Forget ‘new year, new you’; our 2026 motto is ‘new year, new trips’. It’s catchy. Guess who agrees? Collette, offering you an amazing $200 gift card per booking – perfect for your own travels this year (or other treats). Sweetening your chance to earn thousands (the incentive is uncapped!), your clients can get up to $3,000 off per couple with Collette’s New Year Sale.

The very generous agent incentive and savings for your clients are fitting for a tour company that is ‘By Travellers, For Travellers’. Way to start the new year with a bang.

Collette delivers premium small group travel* across 50+ itineraries within their Explorations range, as part of a broader portfolio of 170+ tours across all 7 continents.

From the local experts who curate the tours – adding special touches your clients cannot find themselves – to premium service (their cancel for any reason policy is revered), and local Australian support, they’ve got you and your clients covered.

The Scottish wilderness holds great appeal for Aussie travellers

Get rewarded for promoting the new year, new trip motto to your clients, with Collette’s new agent incentive.

For every new, deposited booking between the sale period (13 January to 28 February 2026), you’ll earn a $200 gift card. And it gets sweeter… for every third booking, you’ll earn a bonus $500 gift card.

That’s $1,100 extra for only three sales!

Even better? This Collette incentive is uncapped, so you could get enough gift cards for that big trip you want to take in 2026. Here’s the math: make one booking and get a nice $200 gift card. Book four trips, that’s $1,300. And for ten Collette bookings deposited by 28 February? $3,500. Woohoo!

Is Collette the most generous tour company out there? This bonus tidbit may seal the deal: if you made bookings during Collette’s Black Friday Sale, they’ll carry forward to this incentive.

For example, if you made two bookings during the Black Friday promotion window and then make a third in the New Year Sale, you’ll get a bonus $500 gift card for that third booking – so you’ll receive the $200 gift card PLUS the $500 third booking bonus. That’s $700 for only one more booking!

There are over 80 gift card merchants available, including a Visa card option to pop your bonus funds onto your own travel payments.

New year, new savings
