Classic Vacations is making life easier for travel advisors by introducing an enhanced multi-destination booking platform.
The new online booking engine will allow users to book multiple destinations, providing them with increased flexibility and convenient real-time access to Classic Vacations' Preferred and affiliate inventory.
With the new platform, advisors can search for, courtesy hold, and facilitate multi-city tours, island-hopping adventures and cross-country expeditions for their clients. Additionally, Classic Vacations has added specialized packaging services for advisors who want to add components such as air, rail, ground transportation and in-destination tours, among others.
Other significant program benefits users will notice include mobile-friendly itineraries that they can send to clients and industry-leading fraud protection for online booking security.
"After all these years, I couldn't be more excited to offer a digital solution designed for, and with, our travel advisors. With a new set of features, benefits, and access to our Preferred inventory for the first time, this new booking platform, and our overall digital transformation, is central to our focus on innovation, excellence and adding value to our ecosystem of Advisors, Hotels and Partners," said Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations.
"Classic is unique in the wholesale space by delivering on the trifecta—we sell beautiful luxury hotels, we provide impeccable white glove service, and we offer great technology," Krueger added. "For over 45 years, by helping advisors deliver outstanding experiences through highly personalized service, trusted partnerships, and curated products, we are proud to continue delivering more for our advisors in a very meaningful way."
"Imagine the possibilities this opens for our advisors," said Classic Vacations' Vice President of Solutions, Amy Logan. "If you have a client who wants to travel to Europe and visit several countries, which is typical—gone are the days of booking one property at a time and worrying about whether the inventory is real-time and held for you."
"This platform allows access to all our Preferred partner hotels and villas, plus all other global affiliate inventory together. We will personally help wrap these bookings with our curated packaging service for in-destination tours, activities and more.
"We know this is game-changing, and we are so excited to bring this to our advisor community," concluded Logan.
