Viva Holidays has celebrated some of its highest performing travel professionals with a Global Stars and Mega Stars experience in the Red Centre.
The Australasian advisors were recognised for their outstanding sales performance and ongoing support for the group’s wholesale businesses, including VIVA Holidays, ReadyRooms, GO Holidays and My Way Travel & Events.
The Red Centre provided a fitting backdrop to recognise their success while giving participants the opportunity to experience the destination first-hand, connect with fellow travel professionals and celebrate their achievements together.
The 2026 Stars travelled through the Red Centre, experiencing highlights including Alice Springs, Kings Canyon and Uluru, while enjoying an itinerary designed to celebrate achievement, foster connections and reward their performance.
Cinzia Burnes, COO and Executive Director of Helloworld Travel, said the event had exceeded expectations.
“The Northern Territory delivered an extraordinary experience for our Global Stars and Mega Stars, combining breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural experiences and unforgettable moments with industry colleagues and partners,” Ms Burnes added.
“Programs such as Global Stars are about recognising and rewarding excellence. This year’s itinerary provided the perfect opportunity to celebrate the achievements of our top-performing agents while also creating lasting memories and strengthening relationships across our network.”
The response from the Stars following the trip has been overwhelmingly positive, with participants highlighting not only the destination itself, but also the opportunity to network, develop new relationships and celebrate their shared success.
“It was such a special few days and I’ve come home with some amazing memories, new friendships and an even greater appreciation for the support and partnership we have with you all,” said Tania, a Mega Star participant.
“The spotlight is well and truly on Central Australia – our Dark Sky Territory – and I’m so proud that the Territory has been able to host Helloworld’s Global Stars 2026,” said Marie-Clare Boothby, Northern Territory Minister for Tourism and Hospitality.
“Participants will no doubt have experienced for themselves our warm hospitality, authentic experiences, and spectacular landscapes – the kind you won’t find anywhere else.”
