Sceptre Declares June Agent Appreciation Month

Celebrating its success selling F.I.T. packages to Ireland only through travel retailers, Sceptre Tours-Travel To Ireland has declared the month of June to be "Travel Agent Appreciation Month."

For each booking received by June 30, 2006 (for travel completed by Aug. 31, 2006) the agency will be entered into a drawing in which the grand prize winner will receive an Emerald Castle Vacation for two with airfare courtesy of Aer Lingus. Nine additional winners will be selected (10 winners in total), each receiving a $100 American Express Gift Card.

Each booking counts as one entry. The more vacations sold, the greater the chances for the agency to win. "As our numbers clearly indicate, travel agents appreciate our dedication to the agent community and have come to see the value of booking with us," said Chris Accomando, president of Sceptre Tours. "In return, we are thanking our travel agent friends for making Sceptre Tours the most successful F.I.T. tour operator to the Emerald Isle by giving away 10 prizes including a free trip to Ireland."

The Emerald Castle Vacation includes Irish breakfast daily, a weekly car rental, and six nights' accommodations at various Bed & Breakfast and first-class hotel properties, including one night in the luxurious Adare Manor Hotel & Golf Resort.
