Vertical Travel Group rewards agents with VIP Maldives trip

Vertical Travel Group has rewarded its top-selling agents by taking them on a luxury incentive trip to the Maldives.

 

Twenty leading agents from the Holiday Elite, Your Holiday Booking and Instant Holidays brands had a seven-night VIP experience, staying at the destination’s Sun Siyam Resorts.

 

The trip enabled agents to deepen their product knowledge, experience the resorts and strengthen their relationships with industry partners.

 

Hosted by Vertical Travel Group in partnership with Sun Siyam Resorts, the itinerary included island-hopping excursions, luxury spa treatments, fine dining and relaxation time.

 

Yvonne Leslie, Vertical Travel Group managing director, said: “Our agents work tirelessly to deliver exceptional holidays and service to their customers, and this trip is a way of saying thank you for their dedication and results.

 

“It’s also a fantastic opportunity for them to experience one of the world’s most desirable destinations, giving them invaluable first-hand knowledge to share with their clients.”

Agent Sarah Pratt said excursions included sunset cruises and snorkelling with eagle rays, adding: “We were treated like royalty by each of the three stunning resorts: Sun Siyam Olhuveli, Siyam World and Sun Siyam Iru Fushi. Each blew my mind with how beautiful they were.”

 

Kerry Zrodrowski added: “Being invited to the Maldives was more than just a rewards trip – it’s been an opportunity to explore a new destination, I never thought I would experience myself. I can’t wait to share the knowledge I have gained with my clients.”

 

Colette Byrne commented: “This was the best trip I’ve ever been on. Not just the beautiful islands and experiences we shared but the whole group was amazing.”

 

Julie Cliffe Jones said: “It’s taken 10 years for us to build our travel agency business from the ground up, and being based in the Canary Islands, we’ve always been remote workers in the truest sense of the phrase.

 

“The VIP sellers’ trips was always an objective, and it has been wonderful to share a week in the Maldives with the other top sellers in the business.”

 

Jo Allen-Boden, who celebrated her birthday in a private villa, commented: “It’s got to be the best birthday party I have ever had. A lifetime memory always with my Vertical Travel Group work family.”

 

Ahmed Naufal, group director of business development at Sun Siyam, said: “We were delighted to welcome Vertical Travel Group’s top-selling agents to Sun Siyam Iru Fushi, Sun Siyam Olhuveli and Siyam World and to showcase our diverse resort offerings across three of our five Maldivian resorts.

 

“The UK is our number-one market and we were honoured to share our Maldivian spirit of which we are so proud. We look forward to welcoming these agents’ customers and sharing the same level of Maldivian hospitality.”
