The day STIC entered its 40thyear, the company announced the STIC Champion’s League. Making it a year-long celebration for everyone, the next twelve months saw a series of contests and prizes as part of the Champion’s League. These included product knowledge based quizzes, mixed-team contests and also analytical thinking based puzzles. Besides, these, special recognition was given to employees based on reports submission, cleanest desk, zero backlog, behind-the-scene work and individual performance.
In addition, as a show of appreciation to the travel trade, STIC announced STIC-to-Travel contest jointly with Amadeus. The contest was open to travel agents using Amadeus Global Distribution System for bookings. The contest spanned all ticketed sectors of airlines such as SriLankan Airlines, Mihin Lanka, Air China, Royal Brunei, Ukraine International and Ethiopian Airlines which are represented in India by STIC. The contest had multiple winners besides nation-wide engagement and participation.
Marking their 40th anniversary, STIC Travel Group hosted a Family Carnival inviting all their employees with their family members to jointly celebrate the memorable day. The event was a celebration of the team effort and outstanding passion of the entire STIC Family. Apart from the STIC family, the company also invited special guests from Udayan – a Delhi-based NGO working with under privileged kids. The children from Udayan joined STIC family members in the games and added their colour to the event.
Furthermore, STIC hosted their Annual Rewards and Recognition ceremony where the dedicated efforts and outstanding achievements of selected members were acknowledged and awards given for achievements in not only commercial and sales functions but also operational efficiencies and popular awards as voted by all employees of STIC.
The day also saw the unveiling of the new STIC corporate film, which showcased not only the journey of the past 40 years but also congratulatory messages from STIC Industry partners. The evening culminated with a cake cutting ceremony followed by a footloose dance-a-thon led by Subhash Goyal, Founder-Chairman, STIC. Bridging the geographic distance, each STIC branch across the country also celebrated the 40th Anniversary with the same vigour as the Head Office. Dressed in STIC colours, the branch offices were decorated with balloons and buntings. The respective families of STIC staff joined them for a lunch party and shared the joy of the occasion with the entire team.
