Collette Vacations, a global leader of world travel offering escorted vacation experiences to all 7 continents, today announced the launch of its Book your own Bonus campaign. This travel agent incentive program which begins September 1 incentivizes individual travel agents with limitless earnings and is in addition to Collette’s competitive commission on Land, Air, and Pre-Sold Options. Travel agents qualify by making their first new retail booking on ANY Collette tour including its small group tour brand, Explorations; Collette Family Vacations; and on all Smithsonian Journeys Travel Adventures affordable learning vacations.
Essentially, travel agents can pull in limitless earnings and watch their “bonus” grow with Collette. Each booking made after the initial qualifying booking earns the individual travel agent $50 and each booking builds on the one before (2nd booking=$50; 3rd Booking=$100; 4th Booking=$150; and 5th Booking=$200). For any booking after 5, travel agents earn $200 per booking with no limit on how much they can earn. The offer is valid on new retail bookings only made between 9/1/11-4/30/12 for departure in 2012.
“We had thousands of travel agents qualify for our 5 for $500 agent incentive campaign last year and are pleased to be able to offer Book your own Bonus – the easiest Collette agent incentive ever,” says Frank Marini, Collette Vacations’ vice president of sales. “Agents start earning their bonus with just their second Collette booking and there is no incentive cap.”
Innovations at Collette also make it easier than ever for travel agents to increase their bookings. Complimentary roundtrip home to airport sedan service on air-inclusive bookings has been a major selling advantage and one that makes it easy to secure Collette bookings as the service is seen as a value-add by consumers. In addition, thousands of guaranteed departure dates; Discounting Protection – Collette does not accept bookings from online, discount-only agents; and commission on pre-sold options distinguish Collette in the market.
Collete Vacations shares that these incentives will be paid within 30 days following the quarter that the qualifying bookings have traveled. A booking is defined as a minimum of two full paying passengers in a double room or a single passenger in a single room. All payments are payable per agent and bookings cannot be combined with other agency bookings. Other restrictions may apply; agents should call for details. Not valid on group or existing bookings.
