Travel 2 has created a new agent training scheme and pledged to take 200 agents to 15 countries this year – an investment of more than £200,000.
The T2 FAM School, launched after the online training programme T2 Academy, features destinations including South Africa, Barbados, Maldives, New South Wales, Dubai, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Thailand, Vietnam and Fiji.
Travel 2 hopes the new scheme will help equip agents with vital knowledge to help them sell.
Gordon McCreadie, sales and marketing director, said: “Over 3,000 agents have registered for the T2 Academy since its launch in 2012.
“With over 51,000 modules completed, covering destinations, air product and ground suppliers, it’s clear that training is a key aspect of Travel 2’s partnership with travel agents.
“The success we’ve seen over recent years was the driving force behind the launch of the new T2 FAM School. Travel 2 is a big believer in helping agents develop their knowledge to improve sales.
“First-hand experience of products is key to this and this is why we’re offering so many fam trip places as part of our new T2 FAM School this year.”
