FAM Trips

Fam is short for ‘familiarisation’. ATSPB members be it Travel agents or Tour Operators go on familiarisation trips to learn first hand about the locations, airlines, tours, hotels and cruises they sell. This could mean staying at hotels, assuming the role of a safari goer, attending a cultural event or a guided tour of a country or city by the tourism board. Fam trips offer actual customer experiences to travel agents, so they can in turn best advise and recommend experiences to their customers.
However, it’s not a free holiday for travel agents. Fam trips involve a lot of hard work to fully capture every aspect of the travel experience. There’s often a lot of information to capture and very little downtime! During previous years Gujarat Tourism, Himachal Tourism and many Tour Operators have sponsored FAM Trips for ATSPB Members.
