To be in with a chance of winning the prize, agents must make a booking at selected hotels from Classic’s new Italy brochure.

The programme includes 42 new properties, luxury private yacht charters and rail travel from the UK to Florence and Venice.

Agents must make a booking for departures between 11 April and 31 May to enter, with each sale counted as one entry.

Those who secure bookings will receive a ticket and be entered into a weekly ballot. One name will be drawn every week and placed into the grand final draw on the 10 June.

One agent will be selected as a winner of the Vespa - and will also be able to personalise the scooter to their taste.

The incentive comes as Classic increases its Italian portfolio, adding seven hotels to its Sorrento and Amalfi Coast offering. Sardinia properties include Forte Village alongside the first Conrad to open in Italy - Conrad Chia Laguna Sardinia - as well as the new 7Pines Resort.

In Sicily, the brochure features eight new properties including two all-inclusive hotels, Unahotel Naxos Beach Sicilia and Gran palladium Sicilia Resort & Spa.

Meanwhile new tours include a gastronomic tour of Tuscany, while luxury yacht charters I include a skipper and crew and serve party sizes from two to eight.

Alex Gavalda, director of product and commercial, said: “Italy is a major part of the Classic Collection portfolio and it’s encouraging to see that, since January, sales have bounced back to 2019 levels. Average booking values have also seen a significant increase.”

Mirko Buzzelli, product purchasing manager, and head of the Italy team added: “The biggest focus points in terms of regions have been Sorrento, which remains our main destination in Italy in terms of volume, and where we have expanded our range giving customers more choice of 4-star properties popular on the UK market.

“In Sicily and Sardinia, we recognised huge potential for growth, adding all-inclusive options, new boutique hotels and some exciting new openings in the luxury segment. With rail travel, 12 unique private tour itineraries and exclusive yacht charters we’ve covered all the bases.”
