Past ADE Events

Amazing Ntaba Experience

Six hand-selected Travel Advisors were taken on an incredible adventure exploring South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe through our partnership with Ntaba African Safaris.  Ntaba African Safaris specializes in developing intimate and authentic luxury safaris and African vacation experiences.  

Advisors enjoyed game drives in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserves, various site inspections at several lodges near Victoria Falls and so much more. Everything about this ADE was designed to give the Advisors the tools and familiarity they needed to confidently promote and sell African itineraries. 

Amazing Hawai'i Experience

Nine hand-selected Travel Advisors were taken on an immersive tour of the Hawaiian Islands, visiting O'ahu, the island of Hawai'i and Kaua'i thanks to our partnership with the Island Chapter Visitors Bureau.  This trip was specifically designed to equip the Advisors with the knowledge and skills to more effectively sell the Hawaiian Islands to their clients.  

A portion of the event was spent participating in an Island Destination Training Seminar and product updates from Highgate Hotels Hawai’i, among several hotel site visits throughout the trip. They explored the Polynesian Cultural Center, toured the 'Iolani Palace.  They experienced a sunrise ceremonial bathing in the sea to purify the body and spirit.  They took scenic tours, swam in waterfalls, went off-roading through the valleys and rainforests … and so much more. 

Amazing Thailand Experience

The inaugural ADE event took place in Bangkok and Phuket, Thailand. Over the course of several days,  the attending U.S. Travel Advisors experienced a full cultural immersion, which included: luxury accommodations at the beautiful Four Seasons Hotel, networking events hosted at off-site venues, 1:1 meetings with local suppliers and vendors, educational trainings, site inspections, culinary adventures + numerous excursions and local tours. 

Once their time in Bangkok and Phuket concluded, the Advisors had an opportunity to visit additional destinations and continue the immersive experience with kayaking in Krabi, visiting the Patara Elephant Farm, and touring the Na Thip Kasem organic rice farm.
