The Travel Impressions Gay & Lesbian Travel program is offering agents a $25 bonus, in addition to their standard commissions, for each reservation that includes the Cancel for Any Reason Travel Protection Plan. Through this promotion, travel agents will earn a $25 booking bonus in the form of an American Express Gift Cheque on all reservations (including the Cancel for Any Reason Travel Protection Plan) booked by Oct. 31 for travel by June 30, 2009. All bookings must be made through the travel agent login on the homepage www.travelimpressions.com/gaytravel.
Agents can book their clients at over 1,000 verified gay-friendly properties in more than 150 destinations located in the continental United States and Hawaii, Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, Tahiti and South Africa, with more destinations to come. To claim the booking bonus, agents must complete the necessary redemption form and fax the completed form to 631-845-7005. The redemption forms can be accessed by logging in to the travel agent section of www.travelimpressions.com/gaytravel. When travel agents book Cancel For Any Reason Travel Protection, their commissions are protected up to $100 per booking (up to $500 per booking for select destinations) on all cancelled reservations that are paid in full. Travel agents must complete the application for commission protection directly with the TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program at the time of cancellation.
Travel agents can opt in to the TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program via the www.travelimpressions.com/gaytravel homepage, in the "Book Gay-Friendly Hotels" section. Registration allows agents to book on the site and it will authorize Travel Impressions to send agents faxes, e-mails and promotions that are specific to the TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program. The TI Gay & Lesbian Travel program offers the same services already available through Travel Impressions: Cancel for Any Reason Travel Protection Plan, 24/7 Customer Care, upgraded documents, highly skilled reservations staff and sales support, and much more. The added benefit is the confidence that travel agents are selling a "gay-friendly" property while receiving all the benefits of booking with a major U.S. tour operator.
