Signature Travel Network brought together approximately 70 agency owners for Horizon Club, an invitation-only recognition experience held across Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, from April 12 to 19, according to an announcement.

Hosted by The Travel Answers Group, the Horizon Club represents Signature’s recognition for agency owners.

“The Horizon Club trip was a fantastic opportunity for top Signature members to experience Australia’s unique culture and hospitality firsthand,” said Liam Sweeney, development manager at Tourism Australia.

“By spending quality time on the ground, everyone who attended has now gained their own personal stories and deep local knowledge they need to better connect their clients with everything Australia has to offer.”

The trip opened with a private dinner at the Sydney Opera House and concluded with an evening at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne.

“Signature Travel Network once again exceeded expectations with an exceptional Signature Horizon Club recognition trip,” said Robert Herman, owner of Riverdale Travel.

“The week opened with an exclusive dinner at the Sydney Opera House, featuring a live opera performance, and concluded with a private evening at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. In between, we cruised, explored iconic cultural landmarks, and experienced the warmth and diversity of Australia and its people.”

Herman also said that participants are now better equipped with firsthand knowledge to help their teams and clients create journeys to Australia.
