MTA-Mobile Travel Agents’ Amanda Erwin is brushing up on her Dutch after being chosen for an exclusive famil in the Netherlands.

Erwin was one of 20 Virtuoso advisors worldwide chosen to take part in the Dutch agent familiarisation next year.

“I’m thrilled to have been selected,” she said.

“It’s a place I sell regularly (in a normal year) but I’ve never visited, so I look forward to soaking up knowledge that I’ll be able to pass onto my clients and fellow MTA advisors.”
