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.”

Highlights of the trip include a guided tour of the Van Gogh Museum (home to the world-renowned ‘Sunflowers’ piece),  a visit to the  Anne Frank Museum (the house that tells the story of Anne Frank), and participants will get to experience the hustle and bustle of ‘Flora Holland’ (the indoor flower auction that compares in size to the city of Monaco).
