New Honeymoon Registry

Happy Vacations has launched a Honeymoon Registry website designed specifically for Home Based Travel Agents.

The site provides a unique service that meets the needs of a growing segment of the population -- couples seeking non-traditional wedding gifts of travel, honeymoon packages and related activities.

Happy Vacations is the first travel wholesaler to offer a honeymoon registry, providing a unique and powerful sales tool for home based travel travel agents, extending honeymoon services to wedding couples.

With the Happy Honeymoon Registry, home based travel agents not only offer expertise on honeymoon travel, but can then help couples fund their honeymoon experience as well. Couples using Happy Honeymoon Registry service book their honeymoon with their travel agent and then register the items and romantic activities of their honeymoon as wedding gifts. Wedding guests then select and purchase from an array of items, for example, a day of snorkeling, a sunset dinner cruise, kayaking, couples massage, hot-air ballooning and airfare contributions.

According to Condé Nast Bridal Media, 10 percent of U.S. brides now register for honeymoons. This has created a perfect market for experiential wedding gifts and the gift of travel. “It only made sense to offer a honeymoon registry to provide both travel agents and their clients with a unique option,” said Nancy Williams, director of Happy Honeymoon Registry. “Many couples don't need or want the traditional wedding gifts of china or toasters. We help make their wedding memorable with a very special gift -- their honeymoon. And travel agents reap the benefit, because couples using our honeymoon registry spend more on their honeymoon packages resulting in larger commissions for the home based travel agent.”

Wedding parties average 166 guests, giving home based travel agents the additional opportunity to market their travel services to the friends and family of the bride and groom. Many travel agents create and print registry announcement cards for their clients, including their travel agency contact information.
