Six top performing agents have been hosted by Audley Travel on its first fam trip.

The visit to Canada rewarded agents who achieved ‘Elite’ status in a reward and loyalty scheme instigated by the tailor-made operator last year.

The participants were from Bespoke Luxury Travel, Travel Bureau, The Travel Snob (Not Just Travel), Swords Travel, Go Bespoke Travel and Off Broadway Travel.

They spent three nights in Vancouver including a seaplane trip to Victoria to go whale-watching, a night in Whistler and flour nights in a wilderness lodge.  

Stuart Swords, from Swords Travel, described the trip as “nothing short of extraordinary”. 

He added: “The highlight of my journey had to be the awe-inspiring encounter with grizzly bears in the wild, an experience I’ll cherish forever. Watching these majestic creatures in their natural habitat, thanks to Klahoose Wilderness Resort guides, was both exhilarating and humbling. 

“But it wasn’t just the wildlife that made the trip memorable; it was also the warm and welcoming Canadian locals, the stunning landscapes, and the seamless organisation by Audley Travel that made this trip an unforgettable and enriching experience.”

Other agents on the trip were Julie Harrison, Bespoke Luxury Travel; Angela Pearson, Travel Bureau; David Walker, The Travel Snob; Andy Wadsworth, Go Bespoke Travel; and Tricia Beattie, Off Broadway Travel.
