PTM experiences Portugal

THE National Travel Industry Awards’ ‘Most Outstanding Mobile/Home-Based Travel Advisor’, TravelManagers’ Rose Febo (pictured), has sampled a luxury river cruise in Portugal.

The personal travel manager cruised the Douro River with Scenic Luxury Cruises & Tours, capturing her experience on her travel blog, which includes a YouTube video (CLICK HERE).

Febo, who is TravelManagers’ representative for Hawthorne, Queensland, says Portugal has long been on her wish list of destinations to explore, so she was delighted when the opportunity arose to visit via a self-famil.

“It was also my first experience with river cruising, which I absolutely loved; the intimacy of the experience and the incredible service every step of the way made it truly exceptional,” she said.

“I particularly loved the personalised butler service that is a hallmark of Scenic’s luxury river cruises, and the destination itself was incredible.”

TravelManagers Executive General Manager Michael Gazal said famils such as the one experienced by Febo are providing PTMs with vital firsthand experience not just of spectacular destinations like the Douro Valley but also of the flight uncertainties and airport disruptions that their clients may experience when travelling internationally in the current environment.

“These are essential tools in providing clients with reliable, upto-the-minute itinerary planning and advice,” he noted.

“In addition, TravelManagers’ partnership with Signature Travel Network ensures that our PTMs have access to an incredible wealth of luxury travel experiences, and they are relishing being able to experience them for themselves while also sharing them with their clients.”
