Orlando FlexTicket to join TIPTO
Orlando FlexTicket will join the independent tour operator marketing consortium, TIPTO, on January 1.
Director sales and marketing David McKee said joining TIPTO would help the multi-day ticket specialist increase sales through independent travel agents, one of its key targets for 2008.
“We are keen to get face to face with independents to explain how they can boost their commission earnings with independent travellers to Orlando, as well as add-on sales for clients booking ready-made packages.
“TIPTO’s roadshows and the training facility via the website are great tools for us and we look forward to working closely with the group and agents.”
In March, Orlando FlexTicket will add Orlando’s latest family attraction, Aquatica, SeaWorld’s new waterpark.
This means that the ticket will include 14 days’ unlimited access to six attractions, also covering Universal’s Islands of Adventure, SeaWorld, Universal Studios and Wet ‘n Wild, plus Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.
