Sunvil to expand its trade sales team
Sunvil celebrates 50 years in the business with an agent incentive to win a trip to Greece and plans to expand its trade team.
A new trade sales manager will be announced shortly, while two new sales executives, who are currently being recruited.
Agencies that book two holidays to any destination with Sunvil during February will be entered into a draw to win a place on the operator’s seven-night Greece educational in May.
The trip will cover five Greek destinations – Zagori, Parga and Sivota on the Greek mainland, and the Ionian islands of Lefkas and Meganissi. All flights will be carbon offset by Sunvil.
Sunvil managing director Chris Wright said: "For five decades, we have been proud to build an incredible network of trusted partners in each of the destinations we offer. At home, we have an equally strong and important relationship with our agent partners.
"As part of our 50th anniversary celebrations, Sunvil is committed to building on these vital relationships still further with a number of initiatives planned throughout the year, including this special incentive to mark our 50th year milestone."
Other incentives are being planned for 2020 and will be announced later in the year.
The 2020 holiday collection includes the remote two-island nation São Tomé & Príncipe, in the Gulf of Guinea, off the west coast of equatorial Africa and holidays in Finland.
Sunvil is also offering the option to embrace slower travel and combine a holiday in Greece with a leisurely journey by train via France and Italy. Destinations in Greece by rail with Sunvil include Corfu, Paxos and AntiPaxos, Lefkas, Parga and Sivota. It also is offering three-centre holidays by rail, with Athens, Meteora and Thessaloniki by train.
Continuing the rail theme, a new Scandinavia by rail programme is a two-centre itinerary from St Pancras to Brussels Midi, followed by a second train to Cologne, where clients will stay for one night and have time to explore the city before travelling, via Hamburg, to Copenhagen to stay for a few nights or longer.
Four new Greek islands, Tinos, Syros, Elafonissos and Pserimos, have been added, as have two-country options with Greece and Cyprus and Greece and Albania.
