Travel advisors have been putting some of the world’s most sought-after destinations to the test in the first half of 2026.
Personal Travel Managers from TravelManagers have enjoyed famil trips to Sri Lanka, South Korea and the American Southwest, giving them first hand insight to pass on to clients.
“Experiencing a destination first hand enables our PTMs to provide their clients with deeper insights, more personalised recommendations and greater confidence when planning their travels,” said Michael Gazal, Executive General Manager, TravelManagers.
Eight PTMs joined Intrepid for a seven-night Sri Lanka safari combining culinary, cultural and wildlife encounters, including a tea plantation lunch featuring 32 local dishes, a cooking class with a local family and a jeep safari at Minneriya National Park in search of elephants, leopards and sambar deer.
