We celebrated our top performing agency partners in true superstar style at a prestigious gala dinner, during our annual VIP independent travel agent conference in Turkey.

We whisked away 270 top performing agents to the 5-star Gloria Golf Resort in Antalya, Turkey, where we outlined our vision for the future, sharing ideas with agents to help them increase sales and grow their successful businesses even further.

This included the launch of Specialist Jet2holidays Travel Agent status, offering independent travel agents even more scope and opportunity to grow their businesses, thanks to the introduction of a number of brand new initiatives including Jet2holidays Booking Pods, joint marketing & branding activity, and a bespoke training programme.

The conference culminated in a prestigious superstar themed gala dinner where a number of agents scooped awards for their tremendous achievements in helping drive awareness and sales of Jet2holidays over the past year.

As well as receiving their accolades from special guest, musician and actor Martin Kemp, each winner was also given another sparkling reward and will now have a real star named after them.
