GOLD MEDAL RELEASE NEW FAR EAST & INDIA BROCHURE

28/09/2023

Gold Medal are giving agents the chance to win a multicentre holiday to Singapore and Thailand to
celebrate their new Far East & India brochure, launching today 28 September. Filled with 17 brand
new hotels, 12 new experiences and 116-pages of expert insider knowledge, agents across the UK
can inspire their customers with the incredible beauty, diversity, and culture that this destination has
to offer.

200 agents will receive the Gold Medal Far East & India brochure today, with dedicated eshots, web
landing pages and social media content planned in across the eight-week campaign. The supporting
collateral has been created to guide agents to the best offers and to delight their customers with
holiday recommendations, hand selected by passionate experts who have over 40 years’ experience.

To celebrate the launch, Gold Medal are giving agents the opportunity to win a 9-night holiday for
two people to Singapore & Thailand, with Singapore Airlines. Agents who make a package booking
from 28 September until 02 November to any Far East or India destination can enter the prize draw
by sending their booking references to [email protected] with the subject line ‘Take me to the
Far East’. One lucky winner will be announced in November.

Gold Medal are also reminding agents about their competitive Farebank Rewards, which are available
on every booking. Double Rewards are available from 28 September – 31 October on bookings made
to the Far East and India.

Head of Product – Long Haul, Deborah Wadhams shared, “Our experts have balanced adventure with
relaxation, and ancient cultures with sandy beaches throughout the creation of this brochure, with
every holidaymaker’s request in mind. After looking at recent booking trends, and from listening to
our agents, we have identified that customers are wanting longer stays in the Far East and India,
with multicentre holidays being a popular choice. Therefore, this was a priority for us to include to
ensure we are supporting our agents in offering what their customers are looking for from their
travels to this incredible destination.”

Wadhams continued, “The Far East and India have so many incredible hotels and touring
opportunities. We would highly recommend a stay at Elephant Hills, which offers a 100% ethical
elephant encounter in Thailand; or experiencing a Vespa sidecar ride through Singapore to tour this
historical city. The colourful culture of India can be explored on a ‘Delhi to Kathmandu Adventure’
where the pristine serenity of Nepal’s Himalayan mountains awaits eager explorers. No dream
holiday is unachievable with our expert sales team ready to support agents throughout every stage.”

Gold Medal launched their September peaks campaign earlier this month, titled “The Experts Edit”
which features a hand-picked selection of world-class hotels, resorts and tours from across the globe.
Information about this campaign along with its booking incentives can still be accessed by agents on
Gold Medal’s dedicated microsite, alongside their latest Far East and India brochure.
