Sandals and Beaches Resorts’ tour partner, Island Routes Caribbean Adventure Tours, has launched its first dedicated UK trade-facing brochure to help agents increase their commission.
The new brochure, created by Sandals and Beaches' UK tour operator, Unique Caribbean Holidays Ltd., includes a selection of the Company’s most popular island tours in destinations including Jamaica, Barbados, The Bahamas, Turks & Caicos, Antigua, Grenada and Saint Lucia, starting from £59 per person.
Agents can earn full commission on every Island Routes tour booked, allowing them to increase their earnings alongside flight and luxury accommodation packages. Sandals and Beaches Resorts’ tour operator, Unique Caribbean Holidays Ltd. (UCHL), launched the tours alongside spa treatments, airport lounges and private candlelit dinners, as Sandals Extras which are now easy for agents to book online or via the call centre. On average, two-add ons are booked per holidaymaker, worth an average of £200-300 per booking.
The brochure includes personal anecdotes from Sandals and Beaches Resorts’ UK Sales Team about the tours that they have experienced and enjoyed as well as a selection of the best excursions on offer on each island. Helpful information for agents such as what clients must bring with them on their tour, duration, and frequently asked questions are also featured. Highlights include:
- Snorkel Sunset Cruise in Barbados – Your clients will experience the turquoise waters that surround Barbados aboard our catamaran and enjoy an afternoon with complimentary beverages. They’ll sail the coast to a tranquil bay to snorkel a shallow shipwreck then head over to a cay, where they’ll enjoy a delicious buffet style dinner alongside the beauty of a Caribbean sunset. Prices start from £75 per person
- Exuma (The Bahamas) Swimming with Pigs Adventure – Your clients will enjoy a powerboat excursion while they swim with the famous Bahamian pigs, snorkel and experience the beauty of the Exumas in one tour. They’ll have the chance to take photos atop an island with 360º views of the Exuma cays, visit the Bahamian rock Iguanas and see a natural blow hole. Prices start from £155 per person
- Hiking the Pitons in St Lucia – Towering nearly 800m above sea level, the majestic peak of Gros Piton, along with its twin peak Petit Piton, dominates the western coast of St Lucia. Your clients will snake up the beautiful mountainside for breath-taking views from the top. On the way back, they will stop for lunch with local delicacies and a swim in the Caribbean Sea. Prices start from £129 per person
