Travel Agent Appreciation Day comes a month early this year. And that’s no April Fools’ Day joke.

This year, Club Med is celebrating Travel Agent Appreciation Day (May 1) early by honouring the dedication and professionalism of its valued travel partners with a month-long event. Throughout the month of April, travel advisors are invited to visit Club Med’s Travel Advisor Calendar, a dedicated website with daily targets to hit for a chance to win a range of prizes, including a grand prize that would allow the winner to attend the opening event of the new Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic, set to open in December 2019.

The Travel Advisor Calendar is a continuation of the same appreciation program offered last year but with a different name. The goal is to recognize the skills and expertise of the agents Club Med interacts with every day. As of today, the brand will also use this name in its communications and Great Advisors reward program (formerly Great Agents).

“We are very proud and grateful to be represented by talented, loyal and motivated travel professionals,” said Jacinda Lowry, National Director of Sales for Club Med. “The Travel Advisor Calendar is an extended celebration of these dedicated individuals and Club Med’s way of thanking our travel partners for their daily contributions to the brand’s success.”

The Travel Advisor Calendar has no time limits or deadlines to play, so advisors can go back through days they may have missed and play in past challenges. Each week, the most active participants will have the chance to win 12,000 points for the Great Advisors rewards program, equivalent to two free nights at a Club Med resort in Florida, Mexico or the Caribbean. At the end of the month, the advisors that participated in the most challenges will be entered into a draw for the grand prize: a spot at the opening event for the new Club Med Michès Playa Esmeralda in the Dominican Republic, opening in December 2019.

Travel advisors have been a valuable asset to Club Med’s continued growth and success over the years. The Travel Advisor Calendar aims to recognize those contributions and show gratitude to its loyal partners. While Travel Agent Appreciation Day lasts only 24 hours, Club Med is proud to give back to the pillars of the travel industry and ensure every partner feels appreciated during an extended Travel Advisor Appreciation Month.
