Advantage signs two-year deal with luxe operator
Caribbean specialist tour operator Caribtours has signed a two-year deal with Advantage Travel Partnership, starting from January 1.
Speaking at the launch of its winter campaign, Caribtours MD Paul Cleary said 90% of the company’s business comes via independent agents.
"Having worked with Advantage members over a number of years it just made sense to formalise that relationship and put in place a central deal that will help ensure we work even more closely over the next two years and beyond," he said.
"It is an exciting time for Caribtours and also an exciting time for Advantage – we are delighted to be working closely with the team forging closer ties with their members. I am very optimistic indeed that we will develop more close partnerships with new agents within their group."
Cleary claimed bookings were up 25% for 2014.
