100 agents escape to New Zealand…

100 agents escape to New Zealand…

The Travel Corporation’s Great Escape has officially kicked off, and agents are lapping up the opportunity to see the world with some of the renowned TTC brands.

From Trafalgar and Insight Vacations to Contiki and Creative Holidays, agents on this mega famil are in for a right treat over the next 10 days or so.

But we’re getting ahead of ourselves! Agents on Friday started the famil with a little exploration with our friends across the ditch. Agents from across Australia boarded last week to unleash their fabulousness on the big wide world, and as you can see, they were stoked to get started.

Hopping aboard the AAT Kings bus, agents got to visit Hobbiton, Rainbow Springs and the elusive little Kiwi birds, and even saw some sheep shearing demonstrations because you just know the Kiwis love their sheep. 

Day two saw the army of agents trek to Rotorua, where the mud is thick and the smells are pungent. The crew spent some time with baby lambs, watched sheep dogs do their thing, and rode  the luge down a hill in a heated race.

But sadly, we had to leave the land of sheep and fush and chups for the City of Angels in sunny California. Long haul flights and compression socks, here we come – the wonderful land of the United States awaits.
