Peru puts the focus on agents

UNIQUE Latin America treated 25 agents to a three-course Peruvian dinner event at Sydney’s En Casa restaurant last week.

Attendees enjoyed Pisco Sour demonstrations, a live folkloric dance show, and guest presentations from Promperu tourism board & LATAM airlines.

The evening was topped off with a prize giveaway, with Roslyn Burgess from Helloworld Lane Cove nabbing a trip to Peru.

Burgess won a five-day Sacred Valley & Lares Adventure to Machu Picchu with Mountain Lodges of Peru, a three-night cruise on the Delfin III with Delfin Amazon Cruises, an immersive two-night eco-lodge experience at Refugio Amazonas with Rainforest Expeditions, plus international and internal airfares, courtesy of LATAM.

The educational dinner was one of the first activities under Unique Latin America’s new agent-focused strategy, which it says aims to put travel agents first and show them they are valued.

“Agents are always putting their customers first, so we wanted to put them first this time and show them just how valued they are at Unique Latin America,” said Unique Latin America Director Rebeca Espinoza.

During the event Espinoza urged agents to show their clients the “real Peru”, highlighting some of the most authentic experiences, from the Andean mountains to the Amazonian jungle.
