p>Acacia Adventure Holidays will be running a Madagascar ?Tweet Up? on the tour operator?s Twitter page (twitter.com/AcaciaAfrica), this Friday 21 August.The operator says it's an ideal opportunity for agents to quiz the Africa specialist about the fourth largest island in the world, the ?Tweet Up? is part of Acacia?s commitment to agent training.
Heath Ashcroft, marketing director at Acacia Adventure Holidays, said: ?Due to the country?s emerging status as a holiday destination, organised tours to Madagascar have a tendency to be more expensive than other more well known countries in Africa. The current visa waiver*, available for adventurers travelling up to 31 December, is an added incentive for any client wanting to see a different side to the continent and that?s why we believe that now is the ideal time to push the destination.?
?The perfect holiday for the more seasoned safari-goer, Madagascar may come without the elephant, gorilla, monkey, gorilla, lion and rhino, but many of the animals, including the famous lemur cannot be found anywhere else in the world. The latter part of the year also has some great wildlife surprises in store; October to November is baby lemur season and between September and December is the breeding season for birdlife. The ?tweet up? is part of our commitment to agent training and it?s a chance for us to continue developing our agents knowledge base in real time.?
The tweet up will run from 10am to midday (BST). Questions can be forwarded to info@acacia-africa.com in advance or highlighted on the twitter page on Friday 21 August.
