Sceptre Tours Offers 14% Commission on Groups

Sceptre Tours, a specialist in vacation packages to Ireland, Scotland and London, is now offering a minimum 14 percent commission on group bookings. In addition prices on group bookings are quoted in gross fares so that agents can add their own mark-up to enhance profits.

Sceptre guarantees a "no nonsense" same-day price quote return policy. Depending on group size and inclusions, Sceptre Tours offers free spaces that can be used for a travel agent host, leader or escort, or can alternatively be factored into the cost of the trip to provide additional savings.

Sceptre Tours is currently offering a promotion in which awards home based travel agents with a free fam trip for every group reservation (20 or more people) booked under deposit by June 30 (travel must be completed by Dec. 31, 2008 to qualify).

Group vacations are completely customizable and can include magical experiences in Ireland, Scotland, London or any combination of the three. "By specializing only in Ireland, Scotland and London, we are able to sustain advantageous relationships with hotels and other partners, enabling us to negotiate special rates for group travel," said Chris Accomando, president of Sceptre Tours. "This gives us the ability to price group travel below our competitors, while offering 14 percent commission or more to the travel agent, and the fastest quote they've ever received, guaranteed within 24 hours.

As our way of thanking our home based travel agent partners, we will award a free FAM trip for group travel booked under deposit by June 30.
