Dear Travel Agent,
Summer is over, the kids are back in school, cooler weather is on the way and the Vacation Express web site is brimming with some great fall specials from many different resorts and destinations. Be on the look out for those weekly specials to share with your clients who are looking for a last minute getaway over the next few months. And with so many incredible fall deals available, it’s an ideal time to upsell to that luxury resort your clients really wanted earlier in the year but couldn’t quite swing. In addition to the fall specials, we have some fantastic early booking bonuses for 2011 travel.
Don't forget to consider Vacation Express for your groups. Remember, with us a group starts with 10 adults traveling on the same itinerary. And to continue to help close as many sales as possible, we have extended our Reduced Deposit Plan program into 2011.
Product Updates:
- Palace Resorts - For Palace bookings made August 12, 2010, and beyond for travel in 2010, one Freebie night will be earned for every 3 nights sold.
