TAKE SOME TIME OUT TO “COME ON DOWN”
TO THE TRINIDAD & TOBAGO GAME SHOWS

Trinidad & Tobago is further reinforcing its commitment to being a trade-friendly destination by introducing 10 game show training sessions for travel agents across the UK.

Fun and educational, the evenings draw inspiration from the nation’s favourite game shows and will see teams of agents pit their wits against each other to win fantastic prizes, which include a holiday to Trinidad & Tobago, in rounds like ‘The TNT Generation Game’, ‘Coco Loco’, ‘Trinidad OR Tobago’ and a ‘Deal or No Deal’ raffle.

 “We were looking for a new training format to get travel agents even more excited about learning and our beautiful islands,” said Andrew Hillier, aspiring game show host and Sales & Training Manager for Trinidad & Tobago. “Supporting the trade remains a key priority this year and, in true Trinbagonian style we throw in some fun as well.”

Each evening will begin with a networking reception from 5:30 to 7:00pm; food and drinks will be served during the event, and the fun-packed evening will finish at about 10:00pm. The following dates and locations are confirmed:

Wednesday May 28th                       Edinburgh

Don’t forget… agents can register any Trinidad & Tobago bookings made (holidays, flight only, accommodation only, twin centres) at www.takesometimeout.com to win a place on the ‘Take Time Out’ trip to Trinidad & Tobago in December. A winner is drawn each month and will be featured in the Take Time Out advertising campaign, plus additional spot prizes are awarded so there are even more chances to win with T&T!
