Live the destinations you sell: Our brand-new portfolio of exclusive product trips

At Travel Counsellors, we believe first-hand experience is one of the most valuable tools for building a successful travel business. That’s why we’re introducing a brand-new programme of exclusive product trips, giving our franchisees the chance to experience the destinations they sell – and gain the insight needed to truly stand out.

Launching this October, the first trips in the series will take 27 Travel Counsellors to Sri Lanka, in partnership with Columbus Tours and Sri Lankan Airlines. Far more than a standard FAM trip, each itinerary has been designed to offer hands-on, in-depth learning in an unforgettable setting.

There are three unique trips, tailored to different levels of experience:

• Introduction to Sri Lanka – for those discovering the destination for the first time
• Sri Lanka Rediscovered – a deeper look at culture, history and hidden gems
• Sri Lanka Off the Beaten Track – exploring lesser-known experiences for seasoned visitors

“These trips allow our Travel Counsellors to live the destinations they sell,” says Natalie Aspinall, Senior Destination Manager. “It’s that genuine, personal insight that makes all the difference when creating tailor-made trips for customers.”

With more product trips planned for 2026 and beyond, this is just one of the many ways in which we support our Travel Counsellors through ongoing learning and development – giving them the confidence and knowledge to grow their business their way.
