G Adventures’ √úber Massive Incentive (UMI) will return for the third year in 2014 with 12 travel prizes up for grabs.

Travel agents from across Australia and New Zealand have until June 30 to get involved with the top three sellers, as well as nine randomly drawn winners, to receive places for them and their friends on a G Adventures tour. The top sellers will be based on passenger numbers.

“We are always looking for ways to reward our network of talented travel agents and there is no better way than getting them out on the trips they are selling.” G Adventures’ Australia and New Zealand chief Belinda Ward said. “It’s not only the top-sellers who will be rewarded, everyone has a chance of winning a trip for themselves, their friends and family to some of the most amazing destinations the world has to offer.”

Insurance firm SureSave is giving Australian travel agents the chance to share in more than $7000 worth of prizes in its "Take Off in 2014" sales incentive.

Until 31 January, agents who sell SureSave policies and tell us why they want to "take off with SureSave" will be eligible to win one of three Red Balloon Experience Vouchers valued at $150 each.

While three winners have been selected as the recipients of the first week's prizes, more experiences remain up for grabs.

 

The inaugural Fiji International golf tournament will take place at the Natadola Bay Championship Golf Course from August 14 to 17, organisers have confirmed. 

The PGA Tour of Australasia and OneAsia sanctioned event, launched in September, will boast a minimum prize purse of US$1 million and is confirmed for a five-year period.

 

InterContinental Hotels Group will introduce its Hotel Indigo brand to Bali with the 280-room Hotel Indigo Bali Seminyak, expected to open in 2015.

The announcement comes following the signing of a deal with PT Bali Perkasa Sukses – a subsidiary of Indonesian real estate developer PT Agung Podomoro Land Tbk (APLN).

 

Pullman Pattaya Hotel G has renovated its G Executive Club Rooms with the 42 square metre rooms featuring new all-wood floors and furniture along with a range of benefits including private check-in & check-out.

 

Southern Thailand’s Khao Lak will receive a boost to its accommodation supply with the completion of an extension to beach resort Sensimar this month.

The addition of 76 deluxe rooms and a new swimming pool will take the resort to a total of 231 rooms and four swimming pools.

Resort manager Ciaran McNeill said that the need for extensions indicated that Khao Lak was well and truly back on the tourist map a decade after the 2004 tsunami struck the area.
