Scenic reveals “best dressed” agency in Australia

Helloworld Horsham has been named as the winner of $5,000 cash in Scenic’s 2015 best dressed agency competition which launched in August to celebrate the 2016 Europe River Cruising season.

The ‘Suite 337’ video entry took out the top prize for its creativity and attention to detail, with staff members recreating a royal panorama suite in store for clients to experience firsthand.

“We are delighted to have won $5,000 for the office, it has come just in time for Christmas so we look forward to celebrating our win next month,” owner and manager Chris Buwalda said.

“We had so much fun creating the video and look forward to entering again next year,” Chris Buwalda, owner/manager of helloworld Horsham commented:

Runners-up in the competition were revealed as Travel & Sports Australia, Helloworld Strathpine, iTalkTravel The Junction, Peregrine Travel Centre and Helloworld Southland who all receive $500 cash.

Meanwhile, the river cruise momentum continues with Scenic launching a new incentive for agents booking its product.

Under the offer, agents can earn $100 worth of bonus Scenic Rewards points when they book and deposit any new 2016 Scenic luxury Europe or France river cruise between 9 November and 15 December 2015.
