3 Reason Why I Attend Fam Trips
1. Firsthand Experience of the Destination
Nothing replaces actually seeing, feeling, and experiencing the destination yourself. You get to:
Tour hotels, venues, and attractions in person
Assess service quality and ambiance
Understand the logistics like transportation and walkability
This helps you confidently recommend the destination to clients because you’ve been there.
2. Build Relationships with Key Hospitality Partners
FAM trips are powerful for networking:
Meet hotel sales managers, DMCs, CVB reps, and other suppliers
Form direct relationships that can speed up future planning
Gain insider knowledge and contacts you wouldn’t get from a website or email
3. Create Content & Boost Credibility
FAMs are ideal for content creation and personal branding:
Capture photos/videos for your social media or blog
Show clients you’re active and knowledgeable in the industry
Build credibility as a trusted travel or event professional
