There’s a lot to gain from Spain, agents told
Travel agents in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide have been hearing about the best ways to incorporate the recently launched Renfe Spain Pass and the France-Spain TGV high-speed services into their travel programmes.
Rail Plus joined forces with Turespana (Tourist Office of Spain), department store El Cortes Ingles, Spain and Portugal Travel Connection and Emirates in a roadshow outlining product offerings.
Vien Cortes from Turespana kicked off with a presentation on the country’s major features including art, food, history and a vibrant party scene.
Emirates reminded agents of the carrier’s 21 weekly flights between Dubai and Spain, highlighting agents’ access to Renfe’s rail network, children’s discounts and links to AVE rail services from Madrid and Barcelona via EK’s booking system
Rail Plus reminded agents that unlike the Eurail Spain Pass, which offers travel days within two months, the Renfe Spain Pass works on the number of journeys (4,8,10 or 12) within a month.
Spain and Portugal Travel Connection shared some of their Spanish holiday packages on offer; and Lisa Dinh from El Cortes Ingles captured the agents’ shopping interest with the personal shopper service and discounts offered by the department store.
