The wait is finally over… Contiki has announced that its first ever global Rock Around the World trade incentive is heading to the USA where selected lucky agents will attend the internationally renowned music and arts festival, COACHELLA!

Featuring one of the year’s biggest and best festival line-ups, 25 Australian consultants from the top 25 agencies will join some of Contiki’s top-selling global agents, and party like rock stars to some of the world’s biggest artists including The Black Keys, Dr Dre & Snoop, Radiohead and Florence and the Machine.

To mark Contiki’s 50th Anniversary, the leading youth travel brand is undertaking its first ever global Rock with agents departing for their 10-day adventure living it large in the desert plains of Indio California at Coachella. From here the journey takes flight as agents embark on an exclusive Contiki USA tour visiting LA, Palm Springs, Paso Robles, Santa Barbara, San Fran, Lake Tahoe and ending in the bright lights of Las Vegas.

To be eligible for this amazing opportunity, 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 much sought-after spots on the greatest Rock Around the World of all time! As competition heats up, Contiki is also throwing into the mix Wild Cards open to all agents nationally, offering more chances to be a part of this trip of a life time.

Fiona Hunt, Managing Director, Contiki, said: “To help celebrate Contiki’s 50th Birthday, we wanted to make this year’s Rock Around the World the greatest Rock of all time and what better way to do this than start at one of the world’s largest music and arts festivals! This year’s festival and destination encapsulates all that the Contiki brand stands for – fun, adventure, flexibility and once-in-a-lifetime experiences with like-minded people. 

“To show our appreciation to the many agents who have supported Contiki over the years and helped it grow into the leading global travel brand for the youth market, we are thrilled to offer agents increased opportunities to join Rock 2012 with more spots available than ever before to experience this hallmark event.”
