your most immediate needs, while you stay in Mississauga, a great city and part of the Greater Toronto Area.

A cut above our other short-term rentals, we have executive suites available for traveling businessmen or women.

Whether you need to stay in town a few months to oversee a merger or want to vacation between dealings at the office, we have the perfect executive suite for you in Mississauga.

Do You Need an Executive Suite?

Are you an executive? Then, yes. Seriously though, if you are staying at one of our short-term rentals for work purposes, we recommend that you choose an executive suite. These suites, and the amenities in them, will help you relax and prepare for the busy workdays you have ahead of you.

Similar to flying in first-class rather than economy so you can rest before a big meeting, staying in an executive suite so you can perform your best where it counts, is the best strategy for success.

We have executive suites near the financial district, or you can opt for an executive suite located in a quieter location a bit farther away.

Why You Will Love Our Executive Suites

Our executive suites in Mississauga are located in prime Mississauga neighborhoods, featuring luxurious amenities and a contemporary, furnished interior decoration.

With over 20 locations spread over the Greater Toronto Area, you can be as close to the city’s hustle and bustle as you want or the Toronto suburbs’ coziness and quiet.

We have suites available of any size, from one-bedroom executive suites to 3-bedroom townhomes, perfect for a corporate family vacation.

The Benefits of Executive Suites in Mississauga

Executive suites also offer support from building staff. Standard DelSuites amenities include:

A state of the art entertainment system (television, cable package, DVD/CD players)
Professionally-cleaned and sanitized interiors
Spare linens
Bathroom products and toiletries
24-hour security
Secure parking in a safe location
in-house or nearby recreational facilities (depending on your activity preferences)
A full cooking suite (fridge, stove, microwave, dishwasher)

All these amenities and more can be yours. Executive suites are a cut above, so you are always getting excellent service for a great price.

Executive suites also offer business-centric advantages. They are often either deliberately set up for business or are amenable to added office space. With DelSuites, you can:

Host meetings
Video conference
Catch up on office work
Use a WiFi connection
Meet with local clients
Stay in touch with free local and North American long-distance calling
And much more

It is not all work and no play, though. Executive suites also offer eating areas, sleeping areas, and lounging/recreational areas. If you rent a large area, perhaps a 3-bedroom condo or townhome for your 30+ day stay, you can quite literally cordon off entire sections of a home-based on your corporate needs.

Mississauga Offers Great Attractions and Events to Check Out On Your Stay

Although the pandemic has shuttered some attractions and stopped some events from occurring, there is still a lot you can do and experience in Mississauga while still wearing a mask, keeping your distance from others, and following other public health guidelines. You can still:

Visit Celebration Square
Check out the Civic Centre
Take an art class
Play a round of golf
Take a boat trip to the marina
Experience Meadowvale Theatre
Visit the Bradley Museum
Enjoy Paramount Fine Foods Centre

In Mississauga and the Greater Toronto Area by extension, there is always something happening.

You can also stay inside. You can also take advantage of virtual entertainment options with your full-furnished entertainment system. Watch the new Netflix episode or movie, listen to the classics with your state-of-the-art sound system, or just relax by watching cable television.

The DelSuites Executive Difference

At DelSuites, we offer premium living staycations to prospective clients. As an executive, you need a prime rental for short-term availability at the best location possible for your needs.

We can offer that. Staying in an executive suite may make all the difference at work. You can view all available Mississauga executive suites on our website or contact us directly for more details on our current vacancies.

How to Welcome an Employee Relocating

January 17, 2024

Thoughtful relocation support can make a big difference and can positively impact the performance and overall happiness of your new team member. So, how can you make your employee relocating feel right at home in their new city? Here are some ways that you can welcome your new employees so that you can make a great impression on them from the start.

Employee Relocating – Give Them a Welcome Pack

This is a lovely gesture that will make your new employee feel special. You can give it to them on the first day at work, or have it waiting for them at their accommodation. What should you put in it? How about:

A warm and friendly letter welcoming them to the city and the company.
A guide to the city with suggestions on interesting spots to visit.
Local snacks or cookies.
A bottle of wine or a case of local beer.
A map of the area where they will be living.
Coupons for discounts or freebies at local businesses.

Provide Them With Convenient Accommodation

Employee Relocating Placing your new employees in a hotel until they can move into a more permanent home isn’t a great solution, especially if they need to stay there for a month or longer. Instead, provide them with a furnished corporate housing apartment where they can enjoy all of the comforts of home, such as a kitchen, washer and dryer, living room, office space and parking.

Plus, make sure that they are located close to where they will be working. They are new to the city and they don’t want to be spending all of their time getting lost while commuting.

Create a Helpful Checklist

When locating a new province or country, there are a lot of things that your new employee will need to think about when getting themselves settled in their new home. This can be overwhelming for them, as there are so many things to do and it’s hard to know what is time-sensitive and what isn’t.

It can be very helpful to create a checklist for your employee relocating, to help them understand what needs to be done and what their priorities are. It will break down the large and overwhelming task into simpler and more manageable pieces. For reference, here’s a helpful checklist for employees moving to Canada from abroad.

Host Opportunities to Socialize

Employee Relocating When your new employee arrives, they will likely not know anyone in the city and might feel a little bit lonely. You can make them feel more at home by hosting events where they will have a chance to make friends.

You can also offer information to them about other opportunities to meet people. If you aren’t sure what to suggest, ask your existing employees what events or get-togethers they attend or what things they did in the city to make friends when they first arrived. Many different activities and groups will welcome newcomers and make them feel like part of the community.
