New cruise excursion company woos agents with commission potential
A new cruise excursion company is offering agents the chance to earn commission on a range of small group tours.
Tripashore, created by A2BAirportParking, is being launched following extensive research with UK cruise passengers.
It found that many cruisers resented being herded around in large groups and were disappointed at the current tours available.
Tripashore, which claims agents can earn ‘excellent commission levels’, says it will offer a wide choice of tours with an average of 12 guests.
The cost of the tour includes a meet and greet at the bottom of the ship’s gangway, all entrance fees, use of small vehicles, flexibility to cancel free of charge up to 16 days prior to departure and a guarantee to get the guest to the next port should they miss the ship.
A2BAirportParking CEO Lee Strongitharm, who founded Tripashore, said: "We have launched Tripashore to focus on what passengers really want and we aim to become the cruise tour provider of choice for cruise guests, travel agents and the world’s leading cruise tour suppliers."
Strongitharm has assembled a specialist team which includes head of sales, Craig Jeffs, joining from MSC Cruises and head of product, Bernadette Thomason, joining from Carnival UK.
Tripashore summer 2016 tours will be available soon but agents can register now on the website.
