Agents explore the Daintree

TOURISM Port Douglas Daintree recently hosted 35 agents on a three-day Domestic Mega Famil to experience popular attractions in the region.

Tourism Port Douglas Daintree Chief Executive Officer Tara Bennett said the trip aimed to put the destination at the forefront of agents’ minds in the competitive domestic travel market.

“Australians make up 65% of our visitor market and this activity was solely aimed at stimulating sales for travel in 2019 and beyond,” she said.

“The highlight of the weekend was certainly getting agents out and experiencing the destination for themselves on five different touring programs,” she added.

The group tested out 30 different products across accommodation, reef explorations, rainforest and wildlife experiences, and restaurants.

The famil also included one-onone workshops, followed by a networking dinner.
