FAM Travel for Canadians is an independent resource created to help Canadian travel advisors find information about FAM trips, agent rates, supplier training, webinars, booking incentives, advisor tools, and travel industry opportunities.
This website is for Canadian travel advisors, new advisors, home-based agents, agency owners, and travel professionals looking for advisor-friendly resources and updates.
A FAM trip, or familiarization trip, is a travel opportunity that helps advisors learn about destinations, resorts, cruise lines, hotels, tours, and travel products so they can better recommend them to clients.
Not always. Some FAM trips may be hosted or discounted, but advisors may still need to pay airfare, taxes, fees, transfers, insurance, tips, excursions, or other costs.
Many suppliers may ask for proof of active advisor status, agency affiliation, completed training, supplier registration, business card, agency email, photo ID, or host agency confirmation.
Common examples may include ACTA, CLIA, IATA/IATAN, TIDS, TRUE, host agency confirmation, supplier portal access, training certificates, agency email, business card, or proof of recent sales.
