Travel Advisors & Product Managers: Upskill on South Australia & WIN!

With a destination filled with mouth-watering food, sumptuous wines, fun-filled attractions, and awe-inspiring scenery, we’ve often wondered whether South Australia could actually get any better? For reals, there’s so much good stuff in the state! Our buddies at the South Australian Tourism Commission recently got in touch and said they have a famil to giveaway. So yeah, it can get better, and it just has!

With a destination filled with mouth-watering food, sumptuous wines, fun-filled attractions, and awe-inspiring scenery, we’ve often wondered whether South Australia could actually get any better? For reals, there’s so much good stuff in the state! Our buddies at the South Australian Tourism Commission recently got in touch and said they have a famil to giveaway. So yeah, it can get better, and it just has!

South Australia is a diverse destination and one that can be a little underrated, in our humble opinion. People think they understand what’s on offer – an Adelaide foodie tour, a lush winery visit, perhaps a day trip to Kangaroo Island – but once they start planning an SA vacay, they realise there is all that… and then some!

Like the wildlife smörgåsbord discovered in Deep Creek National Park, and the water-based activities that impress along the Eyre Peninsula. And then there are those unique-as SA attractions, like swimming with giant tuna fish in the Fleurieu Peninsula’s Victor Harbour.

Fortunately, the fine folk at the South Australian Tourism Commission (SATC) are on it and have an incredible trade platform to help you become a South Australian expert. And once you do, you’ll be in with a shot of winning a place on an SA famil to check it all out for yourself!

Dedicated South Australian everything, just for you

Exclusive access is often reserved for celebs and billionaires and… you! The SATC training platform is dedicated to travel trade. It’s filled with information on commissionable products, practical itineraries, and a ton of other intel that’ll help you get more travellers experiencing the richness of South Australia.

To start your journey on this for-your-eyes-only platform, watch five training modules that take you from SA noob to SA expert in bite-sized videos. Each one is around 15 minutes long with the first three multiple-choice, followed by two videos with a couple of questions to answer. Too easy!

What if you consider yourself au fait on all things South Australia already? Aside from these five modules being your entry point to a FREE trip to SA, we think you’ll still discover something new across the five videos, regardless.

If you’re already an SA Expert within the SATC program, guess what? You’re automatically in the draw to win! Sit back and dream of South Australia, yeah.

SATC have created two informative series of webinars for SA Experts. The recently released second series gains you access to tourism operators at some of the state’s most incredible destinations.

Through a series of episodes, you’ll travel across the state from your office chair. You’ll discover what the operators do, their key selling points, and where and how to book them.

Viva Holidays also feature with a cool-as webinar on the epic road trips they’ve created to experience the best of South Australia.

This is all on top of the SATC’s comprehensive selection of product presentations and access to the past issues of SA Snippets, their monthly trade newsletter. Once you’re an SA Expert, you’re automatically signed up for future SA Snippets.

The famil every SA Expert deserves

South Australia is one of those destinations where the more you know, the more you want to go. Again, and again, and again. You may have been to Adelaide and possibly Kangaroo Island, so you know how good SA’s vibes are. Take those feels, plus SATC’s enticing training materials, and know you’ll be left yearning for more.

Which makes winning that June fam spot extra sweet (like Skillogalee, Clare Valley’s yummy dessert wine).

The winners of the June famil prize will be taking in some incredible South Australian sites, including wine tasting in the Barossa Valley, cruising the Murray River on a private houseboat (swoon), and a stay at Adelaide’s luxury Eos by SkyCity.

How to WIN! Travel agents and product managers hop straight to the South Australia trade platform to complete five SA Experts training modules. Finish all five by 31 May 2022 to be in with a chance to win that June fam spot! You’ll be notified by 3 June if you win (cross those fingers and toes)!

Once you’ve watched those five modules, the SATC team will be in touch with login details for the entire SA Experts program (it may take up to seven days to be notified, btw). At this stage, you’re in, and entry to the famil prize draw is automatic. Woohoo!
