As the original and fastest-growing guided independent touring operator in the industry, Costsaver has launched its first global familiarisation trip, the Costsaver Clique Top Achievers Trip, giving top selling agents from Australia (and around the world) the exclusive opportunity to experience its inaugural programme in Asia next year.
“Our Costsaver programme for 2019 is already proving a winning formula for agents, opening up touring to a whole new audience,” said Gavin Tollman, Costsaver’s Global CEO. “Thanks to the trade, who have embraced the Costsaver concept and our ‘Ready to Go’ rate, sales are already 30% up to date year on year, with a highly successful expansion across Europe, North Africa, USA, Canada and South America.”
Following the launch of Costsaver’s brand new Asia programme, the Costsaver Clique Top Achievers Trip, departing in May 2019, will visit Vietnam, offering agents the chance to trial Costsaver’s pioneering ‘Essentials by Us, Tailored by You’ concept first-hand.
Tollman continued: “As a sign of our appreciation to our top performing agents, and to equip them with the tools to sell even more Costsaver across the year ahead, we are offering an amazing opportunity to be part of the Costsaver Clique, and experience one of our brand new Asia tours first hand.”
Highlights on the Costsaver Clique trip will include soul-stirring Halong Bay, the buzz and excitement of Ho Chi Minh City, and the ancient trading town of Hoi An on Vietnam’s central coast, as well as a fun farewell evening to round off the adventure.
To qualify for a place on this epic trip, agencies simply need to have as many guests as possible booked (and paid for) on Costsaver’s industry-leading value tours by 31 March 2019, with a minimum of four passengers on the new Asia portfolio. Top selling agencies will receive a notification before the end of December 2018 to let them know they are in the running. Then in the months ahead, the shortlist will narrow, based on the agency’s sales of the Costsaver programme, and each one still in with a chance will receive regular postcard teasers revealing a new destination on the trip. Agencies that receive a fifth and final postcard will be sending one lucky member of staff on their way to Vietnam.
The place is offered to the agency, who will then allocate it to one of its top frontline sellers of Costsaver within the team. Any booking for 2019 will qualify, including historical sales made prior to the announcement of the Costsaver Clique Top Achievers trip. Winners will be announced on 1 April 2019 – though no April Fools here!
Renowned for its ‘Essentials by Us, Tailored by You’ approach to touring, Costsaver provides travellers with the fundamental elements such as quality three and four-star accommodation, comfortable transportation and the services of an expert Travel Director, alongside the building blocks to create their own perfect holiday. All optional excursions and experiences chosen by agents on the Costsaver Clique trip will be covered so that agents can understand and enjoy the Costsaver model to the max.
Costsaver’s new Asia programme officially starts in January 2019 and will serve seven countries – Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, India and Hong Kong – from just $206 per day; up to 30% less than the cost of fully independent travel.
