Kuoni college to host Far East agent training events


Juliet Dennis juliet.dennis@travelweekly.co.uk


Kuoni is to run its Worldwide College agent training programme for a second year following its successful relaunch last year.


The focus this year will be the


Far East and for the first time there will be events in Bristol and Belfast. Training will also be held in London, Birmingham and Manchester. There will be seven events in


total across the five venues, and at each agents will have a chance to win a place on a Far East fam trip. Kuoni said 220 agents had


already signed up but there were 130 places still up for grabs. The first event is in London


on June 4, with a daytime and separate evening event; followed by Manchester on June 6; Birmingham on June 12, where there are both daytime and evening events; Bristol on June 14; and Belfast on July 3. Venues have yet to be confirmed.

PortAventura’s Ferrari Land revs up to open five-attraction kids’ zone


PortAventura World is poised to open a new kids’ area at Ferrari Land and will mark the 20th anniversary of Woody Woodpecker with an interactive experience. The kids’ zone at the Spanish park opens on April 20 and includes five attractions for younger children.


Kuoni’s trade team will host


the training in partnership with Shangri-La, Banyan Tree and Oberoi, three of the operator’s key resort partners. Sessions will feature interactive


breakout sessions. Destinations including Thailand, Vietnam and Bali will be showcased in a fun way, according to head of trade sales Brad Bennetts. He said: “Last year’s Worldwide


College was a huge success, with many of our events oversubscribed. “We had some fantastic feedback


WORLDWIDE COLLEGE: Agents will be able to win fam trip places at Kuoni events in Belfast, Bristol, Birmingham, Manchester and London


and sales uplift following the events, so we’ve been able to make this year’s events bigger and better.” He added: “It’s all about equipping agents with inspiring insights, and the event format very much fits with our face-to-face personal approach.” Kuoni brought back a new-look


Worldwide College last year after a six-year gap. Last year it focused on the Indian Ocean. To register for a place at a


training session, go to: worldwidecollege@kuoni.co.uk


They are: Junior Red Force, a miniature version of


Red Force, Europe’s tallest and fastest rollercoaster, which launched at the park last year; freefall bouncy tower Kids’ Tower; Crazy Pistons, inspired by the pistons in a Ferrari car; Champions Race, to experience the sensation of driving a Ferrari Testarossa 250; and Flying Race, an attraction for budding young pilots. Woody Woodpecker’s 20th anniversary at the park will be marked by the opening of Woody


Woodpecker’s house to the public for the first time. portaventuraworld.com
