Handily I’ve been using a Sunshine.co.uk incentive competition entry to check out the latest deals for Magalluf. The Palma Nova Majorca site has been set up by an affiliate for a chance to win a dream prize to Barbados. Good luck to them.

New travel merchant Sunshine.co.uk announced on 11th April they are offering tickets to the Affiliate Future Barbados 2008 event.

On 22nd June, a group of affiliates and merchants are jetting off to Barbados for 7 days of bathing in the sun and spending the evenings drinking rum.

Chris Clarkson has been blogging and has had 3 tickets to give away. He has set a series of missions, which at the end of them should still prove useful for those who entered but didn’t win as they should have a stand-alone travel site that they could be proud of.

One ticket will be offered as a prize draw for every affiliate that gets 100 sales over the course of the incentive. I’d assume this would go to an already established travel site.

The other 2 tickets have been up for any type of affiliate to get involved in and a summary of the missions were:

• Mission #1 Register a domain name for a Sunshine.co.uk resort, region or country
• Mission #2 Sunshine.co.uk are sending an affiliate and their partner on a 7-day holiday this week. The affiliate who entered Mission #1 has to report back daily pictured with a gentleman sporting a pair of speedos!

• Mission #3 The affiliates with the domain names had to get a home page up within 72 hours. The page had to be optimised and look presentable.
• Mission #4 With 4 tickets remaining, affiliates or even their colleagues, friends and family are encouraged to blog about the competition. But don’t tell too many people eh? I really wouldn’t mind winning a Sunshine.co.uk holiday this year!

Sunshine.co.uk have their own affiliate section on their site that includes dynamic banners, search boxes, HTML newsletters and RSS feeds.
