Carnival to host travel agent contest finale in Houston
Registration is now open for Carnival Cruise Line’s Your Winning Plan series finale.
The event features several top rated travel agents competing to be named the grand prize winner.
Daymond John, star of ABC’s “Shark Tank” will speak and present the winning prize.
The series finale takes place in Houston, TX on September 27.
Registration for both in-person attendance and online livestream are open.
The grand finale event features the semi-finalists chosen from in-person events in San Jose, CA., Detroit, Las Vegas, Nashville, Denver, Richmond, and one virtual event.
The summer series gave hundreds of travel agents opportunities for learning, development and business growth.
Carnival invited the advisors to submit business plans and compete for cash to use toward implementing them, with semi-finalists receiving $2,500.
More than 1,000 plans were submitted during the series and a semi-finalist from each event now competes for a $5,000 grand prize.
Carnival expects to host thousands of travel agents in Houston at the grand finale event.
Christine Duffy, Carnival’s president, will also be at the event to discuss tips for entrepreneurial success.
Last week’s virtual event is available to watch online, for advisors to access the business information shared during the series.
