Photo special: Collette Centennial Celebration arrives in Melbourne!

Collette’s nation-wide Centennial Celebration landed in Melbourne last night and the event definitely lived up to its name.

Held at Melbourne’s Diesel Bar in the centre of the city, the 100 lucky Golden Ticket winners had the opportunity to make cocktails on Switzerland Tourism’s Bike n Blend activation, pose for Mobster’s roaming photographers, sample delicious canapes and win some even better prizes.

Speaking about the event, Switzerland Tourism AUNZ director Mark Wettstein said: “It was a great honour for us to be part of the Collette Travel Explorations Tours launch in Melbourne last night.

“We are excited about their new Switzerland Explorations Tours ‘Majestic Peaks and Hidden Trails’ and we look forward to working together with Collette Travel in the future.”

During the evening, Collette sales manager for Vic, SA & Tas Diego Iraheta took to the stage to announce the launch of Collette Explorations.

Iraheta asked the audience, “who wants to go to Finland, who wants to sleep in a French chateau?”

Unsurprisingly, the questions were met a unanimous and pleading ‘yes’.

Agents from the biggest and most prolific travel players in the country were gifted with freshly printed Collette Explorations brochures, as well as brochures on USA & Canada and Europe.

The room was filled with champagne, laughter, excitement, and a little bit more champagne.
