Independent operator Red Sea Holidays will host a fam trip for travel agents this November – its first one since the pandemic.
The trip will be led by new national trade manager Nicky Bird, who will be hosting 15 agents from agencies such as Not Just Travel, Blue Bay Travel, Hays Travel and Fred Olsen Retail.
The aim is to strengthen trade relations as demand for package holidays to Egypt grows.
Bird said: “We are delighted to be restarting our popular trade fam programme and get more agents to our beautiful properties on the Red Sea.
“We have been overwhelmed by applications which totalled over 300 in all and are delighted with the mix of agents that will be joining us in November.

“We wanted to use this as an opportunity to get those who have either not travelled to Egypt before, or not for a long time, out to our Hurghada and Makadi Bay resorts to experience the all-inclusive offering first hand and see the exceptional quality of our properties and service.”
Red Sea Holidays plans to host further fam trips in 2024 along with new training opportunities and events.
The Egypt specialist offers holidays to Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada (pictured) and Makadi Bay as well as Nile cruises.
It offers regional departure points and added benefits such as free late check out.
Bird took on the newly created role of national trade manager in May, having previously been business development manager at Not Just Travel.
