FAMs provide travel agents with a taste of the destination information that you can bring back home to your clients and groups. FAMs allow you to network with other travel professionals. What s included? Land only unless otherwise specified; ask about our air add-on from your airport. Most meals are included. The number of meals will be on your final documents, which are sent approximately two weeks prior to departure. Who qualifies to travel on a FAM?
