When the sun set on TravelManagers’ annual National Conference in Perth recently, most of the attending personal travel managers (PTMs) were packing their bags, ready to head to their home towns and eager to put into practice all that they had learned over the preceding three days. For thirteen PTMs however, this would have to wait: first, a much-anticipated visit to the Kimberley region awaited.

The thirteen PTMs (two of them accompanied by their partners) were taking part in a five-day famil hosted by APT and offered as part of the pre- and post-conference programme. They were accompanied by APT’s Danielle Tosin and Lisa Gair (Business Development Coordinator – Head Office Melbourne and Business Development Manager – NSW, respectively).

For most of the participants, it was their first visit to this stunning northern most region of Western Australia.
