We
have been extensively involved with the event management and travel
industry since 1999. We have assisted organizations of all sizes
conduct their meetings, conferences, workshops and incentive programs on
ships and land resorts throughout the world. We know the
industry well and our experience helps you have a cost-efficient, cost-effective program that is smooth as clockwork and meets your program
and budget objectives. Some of the advantages of using us are:
- It Does Not Cost You More to Use Us
We
are compensated by the vendor through commissions so there is no
separate fee or expense to you to book the event*. The price we
give you will be the same or lower than the resort will give you.
They are not going to discount the resort price by the commission amount to you if you book directly, they just keep that savings as extra profit.
They have their best interest at heart and all your dealings with them
will be centered around what's good for them. They hope
your inexperience will leave money on the table for amenities and other
things you may not know to ask for. Booking a large group,
particularly a meeting and incentive group is not the same as booking
an individual vacation. We are an independent advocate for you.
Our client is you and we do everything we can to get you the most for
the money you are spending and to take advantage of every program
available to do it. Booking directly with the vendor generally
means you will be dealing with a large call center and may or may not
deal with the same person twice. With us, you know exactly who you will
be dealing with and we know how to take care of whatever needs to be
done.
We
know how to get the most for your money and how to negotiate with the
resort to ensure your program is a success. Most importantly, we
know the unique differences in the brands and resorts to
ensure the right one is selected that will best serve the unique
characteristics and demographics of your group.
There
are a wide variety of issues related to the Department of Homeland
Security and a myriad of other requirements that can be costly or
disruptive if not done properly. Look at it this way, if your group is
100 people for example and you make a $1.00 mistake in the bookings,
you have just spent $100 you didn't have to. If you make a $10 mistake,
which is not hard to do for the inexperienced or untrained, you are
suddenly incurring significant unnecessary expenses. This is all
avoidable. We have sophisticated software and systems coupled with
experienced and knowledgeable staff that pay close attention to detail
so we protect your interest.
*We
do offer special optional fee-based services such as a unique event
website for your program with online registration and booking and site
management at a nominal fee but again, those are strictly optional to
you.
