| The members of The Exclusive Travel Collection have aligned themselves in a program to advocate you, the Travel Professional, 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 Agent 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 separate leisure accommodation reserved. It is our pleasure to bring this Travel Profesisonal advocacy program to you. Our member resorts are the true Travel Professional advocates. We simply proclaim their advocacy through these complimentary programs. |
| We are very pleased to announce a way for every Travel Professional that we have met personally to experience our member resorts on a complimentary basis! Our First Place positioned member resorts are: ~Blackberry Farm, Walland, TN ~The Broadmoor, Colorado Springs, CO ~Barnsley Gardens, Adairsville, GA ~Colonial Williamsburg Resorts, Williamsburg, VA ~Encantado, Sante Fe, NM ~Dancing Bear Lodge, Townsend, TN ~The Greenbrier, White Sulphur Springs, WV ~Gasparilla Inn & Club, Boca Grande, FL ~Glendorn, Bradford, PA ~The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, Bluffton, SC ~Watercolor Inn, Santa Rosa, FL ~Mammoth Mountain Resort, Mammoth Lakes, CA ~Hotel Grande Bretagne, Athens, Greece ~Arion Resort and Spa, Athens, Greece ~Westin Astir Palace Beach Resort, Athens, Greece ~Blue Palace Resort andSpa, Crete, Greece ~Santa Marina Resort andVillas, Mykonos, Greece ~Mystique, Oia, Santorini, Greece ~Vedema Resort, Santorini, Greece How it works: Every Travel Professional 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 “threshold” level in which they will award a complimentary night (or stay) once the Agent crosses this threshold. 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/departure date, total number of room nights booked, the confirmation number on the reservation (if you have one) and your IATA, CLIA or Home Based Agent Number. You MUST email ETE in the quarter that you booked the reservation in order for the reservation to be added into your “account”. 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 a 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 travels. 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 great news is that there are no gift certificates to worry about with expiration dates on them!) |
