2. I work for an ITO or wholesaler, can we also be part of this campaign?

For this particular campaign, our strategic partners are Helloworld and Holidays of Australia, whom we have worked with over many months to contract and work through the complexities a national campaign involves.

We have selected these partners, firstly to confine the resource required on our end in terms of reconciling the thousands of consumer redemptions the incentive will generate, and secondly as these partners have the capability to work across all trade and independent agents through separate commercial arrangements. 

You are more than welcome to get involved and reap the benefits of this campaign through collaboration with our partners.  In order to do this, we encourage you to reach out to either partner below, with a view to establishing a commercial relationship during this campaign.
