Marriott Launches Travel Agent Promotion

Marriott  has launched a “Send Love This Valentine’s Day” promotion designed exclusively for travel agents.

 Qualified travel agents can enter for a chance to win a trip to Las Vegas by sending eCards full of love between February 1 – February 19, 2010. The Grand Prize includes a three-night stay at the JW Marriott Las Vegas Resort & Spa, coach airfare for two and two tickets to experience Cirque du Soleil’s latest production, LOVE, which celebrates the musical legacy of The Beatles.

 To enter, travel agents can visit marriott.com/travelagents and access the Love Travel Agents page.

Marriott’s longstanding commitment to the travel agent community began more than 20 years ago with the creation of a Fam-Tastic familiarization rate program, which now offers certified Hotel Sales Specialists special rates as low as US$44 at over 3,100 Marriott International hotels worldwide. Marriott was also one of the first companies to centralize travel agent commissions, and is one of the only hotel companies worldwide to offer a double commission guarantee for commissionable rate bookings.

In addition, Marriott is celebrating more than 10 years of the Hotel Excellence! program, the self-paced online training program created to maximize travel agents’ success in selling hotel stays for individual travel. This free global program, is offered in nine languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Turkish. The program launched four additional training modules that addressed emerging segments of the travel business including demographic and psychographic niche market travel. Since the program’s inception, Marriott has certified over 150,000 graduates in more than 100 countries.
