Destination specialists can win two free cruises for two in Hawaii
on American Safari Cruises’ new mega-yacht flagship, the Safari Explorer
Becoming a Destination Specialist in today's travel marketplace is one of the best investments you can make as a travel professional. You can advance your position and profits from that investment even more if you have unique, authentic and enormously satisfying products in your arsenal. American Safari Cruises recently introduced the 36- to 40-guest Safari Explorer as one of the most exciting new additions to your portfolio as Hawaii Destination Specialists. Since our Hawaii yacht cruises reach into a number of places that many of your clients may not have visited, today's web presentation will provide you with the tools to confidently recommend our program to your repeat Hawaii clients as well as those who want to visit the islands for the very first time. Details about our Safari Explorer yacht, included shore excursions, niche targets such as golf or romance/honeymoon, selling private charters and on an individual stateroom basis, cultural interfaces, pre- and post-resort packages, from-yacht activities and equipment and more will be covered in this comprehensive 90-minute training session. And, as an incentive to participate, a drawing for a free Hawaii yacht cruise will be held within 3 weeks after the webinar. One agent from each of the two scheduled Hawaii DS presentations will win a free Hawaii Safari Explorer cruise for two people in a Mariner category stateroom which can be taken during the 2009 Hawaii spring or fall season. The second requirement to have your name placed in the drawing is to successfully complete the exam to become an American Safari Cruises yacht specialist - a Yachtalist - within the 3-week period between the webinar and the drawing. You will gain another credential to add to your Hawaii accreditation and make it easier to present our one-of-a-kind option to your clients. Information about ASC's other destinations will be summarized during the 90 minute Hawaii discussions. Some study of the ASC brochure and web site would also be required to do the Yachtalist exam.
Note: a minimum of 25 participants in each webinar is required to conduct the free cruise drawing.

American Safari Cruises' Active Warm Waters: Hawaii and Mexico's Sea of Cortés update
Join us for today’s presentation and discover how American Safari Cruises is bringing its own unique brand of luxury yacht cruising to the Hawaiian Islands. Our unique inter-island Hawaiian itinerary is markedly different than the large-ship experience with more than 2,000 passengers. Guests cruise aboard the 36-guest Safari Explorer with a focus on traditional Hawaiian culture and offer opportunities to get to know local residents by visiting their land and their homes. The small guest contingent will have little impact on the islands, and the Safari Explorer’s all-American crew includes Hawaii residents, especially Captains and Naturalists who have personal knowledge of the area.
The discussion will continue outlining how Mexico's Sea of Cortes, a World Heritage Site and biosphere reserve, offers visitors fingertip closeness with many species of flora and fauna that are found nowhere else on earth. Learn more about the people, local culture and protected islands and places that the guests of American Safari Cruises interact with aboard the 22-guest, 120-foot yacht Safari Quest. Discover "the other Galapagos" with its advantage of geographic proximity - home to the rare blue whale, dolphin super pods, burro rides and much more! |
