Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach in Florida recently carried out a training session for the international team and product managers at the Barrhead Travel Headquarters in Glasgow.
The comprehensive training included in-depth product knowledge about the area, which is situated on the Southwest Gulf coast of Florida. It included its many outdoor experiences from beaches to boating, fishing to golf, nature discovery to shelling and collecting fossilized teeth. The presentation also included the variety of accommodation available, including the five-star Sunseeker resort which opened in December 2023, and the ease of access from international airports such as Fort Myers and Orlando.
Aimee Blenker, Director of Sales for Punta Gorda/ Englewood Beach comments: ‘Punta Gorda / Englewood Beach is a gem in the Florida offering, and we are delighted to have been given the opportunity to provide training to key staff at Barrhead Travel, recognising their pre-eminent position in that sector of the UK travel market. We look forward to working with them and other agencies to fulfil the needs of the UK and Irish inbound travelers”
This is the first session in a roll-out of training which is expected to include a full training session in Barrhead Travel’s Northern England facility and a series of 30-minute slots at the travel agent’s weekly team meetings.
