SAA and italiatour! wow agents with Italy travel prize

IN a joint promotion with SAA, tour operator italiatour! is offering travel consultants who book and pay in full for packages sold between August 1 and October 31 2002 a chance to win a travel prize valued at R50 000, advises italiatour! national sales manager Bianca Maestrami. The travel consultant generating the highest revenue selling with italiatour! and flights via Milan on SAA, together with their partner of choice, could win a chance to shop at the Armani and Max Mara outlets, as the five-night prize includes return business-class tickets Johannesburg-Milan-Johannesburg on SAA, four-star hotel accommodation in Milan and Florence, as well as train tickets. The tour operator has also launched its new Web site at www.italiatour.com, which has more than 25 pages featuring the company’s various travel programmes, many of which specialise in Italian art cities; undiscovered Italy; beach and lake resorts as well as the Italian lakes in northern Italy. Travel agents qualify for 10% commission on land arrangements and air travel purchased through italiatour! and can combine SAA’s tickets out of SA and the Alitalia air pass. (Kim Cochrane)
