Travel agents are being told to expect more river cruise sales from clients as APT adds new expo dates around Australia.
These nationwide free series of events are designed to bring the award-winning luxury travel operator’s portfolio to life for prospective clients, while at the same time driving increased business for travel agents.
According to Lee Moore, owner of helloworld Melville, they not only serve to educate clients but also deliver outstanding financial benefits.
“When APT ran its last round of consumer Expo events we saw the opportunity to take a potential group booking along with us.”
