African Travel has announced it will be holding a series of nine webinars with exclusive content about Africa to help travel agents sell the destination.
The operator has partnered with a number of South African hotels and lodges to create an educational and informative program for the listeners. Each of the nine webinars is dedicated to a key aspect of selling Africa to clients.
"These webinars are an invaluable opportunity for agents to familiarize themselves with product updates while learning best practices and selling tips from some of the industry's most knowledgeable professionals," said Sherwin Banda, president of African Travel. "Each webinar offers unique and valuable information as well as special incentives, and we're so excited to offer agents the opportunity to experience one of our extraordinary safari vacations with four amazing land package giveaways."
By actively participating in any six of the nine educational webinars, held through Oct. 12, agents will qualify for a drawing to win a free safari for two.
Agents will receive one point for each completed webinar attended, either live or recorded; one point for each completed questionnaire received after the webinar; and five points for each new booking of five nights or more with African Travel.
All points will be entered into a randomized drawing and four lucky winners will win a free South Africa educational land safari. The winners will be announced no later than Oct. 27 via Facebook Live on the African Travel's Facebook page.
