Latin Routes will host 20 agents on two fam trips in South America later this year.

More than 150 agents attended three roadshows last week in Manchester, Birmingham and London where the specialist tour operator announced the fams.

The first trip, co-sponsored by TAP Portugal, will take agents to Brazil, visiting Rio de Janeiro, Iguazu Falls and the Amazon Rainforest.

The second trip is co-sponsored by Aerolineas Argentinas and will travel to the Patagonia region of Argentina.

Each fam trip will have 10 spaces, some of which can be won through the operator’s online travel training portal late this year.

The specialist tour operator claims to be the first to hold agent roadshows in the UK dedicated to South America.

The roadshows were themed on a summer barbecue and each event finished with a prize draw, with agents winning experiences such as an eight-night holiday to Chile and free room nights at luxury hotels in South America.

Latin Routes director and co-founder, Jessica Bains, said: “The roadshow has been a fantastic showcase designed to educate agents on how to sell South America, but we understand there is nothing better than going yourself.

“That’s why we are so excited to announce our two fam trips for 2017, which we hope demonstrates our commitment to sending as many agents to South America as possible.

“Including the prize winners from our roadshows, over 30 agents will have the opportunity to travel to South America with us in 2017.”
