TrawellTag Cover-More, offering travel ancillary services like global, medical and concierge assistance, luggage tracking, travel insurance and global SIM, recently organised a ‘Travel Agents Engagement Programme’ on July 11,2014 at Radisson Blu, Indore. This is the fifth in the national series after Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Nagpur. The programme provided an information sharing platform which was made interactive with audience participation via quizzes and games. At the end of the workshop, the agents were provided with participation certificates. Speaking on the occasion, Dev Karvat, managing director, TrawellTag Cover-More said, “Less than 20 per cent of travellers consider opting for allied services from a travel agent. As a result of this programme we have seen the awareness levels change in the cities where this programme has been conducted and so we are optimistic that there is scope for such a programme. We plan to take it forward to 20 cities across the country in the next six months. We are positive that this training session will also be a step forward and boost the travel industry as a whole.” The objective of the programme is to spread awareness about travel insurance. The programme also broadly highlights the business development techniques, vision of company, and harnesses the current and potential status of the travel industry. Through this workshop travel agents benefit by getting knowledge on improving up sell and cross sell techniques.
