Australia’s award-winning expedition company, AE Expeditions (part of Aurora Expeditions), has been announced as the newest member of the Bright travel agent training consortia and will be joining its high-quality training events across the UK.
AE Expeditions joins the consortium, comprising 10 fellow tour operators and cruise lines, as the group’s Expedition Cruise and Polar Regions specialist. Tapping into Bright’s incredible network of retail agents, AE Expeditions will be providing training on its life-changing voyages to polar destinations such as Antarctica (including Falkland Islands, South Georgia and Shetland Islands) and the Arctic (Greenland, Svalbard and Northwest Passage), as well as its state-of-the-art vessels, Greg Mortimer and Sylvia Earle.
“We are excited to be joining the Bright network, which has a fantastic reputation across the industry for creating such valuable agent training events. It cannot come at a better time for us with expedition travel being a key trend for consumers. We’re thrilled to be working closer with Bright’s leading operator members and cannot wait to meet all the participating agents in the coming months to discuss our expeditions to some of the world’s most remote and unspoiled destinations,” commented Andy Tait, Senior Business Development Manager (UK & Ireland).
“It’s wonderful to welcome AE Expeditions as a new reputable specialist brand to Bright. We know their team’s passion for working with the travel trade, and we very much look forward to helping introduce more of our travel agent partners to AE Expeditions in the months and years to come. Expedition cruising is very much in demand at the moment, and agents who introduce this new brand to their clients will find it extremely rewarding,” added Hisham Mahmoud, Chairman of Bright.
AE Expeditions will be joining Bright training events from September 2023, with upcoming dates and venues outlined below.
