A competition giving 100 travel agents worldwide the chance to join a fam trip to the Galapagos Islands has been introduced by HX (Hurtigruten Expeditions).
Agents need to make a booking for any HX Expedition voyage during wave to win a place on the trip, sailing on board small expedition ship MS Santa Cruz II.
Once the booking is completed, HX will enter the agent into a prize draw to be in with the chance of winning one of the 100 places available. Winners will be announced during the wave period.
The competition coincides with a dedicated B2B helpdesk being established to support agents during wave.
The support line will prioritise requests and questions from agents to help them make bookings in the peak booking period.
HX is covering the cost of flights, transfers and hotels across selected departures for bookings made before March 31. The promotion applies to voyages to Alaska, Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, the Northwest Passage, Svalbard and selected Galápagos sailings between March 29, 2024 and March 30, 2025.
Sales and marketing vice president Nathaniel Sherborne said: “Our competition is not only an opportunity to reward and recognise agents’ efforts towards driving bookings for HX voyages, but it’s also an opportunity to immerse themselves and understand our offering in what is proving to being one of our most popular destinations with guests.
“The competition is just one of many new initiatives planned for this year globally and in the UK as part of our ongoing support and commitment to our trade partners.”
