The original brand, Globus, is for clients interested in first-class escorted travel. For clients on a stricter budget, Cosmos’ affordable vacations combine the freedom of independent travel with the benefits of group travel. Monograms is ideal for clients who want the freedom of independent travel but who prefer the convenience of a package. Avalon Waterways, with one of the newest fleets in the industry, is an ideal choice for clients interested in river and small-ship cruising.
Explain to clients the long history of Globus, and its status as one of the leading escorted travel companies worldwide. Its vast experience, scope and strong relationships with suppliers—the company provides more than 10,000 travel departures annually—ensures that its customers benefit from cost savings and are traveling with a time-tested, reliable operator.
On a spring day in 1928, when Antonio Mantegazza was using his family’s rowboat to transport lumber across beautiful Lake Lugano in Switzerland, he became inspired to share the stories and legends of his home with others. He soon began transporting tourists instead of wood, and Globus was born.
Now one of the world’s largest tour, package and river cruise operators, Globus also includes the Cosmos, Monograms and Avalon Waterways brands. At the core of the company’s philosophy are the ideals of its founder—passion, hard work, innovation and love of travel.
The Globus family of brands offers escorted and packaged independent travel and river cruises to more than 70 countries worldwide. The company’s main focuses are Europe and North America, with growing expertise in South America and Asia; its offerings also include the South Pacific and Africa. The average price for a package from the Globus family of brands is between $1,500 and $3,500 per person. Prices range from $289 for a three-night city stay in New Orleans to $8,299 for a 28-day tour to Australia.
The Globus family of brands pays travel agents a base commission of 10%, but they can earn as much as 17%. The company offers a wide variety of agent training options, including Travel University courses; the Avalon Waterways Specialist program; a robust monthly calendar of webinars that include everything from product and marketing to trends discussions with executives; and videos that help agents quickly get acquainted with the product. All training resources can be found on the company’s agent portal, www.globusfamilypartner.com.
To reward preferred travel agent partners, Globus offers the Preferred Points Program. Agents earn a 1% increased discount for their own personal travel for every passenger they book online through Globus’ travel agent portal. The points are good for the agent and a companion. Agents can earn a free land trip (up to a $2,500 value, land only) or a river cruise (up to a $3,500 value).
