Memories of Italy Program : a great learning experience

Montréal, June 17, 2010

Marlin Travel consultants and their companions recently returned from ‘Memories of Italy’. This unique program allows travel consultants to visit destinations around the world, with a companion of their choice and be provided with the necessary tools for sharing their experience with their current and potential clients during the trip and upon their return.

“Our clients are more sophisticated today and demand more niche product to destinations that are sometimes out-of-the-ordinary. We want to ensure that we are constantly upgrading our skill sets and knowledgebase so that we can offer our clients the best possible options for their vacation choices” says Mary Ogaki, Groups Specialist at Marlin Travel.

Bookings are monitored for up to one year after returning from a Memory Trip. “We’ve seen incredible results from each of the Memory Trips and our supplier partners are committed to our program as they’ve seen the results” says Tanya Sampson, Director of Marketing.
