PATA will host a series of virtual training events for agents after all destinations in the Asia Pacific region were removed from the UK’s red travel list.

The first event, on 20 October, will be PATA Pictionary, designed to test not only agents’ knowledge of the Asia Pacific region but also their artistic skills!

This will be followed by PATA’s first-ever virtual Training Treasure Hunt on 24 November.

The two new formats will complement PATA’s established roster of online ‘gameshows’ where attendees hear from four Asia Pacific presenters before testing their knowledge to win prizes.

PATA Account Director Matt McCausland said: “Video platforms continue to make it relatively easy for us to stay in touch with agents, however we recognise it’s important to keep looking for more inventive ways to engage with our agents.

“With the hugely successful return of Taste of PATA last month, our in-person events have begun to resume soon but we recognise that there is still a huge demand for online events, as we head towards 2022 we’ve got lots of exciting plans for both online and in-person.”

All virtual training events are free for agents to attend.
