Independent operator Sunvil is strengthening its UK sales team, with a trade sales manager joining next month and sales executives being recruited for the north and the south of the UK.
The expansion is part of the operator’s strategy to develop its trade partnerships as it marks its 50th anniversary in 2020.
It will also run a sales incentive during February, offering agencies that book two holidays the chance to enter a draw to win a place on a seven-night Greece educational in May.
The trip will take eight participants to five Greek destinations – Zagori, Parga and Sivota and the Ionian islands of Lefkas and Meganissi. All flights will be carbon offset by Sunvil.
Chris Wright, Sunvil managing director, said: “For five decades, we have been proud to build an incredible network of trusted partners in each of the destinations we offer. At home, we have an equally strong and important relationship with our agent partners.
“As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, Sunvil is committed to building on these vital relationships still further with a number of initiatives planned throughout the year, including this special incentive to mark our 50th year milestone.”
The operator has also unveiled brochures for 2020, with the new destinations of Sao Tome and Principe (pictured), and Finland.
There are new holidays to Greece and Scandinavia by rail, and a wider range of options for travelling by public transport when on holiday.
The operator’s portfolio includes Greece, Cyprus, Italy, Sicily, Portugal, the Azores, Spain, the Nordics and Latin America.
