Brendan Vacations offers Escorted, Customized and Locally Hosted tours to Egypt, Australia, New Zealand, Tahiti, Fiji, South and Central America, the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Its vacations range from one night to 30 days, and the median cost of a package is $1,700. Its Locally Hosted tours are ideal for travelers seeking a semi-independent vacation featuring local host service in each city. This vacation type offers a choice of trip length, hotels and sightseeing, as well as rail transportation between each city and private airport transfers throughout. Clients on a Locally Hosted tour benefit from the services of local host in each city, to assist with questions, optional sightseeing ideas and more. Brendan Vacations pays travel agents a base commission of 10% for land and 5% for air but preferred agreements are in place with most major consortiums.  The company is working on launching the Brendan Academy on its website. By participating in the multitude of self-training programs the company will be launching throughout the season—along with FAM trips, webinars, and face-to-face training with Brendan Vacations sales managers at travel agencies—agents can become true Brendan Vacations experts. Brendan Vacations also encourages agents to experience its tours for themselves by offering discounts on escorted and locally guided vacations to Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Ireland and Britain, South and Central America, Eastern Europe, the U.S. and Canada. Qualified agents may receive up to a 25% discount on the land/cruise portion of the trip. Brendan Vacations also offers a loyalty incentive program allowing agents to earn additional discounts for every Brendan Vacations booking  they make.  For more information on Brendan Vacations’ agent programs, visit its agent-only website, www.brendanvacations.com/agent, which also feature booking capabilities for escorted and independent travel.
