Return of Swiss Travel Pass Superstar Agent Incentiv

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., March 15, 2019 – Rail Europe, the largest distributor of European rail products in North America, in partnership with Switzerland Tourism and the Swiss Travel System, is inviting travel agents and tour operators in the U.S. to increase their sales of all Swiss travel products, including the Swiss Travel Pass, by improving and testing their knowledge. Agents simply register to participate, learn and sell, and they could win an all-expense paid FAM trip to Switzerland and other prizes. The more participating Swiss products agents sell, the more points they earn toward the trip. This is the second year for the program and registration begins April 15, 2019, with the program running May 1 through July 31, 2019.

How it Works
Agents are invited to take monthly quizzes made up of 20 questions to test their knowledge of Swiss products, Rail Europe and Bucherer watches. Each month, three top scorers from among those that score at least an 80% or have 16 correct answers win either a First Prize of one Bucherer watch, a Second Prize of one Fondue set and a Fondue cookbook, or a Third Prize of one Bamboo Cheese board.

The FAM Trip
Agents who want to be considered for the FAM will need to take all three monthly quizzes and every month of the program submit their ticket sales of Swiss Travel System products for validation. These include the Swiss Travel Pass/Swiss Travel Pass Flex, Swiss Travel pass e-ticket, Swiss Point-to-Point tickets and Swiss Luggage. Six SuperStars from the U.S. and six SuperStars from Canada will win the Grand Prize of a 6-Day/5-Night all expenses paid trip to Switzerland in early December 2019 to celebrate with other Swiss Travel Pass SuperStars from around the world. SuperStar winners are chosen based on a combination of most quiz points and product sales during the promotion period. Points are accrued in various ways including:

The Swiss Travel Pass
Rail Europe’s Swiss Travel Pass offers unlimited train, bus and boat travel on the Swiss Travel System countrywide. Passengers can choose to travel on flexible and consecutive days with 3, 4, 8 or 15 day passes. Entrance to more than 500 museums and city transportation are also included with the Swiss Travel Pass. Families can benefit from the free Swiss Family Card, which allows children under 16 to travel for free with a parent or legal guardian. If children under 16 travel without a parent, they pay 50 percent off adult fares. Discounts are also available for youth travelers under age 26.
