Helen Wong's Tours gets quizzical
By admin


This year, the team at Helen Wong's Tours took its annual travel trivia challenge beyond Sydney, with events held for the first time in Canberra, Melbourne and Perth.

The evenings, supported by the Macau Government Tourist Office, attracted good volumes of agents with the Saigon table taking top place at the Canberra event, with Siem Riep the winners of the Melbourne event and Hangzhou the victors in Perth.

"The response to these nights was overwhelming – in all three cities," marketing manager Kevin Du said.

"All contests were keenly fought out all the way. Judging by the high scores, they certainly knew a great deal about China and Vietnam as well as our brochure products."

""

Helen Wong's Canberra winners – the Saigon table was made up of a mix of agents from Travelscene, Flight Centre and independent agency Jamison Travel.

""

Helen Wong's Melbourne winners – the Siem Reap table was up of agents from Flight Centre and Escape Travel.

""

Helen Wong's Perth winners – the Hangzhou table was made up of members of various Student Flights and Flight Centre agencies.
