Travel advisers looking for fresh ways to sell Ecuador can join a new webinar this month. It will bring the Galápagos Islands and Quito together in one neat, highly saleable journey.
Expedition Tours and The Unique Tourism Collection will host Uncover Ecuador: The Galápagos Islands & Quito on Wednesday, 22 July 2026. The session will run from 11.00 am to 11.45 am AEST and 1.00 pm to 1.45 pm New Zealand time.
Expedition Tours Operations Director Ana Maria Cordova and The Unique Tourism Collection Senior Account Director Louise Hill will lead the webinar. They will share ideas for tailor-made trips that link Ecuador’s famous wildlife islands with its historic capital.
Galapagos Islands
The Galápagos lie about 1,000 kilometres off Ecuador’s coast. They are known for bold volcanic scenery, rare animals and rich marine life. UNESCO regards the islands and their marine reserve as an exceptional showcase of evolution.
Quito offers a sharp and welcome contrast. High in the Andes, the city is prized for its well-kept historic centre, grand churches and handsome colonial streets. UNESCO says Quito has one of Latin America’s best-preserved and least-altered historic centres.
For travel sellers, that contrast is the main attraction. Clients can move from old stone plazas to giant tortoises, sea lions and blue-footed boobies in one well-planned holiday. Few itineraries can offer such a swift change of cast.
The presenters will explain how to tailor trips to each client’s interests, pace, and budget. They will also cover ways to blend nature, culture, history and adventure without making the journey feel rushed.
No passport is needed for the webinar. A decent coffee, however, may help with the armchair altitude.
Travel professionals can register by emailing Louise Hill.

Author Bio:
Alison Jenkins has lived most of her working life in the slipstream of aviation, where timetables matter, and people matter more. In airline sales, she built a reputation the old-fashioned way: by knowing her clients, her routes, and never missing the human detail.
Quick with a smile, quicker with a solution, she made deals with warmth and kept her edge intact.
Trade shows, FAMILS, airport lounges and hotel lobbies became her second address. And somewhere along the way, notebook in hand, she began writing the journeys rather than selling them. Her reports grew lively, observant, full of the small truths only travellers notice.
That was the moment it dawned on her: she wasn’t simply travelling. She belonged in its stories.
