You can sue him. He is very likely contractually obligated to keep this promise. You didn't explain how you "won" the trip but I will assume it was from meeting some sales quota. That sets up a requirement that he come through with the money.

Good luck.

He is breaching his contract with you. Assuming your earned the trip you can probably pursue the matter as a wage claim as well as a straight contract claim.
