Classic Collection Holidays has a suite of new brochures, now available to agents.
Nine new brochures showcase new destinations like Costa Rica, offer improved pricing and highlight an expanded portfolio of luxury resort hotels and boutique properties, private tours and pre-bookable experiences.
Each brochure has a new design language to keep the content fresh and relevant to Classic?s loyal trade partners. As a result, the operator has seen a 30% uplift year on year for the month of September, in agent requests for brochures for next summer.
Alex Gavalda, director of product & commercial, said, ?Responding to demand from our travel agent partners, we now have an even broader range of bookable properties in addition to those featured in our brochures.
?For example, in our long haul Your World brochure, we feature 11 hotels in the Maldives, but recent investment in upgrades to our reservations system has paid dividends, giving us the flexibility to book holidays from a choice of 70 Maldives properties. Similarly, in Dubai, we have eight hotels in our brochure, but access to over 200. All additional properties meet Classic?s robust health, safety and quality obligations.
?Further to the contracts and offers we have negotiated directly with our brochured properties, we also have live availability and live pricing with a wider range of Classic approved hotel stock. Working this way, we are able to offer our travel agent partners what they have asked for ? the widest choice of properties at the very best available prices.?
Central America?s Costa Rica joins Classic?s growing worldwide portfolio of long-haul destinations. A diverse country, set to become the world?s first zero emissions nation, its cloud forests, protected jungles and stunning beaches provide the perfect escape for unforgettable private tours and self-drive options which the operator can easily tailor to clients? individual requirements.
Expansion of its short haul programme sees the operator adding 20 new boutique hotels across Italy and offering personalised private tours which highlight the culture, history, food and wine for which Italy is known and loved. New destinations include the city of Matera in southern Italy, a relatively undiscovered gem that?s rich with history and breath-taking architecture. Also Elba Island, the biggest of the Tuscan Archipelago. With its tranquil nooks, boat-only accessible bays, azure waters and a myriad of beautiful beaches, Elba is tailor-made for a secluded break. New third party supplier Flexible Autos exerts a favourable influence on range, prices and options for self-drive holidays and vehicle hire options.
Highly competitive deals for autumn and winter 2020 and summer 2021 are available now and Classic Collection Holidays? account managers are supporting agents in the UK with the latest news, new product information and training.
Printed brochures can be ordered through Tradegate and also downloaded online.
