A Mekong cruise aboard APT’s
AmaLotus has wrapped up the
company’s largest agent famil
program.
A TOTAL of 250 agents experienced various
APT products in 2012, more than any other year.
The company’s expanded famil program
demonstrated its commitment to the retail
travel networks, according to national sales
manager Susan Haberle.
“We hosted more retail selling consultants
than ever before,” she said.
“Our passengers may be doing their research
through brochures and online, but they refer
to agents to pull everything together, including
their private pre and post APT tour arrangements.”
Haberle said it was “imperative that our
agency networks experience our product and
in turn educate their colleagues across the
country.”
This year’s APT famils have included Europe
river cruising, the Kimberley, Alaska, South
Africa, South America, Central Australia and
West Coast USA Air Cruising.
One of the final famils involved a Flight
Centre group, who explored Vietnam and
Cambodia on APT’s 124-passenger AmaLotus.
While experiencing the cities of Saigon,
Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, they cruised for
seven nights on the Mekong, visiting floating
markets, villages, factories, temples and
monasteries, and while onboard they enjoyed
the food, entertainment and comfortable
suites.
