THE VACATION EXPRESS STRATEGY: Personal service and a select product line

Vacation Express, a boutique tour operator based in Atlanta, has emerged as a preferred tour operator for travel agents looking for a more personalized approach for their clients seeking a top-notch vacation experience to Mexico, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. Vacation Express cuts through the overload of hotel and destination information and compresses it into a highly selective product line designed for all budgets and interest levels. Agents using Vacation Express quickly recognize the value of having a tour operator in their corner that boasts a responsive staff and takes great pride in their product expertise, including the hotels they represent and promote and ultimately sell to you and your clients.

Vacation Express’ product staff has developed profound professional relationships with some of the industry’s most sought after hotels and resorts in the most frequently requested destinations. Each of their experienced product buyers, including the executives of the company, insists on personal examination and assessment of the hotels they sell. These long-term relationships, nurtured over 22 years, translate into excellent service for your clients as well as the most competitive rates available. In an effort to provide a standardized method of determining which hotel is best suited to your client’s personal vacation requirements, Vacation Express makes use of the international 5-star rating system as the basis for its ratings with the addition of a new 6-star category, which allows them to further identify those hotels that are clearly in a class of their own.
