Committed To The Trade
Karisma Hotels & Resorts has introduced new bonuses and enhancements to its Gourmet Inclusive Agent Rewards program and signature Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant program. Following the successful launch of its travel agent sales & marketing portal, Karisma is demonstrating its ongoing commitment to its agency partners with the debut of new incentives.
Sabrina Filatow, director of sales for Karisma Hotels & Resorts, observed: “We are proud to support our travel agent partners in a way that is unparalleled in the industry by continuing to evolve our programs and offer increased benefits, compelling bonuses, and new levels in recognition of their commitment to our brand’s distinctive properties and Gourmet Inclusive Experience.”
Filatow said: “In addition to providing agents with the essential tools and resources they need to sell most effectively, we believe that it is imperative to show our appreciation and motivate agents with generous incentives that will lead to even greater success.”
Members of Karisma’s complimentary Gourmet Inclusive Agent Rewards program will now receive enhanced benefits, including: exclusive booking bonuses, innovative sales and marketing tools, personalized online profiles, invites to FAM trips, complimentary WiFi, 20 percent off spa services when staying at any Gourmet Inclusive resort, a welcome letter and amenity for clients, Friends & Family Travel (non-commissionable discounted rates to visit Karisma Hotels & Resorts with friends and family), and access to the Travel Agent Sales & Marketing Portal, a one-stop-shop for tracking progress and registering bookings. Travel agents can register online to start earning points, and every month, one lucky winner will receive a three-night getaway for two at one of Karisma Hotels & Resorts’ properties.
As well, Karisma announced additional benefits associated with participation in its renowned Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant program. New as of this year, Karisma Hotels & Resorts presents two new recognition levels, higher yearly cash bonus incentives, more certificates per level, candlelight and spa certificates for renewing members, WOW upgrades, and dynamic new profiles for consumer web search that allow guests to instantly book and view a video of the agent, which are the first of its kind.
The two new recognition levels – Silver and Karisma Elite – will further recognize agents’ successes, which will be honored at the annual Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultant Awards in December 2015 for accomplishments this year.
The new Silver level starts at 50 room nights per year and recognizes the efforts of even the newest members. Benefits for the Silver level include seven WOW Upgrades (one per hotel), seven Sweet Upgrades, two organic spa treatments for two guests, and two candlelight dinners.
The new Karisma Elite level is now the programs’ highest honour, achieved by booking more than 2,000 room nights per year. Rewards include additional added value certificates, four five-night complimentary stays valid for two people each, and a $15 cash bonus for every room night sold surpassing the previous year.
Karisma Hotels & Resorts has also increased the yearly cash bonus incentives for its Diamond levels in addition to a new cash bonus at every level.
