G Touring has revealed Vietnam is the destination of choice for its upcoming fam trip, which is being run in October as part of the TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes annual campaign.
The fam trip will showcase two Planeterra Foundation community tourism projects in Vietnam, along with a number of other activities yet to be revealed.
“We’re creating this as a completely bespoke trip because we want to showcase two Planeterra projects and really immerse our trade partners in the destination,” said Sarah Weetman, sales director at G Touring, the umbrella brand encompassing Just You and Travelsphere.
“We want agents to come home knowing they’ve learnt something new and that they’ve experienced something they can showcase to customers and colleagues.”
The two featured projects are Koto Villa and Oodles of Noodles, both supporting disadvantaged youth living on the streets of Vietnam by offering hospitality training.
“At Koto Villa the two-year training programme means graduates leave with an international accreditation and can go on to have lifelong careers in hospitality,” explained Weetman.
“I’m so excited about this because it’s a dream destination for so many, it’s life changing, and to experience [these community tourism projects in Vietnam] is completely different to reading about them – you feel it in your heart.”
“I hope we can demonstrate tourism can be a force for good if it’s done in the right way,” she added.
Travel agents are being given the opportunity to win one of 10 places on G Touring’s TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes fam trip to Vietnam. Full details can be found at Win 1 of 10 places on G Touring’s TTG Sustainable Travel Heroes fam trip.
