Familiarization (FAM) Trips

What is a FAM Trip?

The New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau will invite domestic and international tour operators, airline agents, AAA, meeting planner and corporate executives for buyer education trips (BETs), and travel agents to our area to educate and showcase our destination for our top leisure feeder markets. To put these on, we will need rooms, meals, and activities on a complimentary basis/in-kind donation*.

What do you get? A chance to be written up in domestic and/or international publications, and the opportunity to have travel agents stay and explore our area and sell your property.

For more information on hosting FAM trips, contact New Smyrna Beach Area Visitors Bureau.
