In a unique, industry-first initiative, Tourism Australia has launched an exclusive incentive for qualified Aussie Specialists to become an ‘Aussie Specialist Ambassador’. As a part of this program, one winner from India will join a bespoke trip to the land Down Under and share their incredible Aussie experiences with other international travel sellers.
For agents who are not a part of the Aussie Specialist Program, it is a fantastic opportunity to enrol into this comprehensive program which provides immense benefits to qualified participants who can gain access to bespoke training modules, sales resources, travel offers from Australian operators, invitations to attend exclusive Tourism Australia events and training programs and receive regular product updates.
Speaking about this latest project, Tourism Australia’s Managing Director, John O’Sullivan said, “Travel sellers are a critical part of the travel distribution system and the new Aussie Specialist Ambassador initiative is all about peer-to-peer advocacy. We want these Aussie Specialist Ambassadors to experience why there’s truly nothing like Australia and have a fantastic time experiencing our world-class tourism products and share their enthusiasm and insights with other travel sellers in their home market.”
“We hope the content created by the Ambassadors will help other Aussie Specialists improve their product knowledge, encourage more enrolments to the program and ultimately help more people book their Australian holidays,” he added.
Nishant Kashikar, Country Manager, India & Gulf said, “The Aussie Specialist Ambassador program is a testament to our commitment to nurture our travel partners and recognise the efforts of those who have been passionately promoting Australia. Tourism Australia was the first National Tourism Organisation to pioneer an online destination training program for the travel trade.”
