Travelsphere and Just You are planning their largest ever fam trip programme, with a new style of educational in 2025.
The sister touring brands said they aim to build on the success of 2024, which saw 50 agents on five trips – the 2025 programme will be more extensive thanks to a system based on experience.
The beginner level will be for agents who have never sold an escorted tour before.
Intermediate is aimed at those who sell a small number of tours annually and are eager to expand their business.
The top sellers tier will be designed for agents who “excel” in selling escorted tours.
Travelsphere and Just You said the change reflects their commitment to becoming the “go-to brands for travel agents looking to master the art of selling escorted tours”.
Each trip will align with the agent’s experience, helping them to identify touring customers, marketing strategies and ways to maximise earning potential.
Tom Morgan (pictured), UK trade sales director for Travelsphere and Just You, said: “This new approach to our fam trips is part of our ongoing mission to empower our travel agent partners.
“By both tailoring trips to make them more relevant and increasing the level of training, we ensure that every agent, regardless of their experience, can gain valuable insights that will help them succeed in selling escorted tours.”
Further details on the 2025 fam trips will be released later this year.
Agents interested in the beginner fam trip can apply by emailing agencysales@travelsphere.co.uk explaining why they want to learn how to sell escorted tours. Applications are open until 11.59pm on October 31.
