Training & Hospitaliy - The Keys to Taxi Success

Toronto has been named the 10th most economically powerful city in the world, with a mosaic of cultures, in the heart of a region of 5.5 million people. As the economic engine of Canada, Toronto is a major tourist destination, and its taxi and limousine industries play a key role as ambassadors for the city. As our conference host, Toronto’s Taxi Training Division will showcase their philosophy and approach to training, hospitality and customer service in the context of Municipal Licensing and Standards.
