Years of building relationships are creating fresh opportunities to showcase Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast to UK travel agents.
Capricorn Enterprise recently delivered four consecutive 30-minute sales training webinars, through Vista, the in-house tour operator and B2B brand of Hays Travel, the UK’s largest independent travel agency. Eight (8) agents participated in each session, representing 32 agent attendances across two hours of training, conducted 6:30pm to 8:30pm to ensure optimal attendance with the time difference, with one session recorded to be supplied on their agent HUB.
The opportunity grew from ongoing meetings with Hays at the Australian Tourism Exchange (ATE), QLD is Calling events in the UK and Tourism Australia’s Marketplace UK/Europe.
The sessions showcased all of our region’s trade-ready operators, with agents showing genuine enthusiasm for the destination. Hays Travels’ east coast itinerary already includes one night in Yeppoon, with a suggested day trip to Great Keppel Island, providing a valuable connection between destination training and holidays agents can sell.
Hays Travel book through their ITO, Southern World – a partner that Capricorn Enterprise has been working hard to ensure contracts and connects with more of our product as we continue to grow awareness of our destination in the international space.
