Linkd Tourism, United Airlines and Brand USA have announced the first four winners of the Ul-TRI-mate incentive, giving travel agents the chance to secure a spot on an action-packed 12-day adventure across some of the USA’s most exciting destinations.
With over 600 agents attending Visit USA events in February, three winners earned their place through an interactive scavenger hunt, while another was drawn at random. Congratulations to:
- Nicole Young, Helloworld Travel, Burpengary (Brisbane)
- Jennifer Jones, Travel Managers, Wahroonga (NSW)
- Sarah John, Where2travel, Melbourne
- Rachelle Evans, Eastern Hill Travel, Melbourne
More chances to win
Four more winners will be announced at the end of March—three spots will go to top sellers, while one will be drawn at random from all qualifying bookings. Travel agents who have booked trips to the USA between 1 February and 31 March 2025 can still log their bookings for a chance to win.
Two additional winners will be selected from participants in Linkd Tourism’s Ul-TRI-mate Fam webinar series. The final session takes place on Thursday, 20 March at 1:00 PM ADST, and all attendees will be entered into the draw.

The lucky winners will embark on an unforgettable journey across the USA:
- Group 1 – Three nights in Seattle, experiencing the Space Needle, grunge music scene, and city vibes before heading to Arizona for three nights exploring Flagstaff’s Route 66 charm and the awe-inspiring Grand Canyon.
- Group 2 – Three nights in Colorado, soaking up Denver’s urban energy and the Rocky Mountains, followed by three nights in Upstate New York, where they will explore the Finger Lakes’ world-class wineries and the mighty Niagara Falls.

A trip for adventure seekers
Linkd Tourism strategic director Michael Cassis said the Ul-TRI-mate Fam is designed for agents who love adventure and exploration.
“These aren’t fams for those who want to chill out and relax; they’re for those who love action-packed days of adventure and wonder, and an experience they will never forget,” Cassis said.
With time left to enter, agents are encouraged to log their USA bookings before 31 March and join the final webinar on 20 March for their chance to win.
