Following the success of their 40th Anniversary Fam in 2010 for 40 North American agents, this May Goway invited 44 agents to journey from North America on one of four itineraries for special Downunder training.

The groups arrived in Sydney having explored Fiji, Tahiti, New Zealand or other parts of Australia. Each educational was designed to offer firsthand experience of the destinations—from shark feeding in Bora Bora; an Amazing Race in Fiji; to helicopter rides over the Great Barrier Reef. Melanie Gatzke from AMA Travel loved “holding Walter the Koala (Goway’s sponsored koala), feeding kangaroos, snorkeling for the first time on the Great Barrier Reef and taking my first helicopter tour over the Great Barrier Reef. Oh, and the photos I was able to get!”

The company’s commitment to the South Pacific made this Mega Educational unique. In Sydney, the agents attended a training workshop with over 50 suppliers and a celebratory dinner, all handled by the management and staff of the Sydney office, the local contact for all travelers booked with Goway.

Ruth Louie from Best Connections Travel chose to celebrate her birthday with Goway. “It was a great trip. I got a really good feel for the country for my clients. The awesome beauty of the New Zealand landscape was breathtaking. As agents we’re always looking for ways to offer new and diverse activities to our clients. And Goway pulled it all together for us and kept the program moving along.”
