SURGING cruise sales took credit for a big part of celebrations at the inaugural Global STARS awards night in Perth on Sat.
The event marked the first time the full suite of Helloworld wholesale brands have come together in a united travel agent rewards program, combining the former Qantas Holidays Global Achievers and Sunlover Stars.
The beefed-up rewards program resulted in record sales for top-performing agents, with five inducted into a Millionaire’s Club for seven-figure tallies.
The awards also honoured cruise sales, with Richard van Schouwen of Kawana Waters Travel named Australia’s top cruise agent for 2017.
Other finalists in the category included Brian Bennett of Travel & Cruise Professionals, Chris McIlroy of Travel Inspirations, Gemma Smith of City Beach Travel and Kerri Page of Helloworld Travel Buderim.
