This November, Regent Seven Seas Cruises® will celebrate its sixth annual Travel Advisor Appreciation Month with a series of short expert-led discussions uncovering unique destinations alongside relevant voyages and included shore excursions across Japan, Monaco, Italy and Canada.
Regent has partnered with tourism boards to deliver this informative destination series which goes beyond the well-known sights to uncover the stories, flavours and experiences that make each destination worth discovering.
Lisa Pile, Managing Director, Luxury Group, Asia Pacific, Regent Seven Seas Cruises said: “We love hosting Travel Advisor Appreciation Month and truly value the unwavering support we receive from our travel partners. These easy-to-access destination discussions and marketing toolkits are our way of saying thank you to all of them. We hope it will help them turn travel inspiration into future bookings and revenue from their clients.”
Every week this month, starting 3 November, travel advisors can listen to destination-specific, expert-led discussions via a short, pre-recorded video. From local food and fascinating history to unforgettable experiences, each discussion will come with a ready-to-use marketing toolkit to help travel partners turn destination inspiration into bookings.
