A new television travel show produced by Flight Centre has been cleared for take-off.

The show is to be featured on Network Ten from August, THE 48 HOUR DESTINATION will take viewers to the hottest locations in the world, backed by the expert advice of the people of the leading global travel retailer.

General Manager of Customer Experience for Flight Centre Travel Group, Darren Wright, said the program would consist of 13, half-hour episodes highlighting the knowledge and passion for travel through the eyes of the company’s consultants.

“THE 48 HOUR DESTINATION is a thirteen part travel series featuring Greer Gardiner, a Flight Centre travel consultant who is going to experience the best destinations around the world,’’ Mr Wright said.

“But here’s the catch, she’s only given herself 48 hours to experience everything she can. With the help of a local Flight Centre consultant she’ll be in good hands to have an experience of a lifetime,’’ he said.

Mr Wright said the television series was a first for the Flight Centre group.

“We are very pleased to announce that we have secured distribution on Network Ten free to air and streaming networks and will hopefully expand into new territories such as the New Zealand, UK, Canada and South Africa in the future

“It is a very exciting opportunity to showcase the most exciting destinations in the world in a fun and engaging format, with our knowledgeable team sharing valuable insights,’’ he said.

The show has been created and produced internally by Head of Creative Luke Wheatley and will feature destinations that the Flight Centre Group operates in including Queenstown, New York, Cape Town, Vancouver, Auckland, Japan, Darwin, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, Dubai, Phuket, London and San Francisco

THE 48 HOUR DESTINATION will start in Australia on August 27.
