Proud to be a Top Producer
|
|
I was extremely proud to be given the designation of “top producer” in several Virtuoso Travel Advisor specialty communities this week.
It's a wonderful honour from my worldwide-luxury travel consortium, Virtuoso, for me to be named as a "top producer" amongst 20,000+ Virtuoso travel advisors around the world.
I have “top producer” status in the Virtuoso Adventure, Voyages (cruises), Wellness, and Family communities. Plus, I was invited to join the brand-new Sustainability community, based on my support of sustainable tourism.
It's so wonderful to have my hard work recognized - but - more importantly, to be helping you, my client, see the world in a meaningful way! Thank you for your trust, and your business. It means the world to me.
So - what does being a top producer mean to you? Well, there are lots of perks I am getting now as a top producer that can benefit you.

I had a great event with Intrepid about Australia this week. Unfortunately, we didn't get a huge turnout (those that came were very interested, of course) - perhaps the low turnout was because people were worried about the safety of travelling to Australia right now. But you shouldn't fear! The
vast majority of Australia was untouched by the fires. And the iconic tourist destinations were not touched at all!
There are many ways you can help with Australia’s recovery effort as fire-affected communities get back on their feet. Now more than ever, Australia needs your
support. Recovery is underway. But know, only 3-4% of Australia was directly impacted by recent bushfires!
I'd like to ask you start planning a trip to see Australia now, and consider donating.
START PLANNING A TRIP NOW: Travelling to Australia in the next six to 12 months is one of the most significant ways you can help long-term recovery. Most of Australia’s beautiful destinations have not been affected and are eager to welcome visitors. And, if you engage me to customize a trip for you to Australia, I'll donate your engagement fee to a recognized Australian
charity.
CONSIDER DONATING : Several organisations across the country are working tirelessly to help those affected by bushfires. Donating to a charity of your choice will provide much-needed aid to fire victims, fire services and wildlife rescues. Additionally,
the Australian Bushfire Appeal Intrepid Foundation and Adopt-a-Koala
Here are some important links. For updates on all regions of Australia, also see: the Tourism Australia Bushfire Info web: travel alerts ; the Bushfire info: interactive map, and how to: support
