Collette to Host Virtual Advisor Event Featuring Designer of Chile & Argentina Tour

Collette to Host Virtual Advisor Event Featuring Designer of Chile & Argentina Tour

Dancing at El Ombu Ranch in Argentina.

Collette is continuing its popular Tour Series with a brand‑new virtual event designed exclusively for travel advisors. On February 19 at 12 p.m. ET, advisors are invited to join host Kelsie Marchetti for an in‑depth conversation with Sam Kern, the designer behind Collette’s Explorations tour through Chile and Argentina. 

This immersive session will transport advisors into the heart of South America—where warm Pampas air drifts across the plains, the smoke‑kissed aroma of a traditional estancia asado fills the air, glasses clink in Mendoza’s celebrated wine country, and Buenos Aires comes alive after dark. 

As part of the Tour Series, this event gives advisors a deeper look at how Collette’s tours are crafted and what makes them resonate with travellers seeking meaningful, culturally rich experiences. 

During the conversation, Kern will share: 

  • Who this Explorations tour is designed for, and the traveller profile that thrives in a small‑group setting.
  • How intimate group sizes unlock deeper cultural access, transforming the travel experience. 
  • Which immersive inclusions bring guests closer to local life, from culinary traditions to meaningful community encounters.
  • How the itinerary flows across Chile and Argentina, offering just‑right pacing and a thoughtful balance of exploration and connection. 

“Explorations is built for travellers who want to feel the heartbeat of a destination,” said Kern. “This itinerary brings them closer to culture in a way that’s personal, authentic, and unforgettable.” 

Marchetti will guide the discussion, ensuring advisors walk away with a clear understanding of how this tour moves, what sets it apart, and how to position it confidently to clients seeking deeper, more immersive travel. 

Travel advisors can register now to secure their spot in this Tour Series event.  Access to an on-demand version will be available for those that register but are unable to attend the live event.
