Group Programs Offer Cash-Back Incentives, “Age Flexible” Travel

ANAHEIM, CA – Contiki Holidays, the industry leader in expertly designed vacations, has developed two programs that offer both large and small group incentives for booking travel abroad. The programs, which are utilized by a wide-array of organizations including study abroad, culinary, religious and alumni programs, offer cash-back incentives and free travel for group leaders.

Contiki’s custom group travel program is designed for groups of 20 or more people and provides complimentary spaces for trip leaders. In conjunction with the program, Contiki is flexible with its 18-35 year old age range limit and allows students under the age of 18 and chaperones over 35 to travel with the group. A Contiki group specialist also works with the leader(s) to create a customized itinerary that aligns with the interests of the travelers. Each custom program includes hotel accommodations, daily transportation, a Contiki tour manager and breakfast daily. In addition, Contiki offers activities such as dinners, sightseeing tours and excursions that can be added on to any itinerary.

To meet the needs of smaller groups, Contiki offers incentive travel for members of alumni associations, sororities, fraternities and student clubs traveling with five to 20 people. This program blocks space on regular Contiki tours and provides the group with marketing support to help promote their selected trip. As a bonus, Contiki donates $75 – $150 to the group or charity of their choice for every person that books with the group. Once the group has reached 10 people, a free spot is given to the trip organizer and each traveler receives $25 – $50 in vouchers good for optional activities like sky diving, white water rafting, and wine tasting.

“Contiki will continue to put the most flexible options and valuable incentives in place to support group travel to many of the most beautiful and historic destinations in the world,” said Greg “Fish” Fischbein, President of Contiki Holidays. “Our group specialists are highly-trained experts experienced in delivering packages that reflect the interests of each group and delivering to that expectation with the utmost professionalism.”

Contiki at Collegefest!

Contiki recently participated in Collegefest 2009 held at the Hynes Convention Center in Boston on September 26th- 27th. Collegefest is known throughout the New England area as the place to be for college students looking to get some swag, hear some great music and see what’s new from their favorite brands.

Contiki made their presence known with a fun prize wheel giveaway (free t-shirt anyone?), tons of information on trips and a European Magic trip giveaway at the end of the night on Sunday. We’re happy to announce the winner was Sarah Baker from Suffolk University. Contiki also promoted exclusive Collegefest specials throughout the show so, you pretty much had to be there to take advantage. Other event highlights included performances from Jeremih, Hellogoodbye and Talib Kweli.

Other sponsors included TMobile, Live Nation, Herbal Essences, Monster Energy, Rock Star, Honest Tea, EF Breaks and many, many more. We are stoked to be a part of this action-packed event and hope to see you there next year!
