in May, as well as fams to Dubai, Tailand, Tuscany and Jordan later in the year. Steve Wit, co-founder of Not Just Travel

Antigua and Saint Lucia in the last 18 months. All trips are chargeable but the group said


costs are kept to a minimum. Wit added: “Te idea is that consultants


easily recoup their money through subsequent sales. On our last skiing trip to Canada, one of our consultants received an enquiry of around £120,000 because she was able to describe Whistler so passionately to her client.”
