As the travel industry eagerly awaits the reopening of the UK-US travel corridor, Experience Kissimmee has helped more than 300 travel agents from the UK and Ireland to prepare for the anticipated rush in bookings, by hosting a virtual FAM.
Hosted over three-days (from June 8 to June 10), the agents were given access to, and substantial updates from, leading Kissimmee partners for an hour each day.
Some of the Kissimmee partners include, Jeeves Florida Rentals, Seaworld Orlando, Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World Resort, Gatorland and among others. The interactive event also included experiential elements, such as the Safari at Wild Florida and a yoga session at an Encore Resort vacation home.
Agents from Virgin Holidays, Travel Counsellors, Ocean Holidays, Fred Olsen, THG, The Holiday Emporium, Barrhead Travel and American Sky, joined the event.
A product manager?s networking lounge was held on the final day, which was attended by leading operators and partners.
Geoff Dobson from Travelbag, said ?Experience Kissimmee?s three-day FAM was not only enjoyable but highly informative. Kissimmee is such a big destination for us and the type of information they delivered was essential for our rebound effort. I was really impressed with the technology used as well as with the quality of the partner presentations.?
DT Minich, president and CEO Experience Kissimmee, said: ?It was wonderful to see so many familiar faces last week ? and welcome new agents to the Kissimmee family. Our partners took great care in providing all the must-know information for the agents, so they are prepared for upcoming bookings. It has been a tough year for the travel industry, but everyone at Experience Kissimmee is blown away by all the support shown by the UK travel trade market. We can?t wait to welcome UK travellers back to our destination.?
Located near Orlando?s theme parks and on the headwaters of the Everglades, Kissimmee has over 50,000 private holiday homes, making it the perfect choice for travellers looking to avoid larger, crowded resorts and enjoy their own home-away-from-home.
