Thoughtfully designed for travel agents worldwide, it both equips them to delight group clients with complete solutions offering exceptional value and offers a powerful tool to grow their businesses.
With groups starting from just eight guests, travel agents can unlock a wide range of exclusive benefits, including protected pricing and flexible amenity options.
This makes the new programme perfect for everything from special celebrations, such as honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays and family and friends’ reunions, to MICE, which is also richly supported, from training trips and reward programmes to leadership retreats – all in an exclusive, culturally rich environment equipped with full facilities.
Because Swan Hellenic’s luxury boutique ships accommodate just 152 or 192 guests, an intimate, private atmosphere is guaranteed.
Delving into the details of Swan Hellenic’s new Group Travel Programme, it’s clear that every aspect has been built with client satisfaction and travel agent earnings in mind.
Travel agents benefit from additional commission of 2% to 4%, a reduced tour leader threshold, and the peace of mind that no initial deposit is required to hold group space. Plus, protected pricing ensures group bookings are managed consistently across all Swan Hellenic channels. Agents never have to worry that their clients will see lower prices elsewhere after committing to their booking. That both safeguards the travel agent’s client relationships and protects their earnings.
Business growth likewise benefits from real flexibility to customise perks to client needs, confident sales thanks to protected pricing, and full Business Development Manager support with sales tools, marketing co-op funds, marketing assistance and guidance. Every group naturally also enjoys all Swan Hellenic’s signature inclusions.
“Our new Group Travel Programme is designed to be simple, flexible and rewarding for travel agents, while delivering the extraordinary experiences and enhancing the value for which Swan Hellenic is famous,” said Carlos Garzon, V.P. of Global Sales. “This is about giving our partners the tools they need to create something truly memorable for their clients.”
