Sister brands One&Only and Atlantis, The Palm have selected the two remaining winners for their Ultimate Explorers fam trip in partnership with Aspire.

Clare Levy of Different Planet Travel (pictured, left) and Alison Garven of 360 Private Travel (pictured, right) have both won places on the trip, set to take place in October 2021.

One&Only and Atlantis, The Palm picked the first six winners in May after asking entrants to submit a two-minute video of themselves explaining why they were the ‘ultimate explorer’.

Levy and Garven join Ben Murtagh of Luxury Travel By Ben and Elegant Resorts; Ashley Grant of La Vida Travel; Jen Bekker of Travel Counsellors; Olivia Chetham of Papillon Travel; Richard Frampton of Hurlingham Travel and Lesley-Ann Birley of La Concordia Personal Travel.

The seven-day Ultimate Explorers trip will see agents fly to Dubai for two nights, where they will stay at either One&Only Royal Mirage or Atlantis, The Palm, before heading to one of four other hotels in the One&Only portfolio for three nights.

Agents won’t know where they are going on the second leg of their journey until they are in Dubai, but the options include One&Only Reethi Rah, Maldives; One&Only Cape Town; One&Only Le Saint Géran, Mauritius; or the new One&Only Desaru Coast, Malaysia.

The group will then meet back in Dubai for a final two nights before flying home. 

Craig Jeffs, account director for leisure sales for the UK and Scandinavia at Kerzner International, said: “We were overwhelmed with the level of engagement and excitement the Ultimate Explorers fam competition created.

“To be in with a chance of winning one of the last two spaces on this trip of a lifetime, we asked our trade partners to share all of their amazing One&Only and Atlantis, The Palm bookings with us and we picked two winners at random.

“Again, the engagement was wonderful and it was so nice getting to see all the amazing bookings. 

“We now have eight Ultimate Explorers and, who knows, we may be looking for more soon.”

The Ultimate Explorers fam trip is part of a Kerzner International initiative running across several source markets, with 40 agents from across Europe taking part.
