An agent in Scotland has demonstrated the benefits of fam trips, after securing a £30,000 booking following a sailing with Cruise and Maritime Voyages.
Ian Donaldson of Ramsay World Travel in Lochee had travelled on the line’s newest ship Columbus.
And after experiencing the ship, he secured the bumper booking for a Round the World cruise onboard Columbus shortly after returning to his office.
Karen Delorme of CMV said: “This just goes to show how important training and familiarisation is of the product an agent sells. Ian has also gone on to secure other good bookings onboard Columbus”.
CMV is hoping to attract more than 1,000 trade partners to visit its ships in 2018 after announcing a series of day visits for next year.
The line said agents were invited to go onboard and view ships’ facilities including cabins, before sampling a lunch.
