ALEXANDRIA, VA (June 16, 2008) — In order to provide unique, indispensable services for valued clients – the goal of any agent servicing their customers – Vacation.com® is launching an exclusive World Connect program, which enables members to create commissionable, personally-tailored experiences for clients via one toll-free number without having to contact multiple overseas companies.
Furthermore, World Connect has contracted for concierge support in 40 destination cities to ensure that clients return home raving to friends and family about the special travel experience their travel agency customized on their behalf.
"World Connect is unique as it enables our members to earn commissions on clients’ overseas purchases and provide services that were not previously easily accessible," said Steve Tracas, president and CEO, Vacation.com.
"We are continually driven to provide new added value benefits for our membership to strengthen their bottom line while satisfying their client’s needs," he added.
With World Connect, clients could be greeted by a representative at the airport; provided front row seats at shows; line-skipping privileges; hard-to-get reservations at restaurants; and last-minute tickets to premier sporting and entertainment events or other extras – with local, top-notch concierge support along the way.
Discerning travelers will have their travel agents to thank for the unique experience, ensuring repeat customers for Vacation.com members in addition to commission on each customized add-on.
World Connect services are available in Buenos Aires, Sydney, Vienna, Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Prague, Copenhagen, Nice, Paris, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, London, Athens, Budapest, Jakarta, Dublin, Jerusalem, Florence, Milan, Rome, Venice, Tokyo, Mexico City, Amsterdam, Lima, Lisbon, St. Petersburg, Edinburgh, Singapore, Seoul, Barcelona, Madrid, Stockholm, Geneva, Taipei, Bangkok, Istanbul and Dubai.
