INCENTIVE: A $20k+ Galapagos Islands trip for two with World Expeditions
The World Expeditions Travel Group has released a travel agent incentive offering agents the chance to win a luxury cruise experience for two in the Galapagos Islands, valued at more than $20,000.
The winner will be the top-selling travel agent of scheduled trips with selected World Expeditions Travel Group brands (World Expeditions, Australian Cycle Tours, Australian Walking Holidays, Tasmanian Expeditions or UTracks) by 30 June 2024.
The winner and a friend will set sail aboard the first-class Solaris yacht for a 7-day journey through the Galapagos Islands. The prize includes $2000 towards flights from Australia, guided hikes to encounter the famous Galapagos wildlife and birdlife and expert naturalist guides to provide insights into this remarkable archipelago.
The Galapagos Islands: the volcanic home to marine iguana, the giant tortoise, blue-footed booby and a range of animals unique to the archipelago.
“The World Expeditions Group is thrilled to share this Galapagos Islands opportunity for our travel agent partners,” commented Sue Badyari, CEO of the World Expeditions Group.
“A visit to the Galapagos Islands is on the bucket list of many travel enthusiasts, and for most people represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Remember; more bookings equals more points and greater chance of winning. There are more than 1000 active adventures for agents to sell to get one step closer to winning this extraordinary prize.”
Agents accrue one point for each passenger booked on a 5-day or longer trip. Bookings must be made before June 30, 2024. For a complete list of eligible trips, detailed terms and conditions, and more information on the incentive, visit World Expeditions.
The winner will be announced in July 2024. Progress can be monitored via the monthly leader board on the World Expeditions webpage.
