The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) celebrated its Top Achievers with a trip to South Africa that included an African Safari hosted by G Adventures.
The 40-person group was escorted by David Green, G Adventures Managing Director, TTAND CEO Flemming Friisdahl, TTAND VP Rhonda Stanley, TTAND VP Agent Experience Penny Martin, and Larissa Bureau, Special Projects, TTAND. Suppliers Celebrity Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Globus, Regent Seven Seas, and AmaWaterways also attended.
“This was an absolutely amazing trip for our top achievers,” said Flemming Friisdahl, TTAND CEO. “G Adventures pulled out all the stops for this one and it was a truly unique experience for our TTAND agents.”
The group embarked on a journey through South Africa, starting with a visit to Johannesburg and Soweto, followed by exploration in Cape Town, including Table Mountain and wineries, before concluding with optional excursions to Victoria Falls.
"Thank you to The Travel Agent Next Door for choosing G Adventures to celebrate your Top Achievers in South Africa during your special 10th anniversary year celebrations. For many this was a bucket list experience, their first safari, their first visit to Victoria Falls, one of the natural wonders of the world and a new continent to explore,” said David Green, Managing Director Canada, G Adventures.
He added: “ The emotions were running high as we experienced community tourism in action, learning through the eyes of our local CEO's and guides who told their stories with passion and joy. 100% of the costs associated with the tour stayed in the local communities that we visited, and it's fair to say that we all came back enriched from the experience. Thank you TTAND for your continued support, and we look forward to celebrating with you all in Jordan for your 10th Anniversary conference."
