Contiki increases capacity for the first ever global Rock – it’s not too late to secure your spot!

To mark Contiki’s 50th Anniversary, the leading youth travel brand is undertaking its first ever global Rock Around the World trade incentive, giving Australian agents increased opportunities to be a part of this amazing trip which is tipped to be the greatest Rock ever.

For the first time, Rock will take 25 Australian consultants from the top 25 agencies, who will then be joined by some of Contiki’s top-selling global agents, for a 10 day experience of a lifetime in a destination to be revealed later this month.. 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 the greatest Rock Around the World of all time!

Fiona Hunt, Managing Director of Contiki, said: “2012 is set to be such a fantastic year for Contiki with the celebration of our 50th Birthday adding an extra layer of hype, excitement and mystery to Rock. 

“The success of Contiki throughout its 50 years of operation has seen it develop into the leading global travel brand for the youth market and this feat could not have been achieved without the valuable support of the travel industry. As a way of saying thank you, Contiki is thrilled to offer agents increased opportunities to join Rock 2012 with more spots than ever available to experience this once in a lifetime event.”

Getting a seat on Rock has become a fiercely contested yearly challenge within the travel industry and Contiki expects agents to go all-out for a spot on Rock 2012. Those who are fortunate enough to secure a golden ticket will party like a rock star, attending one of world’s hottest gigs in a dream overseas destination, enjoying return airfares, an exclusive Contiki tour that encapsulates all that the brand stands for – fun, adventure, flexibility and once-in-a-lifetime experiences that take you further than you ever imagined.

With the destination to be announced later this month, agents can assume that Rock 2012 will be bigger and better than ever with last year’s winners attending the iconic V-Festival in the UK, watching performances by Eminem, Rihanna and other unforgettable acts. Past Rock events have also included 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 Chili  Peppers in San Diego, Gwen Stefani in Berlin, The Police in Vienna and the Black Eyed Peas in the Canadian Rockies.
