Leading Australia and New Zealand escorted tour operator, AAT Kings, has launched a new sale for UK travel agents, with headline savings of up to £500 per person.
*All details correct at time of publish (12 February 2026)
The offer is available on new bookings of selected Small Group and Classic Group tours, departing between 1 April 2026 and 31 March 2027. Bookings must be made before 31 March 2026.
The level of discount depends on the length of tour booked, with the maximum £500pp available on tours of 16 days or more, such as Untamed New Zealand, which costs from £6,845pp including the £500pp discount, based on October 2026 departures.
The Small Group tour departs from Auckland and returns to Christchurch, spending 17-days exploring the best of the north and south islands, including an overnight cruise in Milford Sound, Māori cultural encounters in Rotorua, a guided Art Deco walking tour in Napier and wine tasting at a boutique Wairarapa vineyard.
Discount levels are:
- 16+ days – save up to £500pp – code SAVE500
- 12 – 15 days – save up to £400pp – code SAVE400
- 9 – 11 days – save up to £300pp – code SAVE300
- 7 – 8 days – save up to £220pp – code SAVE220
Small Group tours were newly introduced last year, along with ex-UK flight-inclusive packages, offering agents a greater choice of touring style, flexibility, and commission-earning potential.
Ben Hall, AAT Kings Group CEO, said: “Our new Small Group tours are proving to be popular with UK guests and now account for around 30% of all sales. The more intimate style clearly appeals, and there is great potential for our trade partners to be pushing these tours to clients looking to really explore and have an adventure – especially in regions popular with UK visitors, including Western Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania and South Australia.
“We’ve had demand for flight inclusive packages for some time now and our expansion into this market last summer means it’s easier than ever to sell an AAT Kings holiday, whatever kind of tour, region or duration the customer is looking for.”
AGENT INCENTIVE
To celebrate the launch of the new Spring offer, AAT Kings is running an agent incentive through its A-Listers loyalty programme, along with bite-sized ‘Teatime Training’ sessions.
A-LISTERS Travel Agent Portal is an on-demand trade-exclusive hub, containing podcasts, videos, rewards, marketing assets, images, and sales tools.
A Learning Hub is linked to each podcast episode, so agents can complete training quizzes and progress through tiers, from ‘Go-Getter’ and ‘Rising-Star’ levels to ultimately reach ‘A-LISTER’ status.
Throughout February, agents will earn gift cards for every Guided Holiday booking made (including Short Breaks and Classic Group tours) with departure dates between 1 April 2026 and 31 March 2027. The higher the A-LISTER status, the higher the reward:
- Go-Getters – £25 gift card per booking
- Rising Stars – £50 gift card per booking
- A-LISTERS – £75 gift card per booking
Bookings should be registered by emailing sales@aatkings.co.uk by 28 February 2026 to be counted in the incentive. Visit the AAT Kings A-LISTERS Agent Academy for further details.
Every Tuesday until the end of March, agents can watch a short 10-minute training video hosted by the UK trade team, Heather Colbourn and Gary Skilling.
The informative videos cover a range of topics including product, promotions and sales tools, and are accompanied by a ‘Wednesday Windays’ quiz question to win prizes such as Life:style gift cards and Australia and New Zealand themed treats.
Winners are announced each Monday. All can be accessed via the AAT Kings Agent Facebook Group at: www.facebook.com/groups/2163042610603376/
