TIPTO to appoint 15 agent ambassadors
TIPTO is looking for 15 agents to join its new Agent Ambassador Programme, which will give them a say on the organisation’s strategic direction.
The agent ambassadors will join the TIPTO leadership team and its general meetings and they will be encouraged to make suggestions and add value to its current events.
The agent ambassadors will also benefit from guaranteed invites to special TIPTO Ambassador and VIP events such as Ladies Day at the Races, TIPTO’s afternoon tea at the Ham Yard Hotel and, new for 2018, a lunch at The Ivy.
They will also be invited to take part in important round table discussions and focus groups.
To be eligible, agents must regularly attend TIPTO roadshow events and be registered at www.tipto.co.uk.
TIPTO’s 24 supplier members can also make recommendations and suitable ambassadors may be approached directly by TIPTO.
TIPTO Chairman Jane Atkins said: "The importance of this programme is two-fold: it will allow us a front row seat with travel agents, helping us to understand the ever changing challenges of today’s fast paced industry; and it will give us the best direction on how to successfully implement exciting changes that will have an impact for agents.
"Knowledge is power and this level of insight will be invaluable to TIPTO, setting it apart from its competitors."
