CALLEO Distribution Technologies Pvt Ltd, an affiliate of ITQ, the official distributor of Travelport in India, Sri Lanka, Maldives, and Bhutan, in partnership with the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB) has launched an exciting Book More, Win Big contest designed to boost bookings to Hong Kong.
In parallel with HKTB’s ongoing “Summer Chill Hong Kong” campaign, this promotion aims to jointly promote Hong Kong as the top destination for Indian travellers by encouraging travel retailers to book more Hong Kong segments using Travelport+. Started on August 9, travel agents (the ones in India using the Travelport GDS) will have the opportunity to participate in the contest that rewards the top performers with fabulous prizes, including a grand prize of a 2N/3D trip to Hong Kong.
“We are excited to join forces with the Hong Kong Tourism Board for this dynamic contest”, said Anil Parashar, Executive Director at ITQ. “By launching this contest, we aim to energise the travel industry and drive increased bookings to Hong Kong. We believe this initiative will not only highlight Hong Kong’s appeal as a premier destination but also recognise the essential contributions of travel providers, reinforcing the vital role they play in our industry’s success.”
HKTB’s Director, South Asia & Middle East Puneet Kumar said, “We are excited about this strategic partnership to reach out to Travelport’s extensive B2B network in the India market. The HKTB has recently rolled out “Summer Chill Hong Kong” promotional campaign to hand out 500,000 sets of “Summer Triple Rewards” to all overnight visitors to Hong Kong. Our trade partners can leverage on this opportunity to offer special spending discounts in transport/sightseeing, dining and retail to their customers.”
