Finnish Lapland and Northumberland by telling the tour operator why they should become a #HotelplanHero in 100 words or fewer. Trips include two from adventure brand Explore:


an eight-day Taste of Italy – Walking in Puglia tour, with flights; and a six-day Northumberland Coast and Castles tour. An Inghams summer holiday to Switzerland, with


flights, is also among the prizes, as is a short break with Santa’s Lapland to Saariselka for a family of four. Four spot prizes will also be given away each week in


May as part of the #HotelplanHero campaign, which is urging entries to be either “funny, unique, or just lots of use of the hashtag”. Registrations can be made up to May 31, but must be made in advance of the weekly draws to be included.

have received from our agent partners has been amazing


Ben Ittensohn, head of global sales for Explore, said:


“We wanted to launch a campaign that was designed specifically for UK travel agents, that was not incentive based and simply helped recognise their fantastic support throughout the past year.” Julie Franklin, head of agency sales for Hotelplan,


added: “We are now 12 months into what can only be described as battling through deep snow, off piste in the mountains. We have all learned how to work through the situation, helping each other help our mutual customers. “The support and thanks we have received from our


agent partners has been amazing and continues to shine through as we begin to start seeing demand increase for late summer and beyond. Communications and strong partnerships have been instrumental in reassuring and protecting our customers.” hotelplan.co.uk
