The year you won’t want to miss

The wait is finally over… Contiki Holidays has announced the launch of its 2012 Rock Around the World industry incentive, and as 2012 coincides with the youth market leader’s 50th anniversary, this year is tipped to be bigger and better than ever!

To make this the party to end all birthdays, in 2012, 25 Australian consultants from the top 25 agencies will be joined by some of Contiki’s top-selling global agents for a 10 day experience of a lifetime. This lucky group will be treated like true rock star royalty with  tickets to one of the world’s hottest gigs in a dream overseas destination, return airfares, an exclusive Contiki tour and a host of never included before unique experiences.

Every Contiki booking made up until 16 March, 2012 (must be of six days or more and for travel in 2012) takes agents closer to scoring one of the 25 sought-after spots on next year’s incentive trip – the greatest Rock Around the World of all time!

Can’t wait until March to find if you’ve earnt yourself a spot? Then keep your eyes peeled over the coming months for more chances to win a spot on this year’s Rock Around the World.

Contiki’s Rock Around the World has been taking top agents to the big gigs for over 15 years with past events including the U2 and Snow Patrol in Toronto, the Rolling Stones in Istanbul, Alanis Morissette in Toronto, Bon Jovi in Dublin, INXS in Las Vegas, Pink and Lenny Kravitz in Las Vegas, Robbie Williams in London, Madonna in Dublin, U2 in Madrid, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers in San Diego, Gwen Stefani in Berlin, The Police in Vienna and the Black Eyed Peas in the Canadian Rockies. The 2012 winners will follow in the footsteps of the fantastic agents who won the 2011 Rock around the World – they attended London’s iconic V-Festival in September, featuring Eminem, Rihanna and other unforgettable acts.

Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki Holidays said, “I’m thrilled to offer agents the opportunity to be a part of our Rock Around the World trip in 2012. This incentive has long been our way of saying thank you for all the amazing support we receive throughout the year. And what better way to say thank you than by offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

“Set to coincide with Contiki’ 50th anniversary celebrations, there is no doubt our 2012 will be the best Rock yet. I can’t reveal anything yet, but agents definitely do not want to miss this one."
