As the popularity of Italy travel continues to soar (especially during a Jubilee year!), Globus is encouraging travel advisors to ditch the complexities of FIT and embrace the ease, value and commissions of touring vacations, including a FAM trip incentive for bookings made through February. A century in the making and a reputation for seamless, “wow-inducing” experiences – not to mention, a dozen different touring styles – Globus is making the case for why tours are the ultimate choice for both travellers and advisors.
“Advisors can make six or more Italy bookings with Globus in the time it takes to piece together the components for an FIT package. And with commissions with a comma, with Globus, they’re not only saving time, but the earning potential is also unmatched,” said Camille Olivere, chief sales officer for the Globus family of brands. “Advisors can trust that Globus will provide a consistent, quality experience for guests with VIP access to must-see sights and the best guides in the industry at an attractive price point. Every piece of the Globus travel package is commissionable and paid to advisors at the final payment date.”
Say Arrivederci to FIT:
- Time is Money: Why cobble together hotels, activities and transfers when Globus’ one-stop-shop approach takes care of all the details, allowing advisors to focus on what they do best: Creating unforgettable client experiences.
- Commission-Friendly: More bookings mean more earnings. Globus’ guided tours offer upfront pricing, eliminating the guesswork while maximizing advisor commissions with a comma.
- Expertise You Can Trust: With 96 years of experience, Globus ensures every step of the journey is seamless. VIP access, insider experiences and perfectly designed itineraries mean clients get more out of their Italy vacation—and advisors get rave reviews like this:
- “A great way to visit Italy! The trip involved an extensive and thoroughly enjoyable itinerary. Each day was full of new things to see and learn about. Every aspect of the trip was well organized. Hotel accommodations were in prime locations and the additional excursions were well worth the cost.” – Gary
- “Our tour to Italy with Globus was an absolute dream!” – Mikaylee
- “Just came back from Italy with Globus. Mind blown. Best trip of my life!” – Tammy
What’s Included with Globus Tours? Everything from sightseeing and hand-picked hotels in the heart of the action to the best Tour Directors in the business. From backstage access to Italy’s iconic landmarks to wine tastings in Tuscany and intimate group experiences in hidden towns, every Globus tour is packed with value, ease and unforgettable moments.
“We recommend turning Globus Italy bookings into a group booking,” added Olivere. “With two to four guests, advisors can promote the trip to others and increase earning power, escort the group themselves and improve profitability. A win-win-win. We have all the tools they need on our Travel Advisor Portal and an expert sales team ready to assist!”
