An agent has highlighted the value of fam trips after she secured a £260,000 booking to a resort she visited in June.

Debbie Taylor, owner and founder of Stow Travel, joined an educational to Mauritius in June with Holidaysplease and Beachcomber where she visited several of the country’s resorts.

Two months later, she was speaking to a customer who was originally interested in going to Zanzibar, and had no interest in visiting Mauritius as they had already been there, but was convinced after Taylor shared stories of her experience.

She said: “Chatting about our shared love of Mauritius and the Beachcomber property reminded the customer of how much they loved it there and then their mind was made up; how could they not go back?

“Considering this is a group that never return to the same place, I think this says a lot about both the power of agent fam trip experiences and just how amazing this resort is too.”
