Fareconnect hosts successful FAM at Iberostar Selection Playa Mita

What do you get when you rally 40 passionate travel agents together for a week of fun and learning in Mexico’s lush Riviera Nayarit region?  

One spectacular FAM trip.

That’s one way to sum up Fareconnect’s recent mega-familiarization trip from Dec. 1-6.

The immersive experience, held at all-inclusive Iberostar Selection Playa Mita, showcased all the splendid offerings and local charm of Riviera Nayarit, a 200-mile stretch of coastline on Mexico's Pacific coast between the Sierra Madre Mountains and port of San Blas.

The trip, hosted by Fareconnect’s business development manager, Jason Gignac, allowed travel pros to immerse themselves in the culture and beauty of the region, giving them the firsthand experience they need to recommend Iberostar Selection Playa Mita with confidence to their clients.

The itinerary was packed with engaging activities, showcasing the resort’s amenities and local attractions.

Surfing town Sayulita was one of the highlights. Known for its laid-back atmosphere, colourful streets and beautiful beaches, the destination provided a perfect escape for the agents to explore. They enjoyed wandering the vibrant town, soaking up its welcoming energy.

Participants also participated in a cooking class, where they learned the art of making traditional ceviche and guacamole. The fun and interactive experience brought the group closer together while also giving them authentic insights into the rich culinary traditions of the region.

The group then had a chance to perfect their putt during a special golf clinic at the resort, where a pro from Canada offered expert tips and guidance. The clinic was a perfect opportunity for both seasoned players and beginners to refine their skills.

In another memorable moment, the group took part in a heartwarming turtle release ceremony. Guests had the opportunity to help release baby sea turtles into the Pacific Ocean, an eco-friendly activity that aligned with Iberostar’s commitment to sustainability and marine conservation.

Finally, the trip featured a beautiful renewal of wedding vows ceremony, where Cindy and Rick Gaudet participated in this emotional moment. Set against the backdrop of the resort, it was a reminder of the special memories that can be created at Iberostar Selection Playa Mita.

“It was an absolute pleasure to share such a remarkable experience with this wonderful group of travel agents,” said BDM Jason Gignac in a press release. “We wanted to offer them more than just a glimpse of the resort – we wanted them to truly experience what makes the Iberostar Selection Playa Mita so unique.”

“From the activities to the vibrant local culture, this trip gave them the opportunity to connect, learn, and create lasting memories that they can now share with their clients.”
