At Krystal Resorts, Mexico’s most-loved destinations come alive. The brand prides itself on offering properties on the best beaches in the most popular destinations in Mexico, from Cancun and Ixtapa to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta.
“Cancun and the Riviera Maya as a single destination is by far the number one for Canadians travelling to Mexico, and that includes Central, Eastern, and Western Canada. Number two is Vallarta, where we have four properties, and number three is Cabo,” notes Dave Emery, Sales Manager for Canada at Krystal Hotels & Resorts.
“With so many flights with Air Canada Vacations to Cancun and Cabo from all over Canada, it does make it really easy for guests to get back to travelling and enjoy these areas in Mexico.”
With demand for quality beach getaways as strong as ever, Krystal continues to deliver the kind of satisfying, hassle-free experiences travellers seek.
“Demand is back to pre-pandemic levels. People are just happy to be able to travel as normal again, with a normal lack of restrictions,” says Emery.
Krystal Kash: Boosted Rewards with Effortless Online Booking
As travellers increasingly set their sights on adventures down south, travel advisors have an added incentive to capitalize on this demand by showcasing Krystal Resorts as a go-to choice.
With the Krystal Kash agent incentive program, advisors who book their clients at a Krystal resort can receive an Amazon gift card on top of their commission with the tour operator – and it just got easier. Instead of submitting your booking information via email, you can now fill out an online form.
“I pay out the Amazon gift cards in the month after the clients checkout. This is just a little thank you and extra value-add for when the agents have already determined that it’s the correct property for their client,” notes Emery. “It’s really easy and quick to do and it works with all Air Canada Vacations bookings and all Krystal properties.”
Besides the Krystal Kash, Air Canada Vacations has its own perks for choosing the brand.
All-inclusive bookings to Krystal resorts all come with Air Canada Vacations’ Vacation Promise. It includes:
- Free first checked bag
- Connecting flights from over 60 Canadian airports
- Secured group rates up to two years in advance
- Price matching up to $50 per person
- Full refund or waived change fees if a flight is cancelled
“Working with the Canadian tour operators, including Air Canada Vacations, is absolutely critical to selling and marketing any of the Krystal properties in Mexico. We really value that relationship,” says Emery. “It makes it so easy for our travel agent partners to quote and book any of the Krystal properties. When they go through Air Canada Vacations, they’ve already booked for their clients their all-inclusive Krystal property, their transfers to and from the airport, as well as their flights. So that’s the easiest way to book, is through Air Canada Vacations and our tour operator partners.”
Air Canada Vacations’ Collections help guide the trade in choosing the vacation package that best fits their client’s interests – and they also come with some sweet bonuses. Both the Krystal Grand Los Cabos and Krystal Grand Cancun are highlighted for their family, spa, and wedding/honeymoon-focused offerings.
Both properties are also part of Air Canada Vacations’ Play Program, which promise the ultimate family vacation with perks perfect for kids:
- Kids eat, play, and stay free
- Pre-boarding for families
- Dedicated pool areas or sections for kids
- Supervised kids’ clubs, and more
Travel advisors represent a crucial link between Krystal’s offerings and discerning travellers seeking all-inclusive experiences.
“We rely on travel advisors to talk about these properties. We have frequent FAMs so that the agents can experience the properties. We also have agent rates,” Emery says. “We appreciate when agents take time to either join us on a FAM or ask for and book agent rates at one of our properties so they can do a better job with their clients.”
