Win a Maldives stay with Hilton Resorts at WTM
A travel agent treasure hunt is being launched by Hilton Worldwide Resorts at World Travel Market on Monday.
Agents attending WTM can pick up a treasure hunt card from any Hilton Resort stand or log on to www.hilton.com/worldwideresorts and follow the treasure hunt, answering questions along the way.
Answers will be collated and a winner announced in December who will receive a prize of seven nights at the newly renovated Hilton Maldives Resort & Spa.
Hilton Worldwide Resorts also runs familiarisation trips to resorts, holds UK training sessions and annual roadshows for agents and introduced a CD ROM earlier this year containing all the information available on its website, including virtual resort walks.
The treasure hunt is available to travel agents in the UK and internationally. Entries should be received by December 2.
Hilton Worldwide Resorts product development director Philippa Gould has designed the treasure hunt for agents to drive awareness of the 57 resorts in the portfolio and to encourage use of the company’s website as an informative tool for client bookings.
She said: “Travel agents are important partners and key drivers of our resort business.
“We recognise that time is precious and not all agents can visit the resorts on our educational trips. We are constantly seeking new ways of providing relevant, interesting and easily accessible information to agents to assist them when selling holidays to their clients.
“Our treasure hunt enables agents to learn about our resorts online and we hope it will encourage their use of our website when selling holidays.
“Clients can take virtual walks around resorts and view photography, pre arrival packs and interesting information about the destinations – bringing the resort experience to life before the guest even leaves home.
“The resort experience starts at the purchasing stage and with this wealth of visual and informative information available for agents and their clients to view at booking, guest satisfaction is higher which in turn helps drive future business for both agents and Hilton Worldwide Resorts.”
