Adventure travel incentives don’t get much more adventurous than this … FCTG Independent has wrapped up its quarterly adventure travel incentive with 14 travel advisors awarded a bunch of trips courtesy of incentive partners Intrepid Travel, Adventure World Travel and G Adventures.

Running from January to March, the incentive was designed to encourage agents to sell the three companies’ products and was met with “overwhelming enthusiasm” by more than 400 agents and agencies in the network.

Among the prizes on offer were free Intrepid tours, Animals Asia travel packages with Adventure World Travel, and $3000 G Adventures travel credits.

The FCTG Independent team hopes this incentive and others like it will give independent agents the opportunity to engage with suppliers, gain the knowledge they can pass on to their clients, and ultimately improve earnings.

“Coupled with an impressive website, Intrepid’s efficiency and promptness further enhance the experience.”
