Tour Week Returns at TTC Tour Brands – Here Are Your 2026 Fam Opportunities

Tour Week Returns at TTC Tour Brands – Here Are Your 2026 Fam Opportunities

Travel Market Report Canada joined a Trafalgar tour week fam group in Germany last year.

TTC Tour Brands has announced the return of its Tour Week program for travel advisors following two sold-out editions and what the global tour operator calls “overwhelming demand from travel advisors.”

For 2026, TTC Tour Brands is inviting advisors to join a dozen FAM trips around the world, highlighting top experiences from Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Contiki.

Designed as more than a traditional familiarization trip, Tour Week blends immersive travel, expert-led training and sales empowerment into a single, high-impact experience that helps advisors sharpen product expertise and return ready to sell with confidence.

Last year, TMR Canada joined a Trafalgar familiarization tour of Germany during TTC Tour Week, a trip that reinforced the pleasures and advantages of guided travel.

“Tour Week isn’t just about experiencing our trips, it’s about giving advisors hands-on experience and guidance that they can use to increase their sales potential,” said Whitney Ramirez, SVP Sales, TTC Tour Brands North America. “Advisors return from Tour Week more confident, more credible with clients, and better equipped to grow their businesses.”

In 2025 alone, the program attracted over 1,000 applications from North American travel advisors and garnered international recognition for its innovation in trade education.

The next Tour Week iteration will depart in March and May 2026. Advisors will experience a special FAM version of the below itineraries, highlighting the top experiences from each with immersive training across Trafalgar, Insight Vacations, Costsaver and Contiki.

Trafalgar’s Krista Erickson and Audra Biernacki accompanied the Germany fam group in 2025.

10 trips across 5 continents in March 2026, including:

Trafalgar – Best of Greece

Trafalgar – Essence of South Africa

Trafalgar – Best of Holland, Belgium & Luxembourg

Trafalgar – Southern Charms

Trafalgar – Best of Eastern Canada

Insight Vacations – Wonders of Turkey

Insight Vacations – Normandy, Brittany & the Loire Valley

Costsaver – Picturesque Portugal

Costsaver – South America Samba

Contiki – Vietnam Highlights

Two itineraries in May 2026:

Trafalgar – Canadian Rockies

Trafalgar River Cruise – Best of the Danube

The program focuses on three core benefits:

LEARN: Expert-led training and destination immersion

LAUGH: Relationship-building with peers and TTC teams

LEVEL UP: Sales tools and confidence that convert into bookings

“We created Tour Week to offer advisors something truly new and distinctive that they can’t find anywhere else,” said Ramirez. “The response has been phenomenal and underscores the demand for more engaging experiences within the advisor community.”

These FAM opportunities are now available for advisors in North America for USD$1,099 per person (land-only). Applications are now open and close January 9, 2026, with confirmations issued in mid-January.       

Travel advisors can apply now here.
