Top Villas eyes more events following ‘incredible’ reaction to Brighton brunch

Top Villas hopes to organise a series of agent training events following the “incredible” response to the launch of its inaugural session, taking place in Brighton on July 14.

The villas specialist said the educational brunch for travel agents was fully booked within one hour of launch.

Its first dedicated travel agent event will bring together 20 travel agents and villa specialists for networking and destination insight at Atelier by the Sea, Brighton.

It is being delivered in partnership with Visit Orlando and supported by InteleTravel.

Top Villas offers agents access to a portfolio of more than 19,000 villas, commission, price parity, dedicated support and concierge services.

Ed Frampton-Fell, general manager of Top Villas, said: “The response to this event has been incredible and clearly demonstrates the appetite among agents for meaningful, face-to-face learning opportunities.

“To be fully booked within an hour of launch was fantastic and reinforces the strength of both the villa market and our trade relationships.

“At Top Villas, we are passionate about supporting our agent partners and helping them grow their business.

“Villa holidays continue to represent a significant opportunity for agents and there is no substitute for meeting in person, sharing knowledge and building relationships.”

Thao Tran, UK and Ireland trade representative for Visit Orlando, added: “Orlando continues to evolve and expand its tourism offering, giving visitors more experiences, attractions and accommodation choices than ever before.

“Training events such as these are invaluable. They not only provide agents with the knowledge and confidence they need to sell effectively, but they also create opportunities for collaboration, relationship building and shared learning across the industry.”
