Regent Holidays (www.regent-holidays.co.uk) is launching an incentive offering agents the chance to win a summer short break for two in Finland worth up to £3,000.   Between the dates of 10 March and 30 April 2025, each time an agent makes a Regent booking they will be entered into a draw to win a break for two at the unique Barö Hotel. The Barö Hotel is an ecologically-built property set in the heart of the Finnish archipelago, surrounded by forest and sea, and located just an hour and a quarter from Helsinki airport. The prize includes return flights, three nights’ bed and breakfast accommodation and private transfers, and is based on two people sharing.   The prize also includes access to a host of complimentary activities including hiking, berry picking and a morning Finnish sauna, enjoyed with an incredible sea view.   The incentive is part of a wider campaign with Visit Finland to promote Regent’s varied summer Finland portfolio, comprising of social media promotion, email marketing and an online agent training webinar which will take place on Friday 14 March. To help agents close the sale, there will also be a series of special offers available on a selection of Finland holidays, for example a complimentary lunch at Lake Lahti for guests travelling on the Land of 1,000 Lakes fly-drive or the Finnish Lakeland Summer Break, a saving of up to £135 per person on a break to the Sahanlahti resort on Lake Saimaa or a saving of up to £180 per person on the Finnish Brown Bear Adventure.   Daniele Boni, Product Manager for Regent Holidays, said: “In the last three years our portfolio of Finland summer itineraries has more than doubled, and we’re seeing a gradual year on year increase in enquiries and bookings made. The coolcations trend is real and continuing, as holidaymakers increasingly look to avoid the Mediterranean heat in the height of the summer. Finland’s lakes offer a fantastic alternative, with plenty of watersports, outdoor activities, wildlife watching – in particular wild brown bears - and beautiful scenery.   “There is a real opportunity here for agents to tap into this growing trend, and we are delighted to be working with Visit Finland to showcase our programme in this stunning destination and offer one of our valued trade partners a truly special break for two.”   The lucky winner will be announced within the first week of May 2025. The incentive is available on all bookings made between 10 March and 30 April 2025. The prize must be taken between 1 May – 30 September 2025 or 1 May - 30 September 2026, and is subject to availability.   Regent’s Finland portfolio is available here: https://www.regent-holidays.co.uk/country/finland-holiday-collection/.   For more information and to join the webinar at 10am on 14 March, agents can contact the Regent team at agencysales@itc-uk.com.

Regent Holidays has seen a marked increase in enquiries and bookings to Greenland in recent weeks, thanks to interest fuelled by the media spotlight. Greenland has been cited as a destination to watch by numerous media outlets thanks to the new airport that opened in Nuuk late last year. Its landscapes have also been showcased extensively in news reports in recent weeks as a result of President Donald Trump’s interest in the Danish territory. In January 2025, Regent saw a 250% increase in bookings to Greenland compared to a year ago. There was a 70% increase in enquiries. In just the first month of the year, Regent has already achieved 26% of last year’s total bookings for Greenland. Andrea Godfrey, Head of Regent, said: “Perhaps it’s the buzz surrounding Nuuk’s new airport opening, or maybe the curiosity sparked by Trump’s much publicised designs on it.: “Whatever the reason, Greenland is very much on the radar as a travel destination for 2025.” “We’re also seeing a trend toward travellers booking longer holidays, moving away from five-day short breaks in Ilulissat, which were hitherto most popular.” Catering to increased demand, Regent has launched two new, longer itineraries in recent months: The 15-day Great Greenland Adventure is a comprehensive summer exploration that combines adventure with culture. This small group tour takes in Greenland’s heritage, art and architecture alongside the great outdoors, with mountain hikes, whale-watching, cruising and relaxing in geothermal pools. It is priced from £8,185 per person sharing, including return flights, accommodation, all transportation including internal flights, most meals and a host of experiences as. The 8-day Greenland Winter Wonders: Nuuk to Ilulissat individual trip is perfect for witnessing the northern lights, icebergs, and local Inuit culture. Twinning capital Nuuk with Ilulissat (known as Town of the Icebergs), it celebrates Greenland’s winter, with a northern lights cruise, a dog-sledding adventure and the opportunity to overnight in an igloo. It costs from £3,095 per person. Regent’s full Greenland portfolio: https://www.regent-holidays.co.uk/country/greenland-holidays/

  Regent Holidays (www.regent-holidays.co.uk) has seen a marked increase in enquiries and bookings to Greenland in recent weeks, with interest fuelled by the media spotlight.   Greenland has been cited as a destination to watch by numerous media outlets thanks to the new airport that opened in the capital Nuuk late last year. Its unspoilt landscapes and epic scenery have also been showcased on TV screens and in news reports in recent weeks as a result of President Donald Trump’s strategic interest in the autonomous Danish territory.   In January 2025, Regent saw a 250% increase in bookings to Greenland over the month of January 2024, and a 70% increase in enquiries. In just the first month of this year, Regent has already achieved 26% of last year’s total bookings for Greenland.   Andrea Godfrey, Head of Regent, said:   “Perhaps it’s the buzz surrounding Nuuk’s new airport opening, Greenland appearing on multiple “must-see destinations for 2025” lists, or maybe the curiosity sparked by Trump’s much publicised designs on it. Whatever the reason, Greenland is very much on the radar as a travel destination for 2025, and year on year bookings have skyrocketed.   “We’re also seeing a trend toward travellers booking longer holidays, moving away from five-day short breaks in Ilulissat, which were hitherto most popular. This is fantastic news as extended stays allow visitors to truly experience the incredible nature and culture of this destination.”   Catering to increased demand, and complimenting its existing portfolio of short breaks, seasonal trips and island explorations, Regent has launched two new, longer itineraries in recent months:   The 15-day Great Greenland Adventure is a comprehensive summer exploration that combines adventure with culture. This small group tour takes in Greenland’s heritage, traditions, art and architecture alongside its great outdoors, with mountain hikes, whale-watching, cruising amongst icebergs in the fjords and relaxing in geothermal pools. It is priced from £8,185 per person sharing, including return flights, accommodation, all transportation including internal flights, most meals and a host of experiences as per the itinerary.   The 8-day Greenland Winter Wonders: Nuuk to Ilulissat individual trip is perfect for witnessing the northern lights, incredible icebergs, and local Inuit culture.  Twinning capital Nuuk with Ilulissat (known as Town of the Icebergs), it celebrates Greenland’s winter in all its glory, with a northern lights cruise, a thrilling dog-sledding adventure and the opportunity to overnight in an igloo. It costs from £3,095 per person sharing including return flights, B&B accommodation, airport transfers, internal flights between Nuuk and Ilulissat and a host of experiences as per the itinerary.   Regent’s full Greenland portfolio is available here: https://www.regent-holidays.co.uk/country/greenland-holidays/   For more information, agents can visit: www.regent-holidays.co.uk or speak to a member of the sales team on 0117 453 2948   Travel agents can access assets including Regent’s images and itineraries for marketing purposes by logging on to the ITC’s free online toolkit at https://toolkit.itc-uk.com/
