Familiarization tourism
Familiarization tourism is often called just FAM tourism. It means that a business company sends its staff on educational tours to its branches or other business companies in other cities and countries.
If a travel company sends its travel clerks on FAM tours, it means that they will have educational visits to a tourist destination. There they will get familiar with local facilities, hotels, restaurants, and attractions. Normally a tour operator arranges FAM trips for the travel clerks from the travel agencies, selling its tourist products. Most often a tour operator arranges such trips to new travel destinations. The FAM tour members will also study the tour operator's or the local travel agency's practice.
The main purpose of travel clerks on a FAM tour is to get necessary knowledge from personal experience. When the travel clerks return home, they will know what to offer and what to explain to their customers about the destination.
Some experts say that FAM tourism is a part of incentive tourism. On the one hand, such a tour is an incentive to the travel agency staff
selling holidays. On the other, it is a benefit to the tour operator which arranges them.
FAM tourism is very popular and will become even more popular in future.
