Trafalgar Announces 2019 Incentive Trip Destination

WHY IT RATES: It will be an exciting year for the Agents in Action winnters.—Codie Liermann, Associate Editor

Leading global guided vacation company, Trafalgar, has announced that its annual Acclaim trip, the highest achievement of the brand’s Agents in Action incentive program, will visit Africa in 2019.

Advisors will experience Trafalgar’s newest destination during a 10-day trip throughout South Africa, complete with plenty of VIP surprises along the way. Starting in Cape Town, the winning agents will experience highlights from the top-selling Essence of South Africa trip, including ascending the iconic Table Mountain and exploring Cape Peninsula.

Agents will enjoy it all, from trendy Camps Bay to Cape Point to the penguins of Boulder’s Beach and experiencing an exclusive Be My Guest lunch with a family in their 18th Century Cape Dutch home in the majestic Cape Winelands.

The trip will culminate in Trafalgar’s inaugural Gala en Rouge, held in a top-secret venue. Trafalgar will continue to unveil surprises surrounding the trip in the coming months as advisors get closer to securing their spots.

“We always put agents first and recognize the importance of providing our valued partners with an opportunity to experience first-hand the incredible experiences and moments that Trafalgar offers their customers as well as our brand innovation,” says Gavin Tollman, CEO of Trafalgar.

“With our seven brand-new African itineraries now launched and off to an extraordinary start, it was the perfect choice to take our Acclaim agents to South Africa in 2019.”

To qualify for the Acclaim trip, advisors must book 40 guests, make one booking online and book across four continents. Advisors will be notified via email to mark their progress and will also be rewarded with surprise and delights along the way.

While working up to the Acclaim level of the Agents in Action program, agents who book six guests will achieve Access level and receive a surprise treat; agents who book 20 guests, make one booking online and book across two continents will achieve Ambassador level and receive another surprise treat and an exclusive reservations line.

Hailing from South Africa, the destination is particularly special to Tollman, who is excited and proud to unveil the destination to Trafalgar’s Acclaim winners.

“Africa sits very high on many people’s wish-list, but until you go there, you don’t really understand how it will change you. It’s one of those places that, when you leave it, you understand the very essence of the reason we travel.”

“The Acclaim trip is renowned as the industry’s best trade incentive. And with us returning to our family’s roots, our agent partners are guaranteed that this will be an extraordinary trip, to an extraordinary destination, that will be spoken about for years to come. We are pulling out all the stops,” adds Tollman.

Advisors can increase their bookings by taking advantage of Trafalgar’s 10 percent early payment discount (EPD) on Europe & Britain vacations running through January 31, and a 5 percent EPD on all other regions running through February 28.
