Why It's Important?
The initiative underscores the significance of experiential learning for travel managers in the luxury travel sector, which has seen substantial growth driven by demand for personalized experiences. By equipping PTMs with in-depth knowledge of destinations like Los Cabos, TravelManagers aims to enhance its service offerings and cater to the high-spending Australian market, where luxury international holidays can cost between $15,000 to $25,000 per person. This move is likely to strengthen TravelManagers' position in the competitive luxury travel market, ensuring that PTMs can offer tailored experiences that meet the evolving preferences of affluent travelers.
