“Bali Your Way” at TAG 2008
Travel agents from around Australasia gathered in Bali this month for a weekend of indulgence and celebration.
The occasion was Garuda Orient Holidays’ TAG2008 (Top Achievers Group) weekend, the highlight of which was a magnificent Gala Awards Dinner at the stunning Maya Ubud Resort & Spa (the image on the cover of the brand new, “Bali on ANY budget”2008) to recognise Australian and New Zealand travel agents achieving outstanding sales throughout 2007.
The awards were presented by Mr. Poerwoko Soeparyono - Director, Garuda Orient Holidays. The Australian Top Achiever award was accepted by Ms Sarah Brown on behalf of Travel Hotspot, W.A., while the New Zealand Top Achiever award went to Holiday Shoppe, Ponsonby, and was accepted by Manager Mr. Wayne Leigh.
The evening culminated with the official launch of the 2008 edition of the iconic “Bali on ANY budget” brochure. The brochure was well received by all in attendance once again offering the best packages and deals for any traveler heading to Bali.
During their stay the Top Achievers lived it up at the stunning C-151 “Smart” Villas in Seminyak. They enjoyed lunch at the luxurious Karma Kandara Resort, perched on the cliff top at Uluwatu, and a rooftop dinner at the new Anantara Resort, beachfront in Seminyak.
“We asked guests what they wanted to do on a reward weekend… they chose everything from shopping trips to site inspections, a visit to the Elephant Safari Park Taro, to Spa treatments”, said Michael Woods, GOH Marketing Manager
Continuing the “Bali-Your Way” theme the guests also had the option to indulge in lavish spa treatments at the Ritz-Carlton, Dala Spa at Villa de Daun, and Prana Spa at The Villas, whilst some enjoyed a round of golf at the Bali Golf and Country Club and New Kuta Golf Club, Pecatau.
Mr. Paul Deans, Manager, Travel Corner, W.A. and winner of the GOH Rising Star Award for W.A. summed up the weekend best, “The way that the travel industry has changed over the past 10 years it is refreshing to see wholesalers giving back and referring to GOH where I was recently taken to Bali on the Top Achievers Weekend, GOH and GA staff bent over backwards to assist in our requests and to make sure we were all very well looked after at every opportunity” he said.
Supplies of the 2008 edition of “Bali on ANY budget” can be obtained through TIFS or by contacting your local Garuda Indonesia Sales department.
