Prestige Holidays to host 16 agents on fam trips to Canada


Prestige Holidays is to host three fam trips to Canada. Four agents will travel in July


for a three-day trip to see the Calgary Stampede – billed as the ‘greatest outdoor show on Earth’ – and visit the city of Calgary. Two seven-night fam trips,


each for six agents, will run in October. Denise Hunn, Canada tour


operations director, will host a trip to Montreal and Quebec City, while long-haul sales manager Jonathan Whiteley will escort agents to explore Vancouver and the Okanagan region of British Columbia. Hunn said: “We are always


open for agents to put themselves forward for a place but a key stipulation is that they have direct responsibility for selling Canada.” Agents will be chosen based


on their Prestige sales and their potential to sell. Other agent events include


a Canada Day celebration in London on July 1; roadshows in Surrey (October 15) and Essex (October 16); and hosted dinners, including in Manchester in November and Birmingham in December. prestigecanada.co.uk
