10 agents who have never sold escorted tours joined business development representatives from Travelsphere and Just You on a new-to-touring fam trip; one of three 2025 fams catering to agents with varying levels of experience selling the sector
Agents ticked off Maltese icons like Valletta and the Blue Grotto whilst heading over to the island of Gozo, which an experienced Travel Counsellor described as "a joy to explore" in an April edition of our Agent Insight column.
Kate Henry from Mirador Escapes was one of the lucky 10 to join the escorted touring brands on the Mediterranean island. "We visited a number of fascinating places and were given so much information by guides who are passionate about the area and what they do; it really brings the experience to life.
"There's also the security and convenience of having everything organised, with a holiday director on hand to help. I'm definitely going to recommend escorted touring to my customers."
Travelsphere and Just You's head of trade sales, Rachel Mould, explained the thinking behind the fam trip. "We know that first-hand experience is vital for the trade, and therefore our Malta fam trip was the perfect introduction for those who are new to selling escorted touring.
"From expert-led excursions to the convenience of a well-planned itinerary, the trip brought the overall concept to life, providing an understanding into the finer details of escorted touring and giving them the confidence to start their selling journey."
Earlier this year, we heard from G Touring's account manager, Jasmine Evans, about the two brands' synergies and trade offerings after a successful peaks with the trade.
