A milestone week for Tauck saw the luxury travel company host its largest-ever series of trade events in Australia.

Over the course of the week, Tauck held training academies in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, with 195 advisors becoming Tauck Certified after five hours of in-depth learning.

Tauck Managing Director Australia David Clark said the series of events was years in the making and reaffirmed the company’s commitment to the advisor community.

“At Tauck, we believe that our travel advisors are the heart and soul of our business,” he said.

“We’re excited to invest in their success and provide them with the tools and knowledge to excel in this dynamic industry.”

In line with this, Tauck brought in an impressive line-up of sales leaders from the US and Canada to support the initiative, forming the company’s largest ever delegation to Australia.

They included: Steve Spivak, VP Global Sales and Reservations; National Account Managers from the US, Jeff Bont, Karen Wayman, Steve Campuzano, Scott Peters, and Jenn Collins; Joe Scardigno, Head of Sales Canada; Megan O’Shea, Associate Director; Shauna Sullivan-Reilly, Sales and Marketing Director; and Tauck Cruise Director, Nick Coward.

Joining them were: Australia National Account Managers, Helen Eves and Jerry Pilgrim; Australia’s Head of Customer Service, Serisha Ramdhani; and MD Australia David Clark.

In addition to the academy events, Tauck’s team visited more than 100 agencies to deliver sales resources and merchandise. The Tauck team were also in attendance at five major travel expos and travel agency client events this week, further solidifying the brand’s investment in the Australian market.

“This week was all about showing our genuine appreciation, love, and support for our travel advisors,” Clark said.

“Our Australian partners play a pivotal role in connecting travellers with transformative Tauck experiences, and we’re here to ensure they have the best resources to succeed.”
