At AS Training, we are incredibly proud of our apprentices and the unique opportunities they are offered to expand their knowledge and experience the world first hand. One such apprentice is Millie from Pure Travel, who recently had the amazing opportunity to attend Gold Medal’s Mega Fam trip, a prestigious event designed to give travel professionals a hands-on experience in some of the world’s most exciting destinations.
Millie’s journey took her to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where she stayed in some of the finest luxury hotels and experienced these iconic destinations like never before. The Mega Fam trip, organized by Gold Medal, is known for providing agents with immersive learning experiences. This year’s trip was bigger and better than ever, showcasing incredible destinations like the Maldives, Mauritius, Thailand, Abu Dhabi, and culminating with a fabulous stay in Dubai’s One&Only Royal Mirage.
Millie shared her excitement, saying, “I was given the most amazing opportunity to experience the Mega FAM trip with Gold Medal, and all I can say is that it was the most incredible trip I have been a part of! From start to finish, it was jam-packed with extraordinary experiences and luxury stays with the best group I could have asked for.”
Her highlights included visiting the Grand Mosque, which she described as “picturesque and peaceful,” and staying at the stunning Bab Al Shams Resort and Spa, a luxury desert retreat she now recommends to her customers who are seeking a high-end, unique travel experience.
These experiences are not just about travel but about gaining real-world insights into destinations, hotels, and services that Millie can now confidently pass on to her clients. She returned home not only with lasting memories but also with valuable knowledge that will help her in her role as a travel consultant.
The Importance of First-Hand Experience
Fam trips, like the one Millie attended, are an essential part of the travel industry. They provide travel professionals with the first-hand experience necessary to confidently recommend destinations and itineraries to clients. Millie’s experience in Abu Dhabi and Dubai will undoubtedly enhance her ability to create personalized travel experiences, making her an even more valuable asset to her team at Pure Travel.
A Big Thank You to Gold Medal

The Power of Apprenticeships in the Travel Industry
Millie’s story is a perfect example of how apprenticeships in the travel industry open doors to incredible opportunities. These experiences not only help apprentices gain essential knowledge and skills but also allow them to network with industry leaders and explore destinations first-hand. Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to start a career in travel, providing real-world experience, mentorship from industry professionals, and opportunities for growth.
