| The members of The Exclusive Travel Collection have aligned themselves in a program to advocate you, the Travel Advisor, by offering you a complimentary amenity of your choice to send to your client with an attached personal hand-written note card with your specific message on it for you to “surprise and delight” your client in an extremely personal way. If you already have an amenity agreement with one of our member resorts, through your marketing alliance or consortia, our Exclusive Travel Advisor Amenity is in addition to the other amenity and not a substitution of that amenity! It does not matter how you book your reservation either; through a wholesaler, online, part of a tour or cruise schedule, direct, GDS! One complimentary amenity for each and every separate leisure accommodation reserved. It is our pleasure to bring this Travel Advisor advocacy program to you. Our member resorts are the true Travel Advisor advocates. We simply proclaim their advocacy through our complimentary programs. |
| We are very pleased to announce a way for every Travel Advisor that we have met personally to experience our member resorts on a complimentary basis!
Our member resorts are: How it works: Every Travel Advisor that we meet will have an “account” established for them for every member resort. Every member resort of our Collection has established a VERY easily achievable room night “threshold” level in which they will award a complimentary night (or stay) once the Advisor crosses this threshold through the reservations they make. 1) Once you have a confirmed reservation with one of our member resorts and send a complimentary amenity to your client, your bank account for the resort you booked will be automatically credited. You do not need to email us separately. 2) If you choose not to send an complimentary amenity to your client, but want to receive credit for a reservation you made at one of our resorts, simply email tom@etravele.com and provide the following information: last name on reservation(s), arrival and departure date, total number of rooms per night booked, the confirmation number on the reservation (if you have one) and your IATA, CLIA or TRUE Number. All leisure reservations qualify. Your client can travel anytime at any leisure rate. 3) Periodically, we will email you to let you know your balance (if you have one) at each member resort. Once you cross their threshold and your client(s) has already traveled on their vacation at a member resort, you can take your complimentary night or you can continue to add into your “account” until you double the threshold to gain an additional night, after that client checks out. Since most lead times on reservations are mid to close in, waiting until the client travels on their vacation to use your balance should never be an issue. The Travel Advisors we meet tell us that the best way to communicate with your clients is to speak from personal perspective and kowledge, adding to your Expert Resource mystique. Speaking from the “first person, singular” speech builds tremendous credibility to your communication and thus makes you even more of a valuable resource to your clients. The members of the Exclusive Travel Collection are truly committed to YOUR success. These resorts have many choices on what booking portals to support. They are clearly stating that they support the luxury & upscale Leisure Travel Advisor by offering you this program. They not only want to serve your clients, but want to serve you as well. |

Rules & Regulations: Corporate Group rated rooms do not qualify for this Program, only leisure rated rooms. Leisure Groups, like family reunions, do qualify for this program, as long as they are booked through the leisure reservations department and not the group sales department. “Accounts” are only established in the individual advisor’s name, not an Agency's name. There can not be any combination of different advisor’s room nights in order to cross a “threshold”. The Travel Advisor must be present at check in to use the complimentary room night(s) and are intended only for the Advisor and one significant other. The Complimentary room(s) cannot be transferred to a client, relative, friend or colleague. If a member resorts leaves the ETE Collection and the Advisor has not yet reached the room night threshold for a complimentary room, those room nights are forfeited. If the Travel Advisor has reached the complimentary room night threshold at the time a member resort leaves the ETE Collection, it is up to the sole discretion of the member resort leaving the Collection if they want to honor the Advisor's complimentary nights. Account balances have no value. ETE may change or cancel this program in part or in its entirety at anytime without notice. |
