Travel Counsellors rewards top 10 agents with Oman trip

Travel Counsellors has hosted 10 of its business owners on a four-day trip to Oman in recognition of their achievements.

The annual Winners Trip brought together agents recognised at the company’s annual conference and other top performers, including established corporate and leisure specialists and newer business owners.

The trip was designed to celebrate their achievements, strengthen relationships and give agents the opportunity to share ideas and develop their destination knowledge.

The group stayed at The Chedi Muscat and visited the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque and Muttrah Souk.

The itinerary also included lunch at Abood’s Organic Farm, an overnight stay at Canvas Club in Wahiba Sands, a traditional desert dinner and stargazing.

Agents also enjoyed a swim in a wadi and a final dinner on the beach.

Travel Counsellors group chief commercial officer Kirsten Hughes said: “Some achievements deserve more than a trophy and a round of applause. This trip was our opportunity to say a very big – and very genuine – thank you to ten brilliant business owners.

“Oman gave us a spectacular backdrop, but the best bit was the time together – having proper conversations, learning from peers, swapping ideas and celebrating what each person has achieved. Experiences like this are about more than recognition.

“They give our Travel Counsellors the opportunity to step away from the day-to-day, strengthen relationships, share knowledge and return to their businesses with new ideas and first-hand insight they can use to create even more personal experiences for their customers.”

The trip was organised with support from The Chedi Muscat and destination management company Silent Sands Oman.

Deepak Menon, director of sales and marketing at The Chedi Muscat, said: “It was an absolute pleasure to welcome the Travel Counsellors group to The Chedi Muscat.

“We greatly value the partnership we have built with Travel Counsellors and were delighted to play a part in making this special trip such a success.

“We look forward to welcoming the Travel Counsellors community back to Oman in the future.”
