Time is a luxury, but travel trade can maximise this precious commodity to learn directly from touring and cruising leaders across three brands in one place at upcoming, immersive GFOB travel advisor events, giving you an edge for success in 2026.
Travellers are seeking something new and different that will transport their travels in unexpected ways, and they’re increasingly looking to expert advisors for guidance.
Enter Globus family of brands, presenting a series of 11 GFOB travel advisor events across Australia in February 2026 to share the latest discoveries, destinations and deals – from those who know.
These exclusive evening events will invite you into the GFOB world – Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways, providing inspiration, education and business networking opportunities over a delicious two-course meal.
You’ll meet Avalon Waterways Cruise Directors and Tour Directors from Globus and Cosmos for direct access to expert insights and tips into day-to-day operations, must-visit sightseeing sites and local highlights that make each trip even more memorable.
Why attend the GFOB travel advisor events?
Geared for travel advisors, these free events deliver the practical, value-added insights and one-on-one access to experts you can’t obtain from a sales brochure or webinar format.
You’ll hear from the people who bring the tours and river cruises to life and understand the pacing, inclusions and special moments that go beyond the itineraries.
From sightseeing must-dos and hidden highlights to the pros and cons of touring versus cruising (or both!), understanding how the itineraries unfold will assist you to set expectations, overcome objections and increase conversion.
Attendees at GFOB travel advisor events will boost their product knowledge across three distinct brands – Globus, Cosmos and Avalon Waterways – so you can identify upsell opportunities and recommend the right product that resonates with the right traveller.
You’ll also be first to know about what’s new and trending, enabling you to capitalise on popular and emerging destinations and seasonal demand for higher-value bookings and repeat sales.
GFOB travel advisor events are a must-attend for advisors who want deeper product knowledge, stronger sales confidence and a competitive edge in touring and cruising.
