Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA) and Marriott International announced a new partnership that will offer commissions to CLIA members on qualified hotel bookings across Marriott’s 19 brands.
In addition to commission, CLIA agency and individual agent members will also get access to Marriott’s Fam-Tastic familiarization rates. Agents who are associated with a qualifying CLIA travel agency and hold a CLIA EMBARC ID are eligible to access the rates once they successfully complete Marriott’s Hotel Excellence training program and become a Hotel Sales Specialist (HSS), certified by Marriott.
Windstar Cruises announced the new Star Promise program of educational tools and support for travel agents.
The line added the Star Groups program, which is split into two levels of benefits, Star Group and Star Advantage. Star Group includes five percent discount from savings fares, a tour conductor policy of 1:9 people, a new guest amenity of $100 per person shipboard credit and a complimentary cocktail party with 18 plus guests.
Star Advantage benefits include 10 percent discount from savings fares, $100 per person travel agent bonus commission, a tour conductor policy of 1:9 people, a guest amenity of $100 per person shipboard credit and a complimentary cocktail party for 18 plus guests.
Also under Star Promise is the Star FAM program, which will offer free cruises to travel agents on select cruises throughout 2016. Eight different itineraries will be available for a limited time. Finally, agents who complete the Star Specialist program by June 23 will be eligible for a $100 bonus commission on future Windstar Cruises booking.
