Agents chill out on APT's Canadian famil
By admin


Some of Australia’s most proficient travel agents have recently returned from an exciting tour of Western Canada, courtesy of APT.

The group of agents were rewarded with this Canadian famil, which saw them travel from Victoria to Calgary via Vancouver, Whistler and the Rockies.

Flying with Air Canada, the group spent 10 days traversing across the country and experiencing the region’s finest sights, accommodation and hospitality.

Highlights included a private breakfast at the Butchart Gardens, a zip-lining treetop adventure in Whistler, and wildlife spotting tours in Jasper, with everything from Deer to Coyotes out on display.

The group was also fortunate enough to stay at some of the region’s best hotels and resorts, including the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge, Delta Ocean Pointe Victoria, Westin Whistler and Fairmont Waterfront Vancouver.
