Travel Counsellors for Business has hired its first-ever MD… as in managing director. Not medical doctor, as originally reported by Travel Weekly.

Independent travel company has found the Robin to its Batman; the Samwise Gamgee to its Frodo Baggins; the Scottie Pippen to its Michael Jordan… we could go on and on with this, but will stop right here.

It’s with great sadness that we announce this will be the last Aloha Friday Wrap for 2019. However, it’s with much joy that we can reveal it will be back in 2020!

Ten Travel Counsellors agents travelled to the islands of Kauai and Oahu this week on a famil with Hawaii Tourism Oceania.

This week’s Agent Wrap is a special fun-sized edition, meaning we cut it short so we could leave in time for Happy Hour.

Crawl that last mile towards the weekend with a slew of incentives, famils and updates from your favourite agencies, courtesy of your mates at Travel Weekly.

This agent wrap comes with an extreme FOMO warning. If you experience symptoms of jealousy and itchy feet when you read about agents’ jaunts around the world, we recommend you steer clear.

TCX revealed some important insights into how Travel Counsellors do what they do. Here are three that stood out from the conference in Adelaide.

Our roving reporter came down with “the flu” while at the Travel Counsellors conference in Radelaide earlier this month, hence the delay in publishing this.

If Travel Weekly’s agent wrap was a meal, it would be tiger prawn spaghetti with chilli and dun-dried tomatoes – full of flavour and slightly spicy.

What’s got bagpipes, loads of celebs and gave away over $200,000 worth of prizes? Why the Travel Counsellors annual conference of course!

Happy Friday, agents! If you’re not on a famil, don’t be sad, there are plenty of opportunities to score yourself a trip right here.
