Agents Travel to Fiji to Verify That it Truly Does Have the Friendliest People on Earth!

May 18, 2011 - PRLog -- Last month, Susie Baziuk of  Extra Mile Travel was one of nine travel professionals who recently returned from a 10-day trip to the islands of Fiji. The in-depth travel experience is part of the ongoing Ensemble Travel® Group South Pacific Specialist Program, designed to train select travel agents as leading destination specialists in their respective markets.
Susie was able to participate in this in-depth experience because of its membership in Ensemble Travel Group, a leading international organization of approximately 850 professional travel agencies in the U.S. and Canada. Many of the unique and exclusive travel benefits that clients enjoy are due to the agency’s affiliation with Ensemble Travel Group.
And what can travelers expect when they vacation in Fiji? Says Susie, "Prepare yourself for stunning natural beauty in the beaches, waterfalls, and brilliant flora, for starters. Fijians are also eager to share their islands’ history, culture, and artistry with travelers, along with their native dances and songs, which are often accompanied by traditional instruments such as thunderous drums and harmonic nose flutes."
And who can forget the genuine warmth and friendliness of the people? Their peaceful, relaxed manner is contagious. Although Fiji is often considered a fitting setting for destination weddings and other romantic getaways (and for good reason!), it is also the perfect place for a family vacation as many resorts specialize in children and teen programs. Baziuk can recommend the right resort for the right occasion.  
“As a travel professional, our job is to research and experience as much as we can about a destination before we can effectively sell it to our clients,” said Baziuk. “This is especially true in the case of an exotic, lesser-known destination like Fiji.
“In addition to the many pleasant surprises, I was impressed to see how affordable Fiji is. Many of the resorts are all-inclusive, providing significant savings and upfront knowledge of what the vacation will cost. This is a huge benefit to travelers,” said Baziuk.
Among the hotels and resorts visited during the Fiji trip were Sofitel Fiji Resort & Spa, Namale Resort and Spa, Matangi Private Island Resort Fiji, Vomo Fiji Island Resort, Sonaisalia Island Resort, Tokoriki Island Resort, and the Novotel Nadia Airport Hotel. One of the activity highlights was a four-wheel drive safari exploration of Nadia’s famous Mt. Batilamu, Sabeto Valley, and the Navilawa Village inside the Koroyanitu National Park. Other activities included multiple snorkeling outings, sailing, palm-weaving, henna applications, and the traditional meke (Fijian dances) and kava (Fijian drink) ceremonies.
