The Travel Corporation’s TTC Tour Brands division has unveiled a new initiative called "Tour Week" aimed at providing travel advisors with firsthand experience of its guided tour offerings across six of its brands. Set to launch in March 2025, the program will host more than 500 travel advisors on 13 different itineraries worldwide.

The initiative will showcase tours from Trafalgar, Brendan Vacations, Contiki, Costsaver and Insight Vacations.

"Tour Week will offer a wide range of brands, experiences, & destinations, and even some special interest trips for new advisors those under 40 [years old]," said Melissa DaSilva, interim CEO of TTC Tour Brands. "Tour Week represents one of our most significant initiatives to date, designed to allow advisors to experience all the benefits of a tour firsthand, and better understand the differences between the six amazing brands in our portfolio."

Each fam trip will focus on a specific brand and theme, reflecting current travel trends. The itineraries will also include a Make Travel Matter Experience, a celebration dinner and educational workshops. TTC Tour Brands leadership, including Josh Hepp, vice president of Accounts, and Ashley Woodring, vice president of Sales, will participate in general sessions to educate advisors about touring and selling TTC Tour Brands.
