Route options with Rail Australia
Following the introduction of its new CountryLink module, Rail Australia’s alliance partners Great Southern Rail and CountryLink have now added a new 'Resources' section to their training website. The new section includes pdfs of brochures and flyers, timetables and suggested packages. The package ideas are designed to help agents sell by showing how the trains can be combined with destinational experiences. The CountryLink packages, for example, suggest five two-to-four night itineraries that allow clients to discover the vastness and beauty of New South Wales and beyond, perhaps taking in the Sydney to Broken Hill route via the Blue Mountains using CountryLink XPT and XPLORER, or a variety of other combinations. Great Southern Rail package ideas use The Ghan and Indian Pacific, on

Michael Rossi Thomas Cook
Michael, who is being sponsored on the Accredited Travel Professionals scheme by T
ravel Uni and Selling Long Haul,
provides us with an update. "I am constantly trying to find ways to
develop my product and destination knowledge and to be more involved in the industry as a whole. It is hard to maintain a good work life balance with so much to do. “I have been doing extremely well on
selling USA/Florida products and these have now become my only two specialisms, as demand is so high and these alone give me enough to stay busy. I believe the reason I have improved so much in selling this area is the fact that I have taken all the courses I can find on Orlando and these have really aided my development. “I am extremely committed to working
more closely with the Accredited Travel Professionals scheme and just wish life was a little less hectic sometimes.”
