Visit Fairfax recently hosted a familiarization tour for German tour operators from DERTOUR and Meiers Weltreisen, two of Germany’s largest operators for North America. The tour was an ideal way to showcase the destination to the German market, given the companies’ large customer base in the fly/drive market.
