Agents can gain valuable benefits through Famous Agents, our new travel agent education and recognition program.

Famous Agents is easy to enroll in at the website, where agents review three lesson modules and answer corresponding multiple-choice questions, only taking about 30 minutes. After submitting an online application form, agents receive a personalized membership number, which can be used immediately to track client reservations and earn points that can later be redeemed for free room nights.

And because points are earned for reservations in all room categories and wholesale bookings, Famous Agents members can quickly look forward to a vacation at any Fairmont, Raffles or Swissotel destination.

Through ongoing learning opportunities, travel agents gain valuable knowledge about the various amenities and services that will enable them to arrange distinct and memorable activities for clients, thereby maximizing commissions through higher sales. And, staying up-to-date is made easy with bi-monthly e-newsletters containing the latest news and developments as well as client and member-only offers, which are sent directly to Famous Agents members.
