THE Magellan Travel Group held its Annual Conference at Sea Temple in Palm Cove, Qld earlier this month, with over 90% of the network’s members in attendance.
CEO Andrew Macfarlane reported an excellent year for the group, which saw a 33% increase in member agents, to 61, and achieving an 84% increase in net income to around $3 million.
Macfarlane used the event to outline future plans at Magellan, which includes aiming for 75 member agents by 2012, and ultimately 100.
Along with the 100 participants was AFTA ceo Jayson Westbury, and Peter Sheehan, Amanda Gore and Basil Hyman who gave presentations on innovation and differentiation, leadership and culture and digital & social media.
