Destination Canada and Virtuoso teamed up to host the first ever study tour out of the Australian and NZ market for Virtuoso Advisors, visiting Vancouver and Whistler in British Columbia, as well as Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, renowned to be the Aurora Capital of the World.
Seven Virtuoso Advisers were hosted by Virtuoso Lead, Account Director, Michelle Duncan and treated to white-glove service, bespoke experiences, and knowledge-building touchpoints.
Commenting on the famil, Michelle Duncan said, “Virtuoso Study Tours provide ongoing support, surpassing standard educational programs to reinforce learning and reiterate resources. The knowledge gained through these tours is shared with the entire Virtuoso network via post-trip recorded calls and updates from participating Advisors on their sales success with the product and destination.”
During the journey, Advisors experienced a variety of unforgettable activities, including zodiac excursions, a market food tour, Michelin dining, Grouse Mountain adventure, 4×4 glacier viewing safari, photography tour with bear viewing, ziplining, helicopter flights, seaplane flights, and a stay at the iconic Blachford Lodge accessed by a 25 minute float plane from Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories, where they got to experience one of the world’s best Aurora.
