G Adventures revives Change Makers agent trip incentive

G Adventures is bringing back its Change Makers agent incentive scheme after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic. 

Agents will be able to earn their way to a global gathering to be held on September 22-28 in a yet-to-be-revealed destination.

The Change Makers challenge runs until June 30, incentivising agents to focus on changing people’s lives through travel by booking G Adventures trips. 

Agents who successfully earn a place at the Change Makers summit will see firsthand how their work directly impacts local communities in the destinations G Adventures visits.

Thirteen ‘makers of change’ will be chosen from each of G Adventures’ major markets –  the UK and Ireland, continental Europe, Canada, the US, and Australia and New Zealand. 

The 65 agents will be brought together at the summit, which will include members of G Adventures’ team of global purpose specialists, senior leaders from around the world as well as special guests.

Highlights include visits to ‘G for Good’ community tourism projects built together with G Adventures’ non-profit partner Planeterra as well as destination highlights to help agents build their product knowledge. 

The trip also includes a full-day G Adventures experience with guest speakers and a special party night.

Agents automatically receive one entry per ‘life changed’/traveller booked. 

The top eight agents from each region will qualify, with an additional five wildcard spaces available to each region to allocate to any agent who commits to changing at least one person’s life by making at least one G Adventures booking.

EMEA managing director Brian Young aid: “The feedback following our inaugural Change Makers Summit in 2019 was incredible. 

“We change the lives of our travellers when they choose to explore the world with us, and as the pioneers of community tourism we change the lives of people in the places we go. 

“We’re so excited to not just welcome our valued agency partners on this special trip, but to also celebrate the return to travel with them.”
