It almost sounds too good to be true to be able to sip a coffee, watch a webinar, and WIN prizes, but Destination Webinars assures us it’s not. Bringing back their popular multi-presenter BYO Coffee Cluster series, Destination Webinars goes live from Thursday the 26th of May with a 4-week programme packed with inspirational travel content, plus cool prizes!
This is not your average webinar. The Destination Webinar 4-week series features eight suppliers covering domestic and worldwide adventures, destination specialists, and cruising. That’s four weeks to travel the world from your desk chair, latte in hand.
Fill your cup with coffee, fill your mind with the latest travel updates from Acacia Africa, Arcadia Expeditions, Ponant, Outback Spirit Tours, Exodus Travels, Simply Cuba Tours, Rocky Mountaineer and Viking Cruises. And a shout out to Pelikin Travel Money for making this 4-week travel extravaganza possible.
If you think you won’t have time to catch these webinars, think again! Each webinar is a worthwhile (and doable) 30-minute update, followed by a live Q&A. That’s a shorter length of time than getting your coffee from that popular café you like!
You can even watch it from that long-as coffee queue because you can register for recordings if you can’t make it live.
Meet your host, Charlie Trevena!
Every session coordinates for both Australian and New Zealand travel trade, with two time slots: 9 am or 12 pm (AEST).
Not only do you get to learn and be inspired by some of the industry’s best, you can also WIN. There are $50 gift cards up for grabs each week, plus there’s cool supplier swag if you’re lucky.
But wait, there’s more!
Register for these Destination Webinar sessions before Wednesday the 25th of May and you’ll also be in the draw to WIN a bonus gift card of $100! Think how many skinny flat whites you can get with that.
Here’s the upcoming schedule and a little sweetener in prep for the Coffee Cluster Webinars:
