The 2024 Global Stars program has concluded in spectacular style, treating top agents from Australia and New Zealand to a week of Southern California’s best destinations and experiences.
The reward trip, hosted by Viva Holidays, ReadyRooms, and GO Holidays, celebrated the achievements of the region’s highest-performing agents with a jam-packed itinerary and a glamorous finale.
This year’s program was so action-filled it was divided into four groups, each exploring destinations including San Diego, Palm Springs, Anaheim, and Huntington Beach. Highlights included:
- Ice hockey excitement with the Anaheim Ducks
- Disneyland Resort visits with an exclusive dessert party and World of Color – ONE light show
- Surfing lessons and s’mores on Huntington Beach
- A speedboat adventure through San Diego’s Big Bay
The groups reunited for the grand finale: the Global Stars Celebration and Awards Gala Dinner held on the rooftop of the JW Marriott Anaheim.
Reflecting on the experience
Peter Douglas, National Sales Manager, spoke about the significance of the trip.
“It was such a great trip and returning to Southern California in Viva Holidays’ 50th year, where our first Global Stars was held, was very special. The agents were truly deserving of all the spoiling they received for their incredible support of Viva Holidays, ReadyRooms, and GO Holidays.”
Reflecting on the event, Anna Hildebrand from Helloworld Travel Esperance in WA said, “It was fantastic! This week gave us time to connect, step out of comfort zones, and truly enjoy the moment. I’ve returned home with new friendships, wisdom, and a very full cup. I shall treasure this experience.”
Cinzia Burnes, COO and Executive Director of Helloworld Travel, extended her gratitude to all involved.

We are deeply grateful to our Global Stars partners—United Airlines, Cover-More Travel Insurance, Intrepid, and Disneyland Resort—as well as our regional hosts for showcasing the best of Southern California.”
