The Maldives
The One&Only Palmilla luxury travel at its finest.
Jacque Salentine Busby owner of luxetraveldeals luxury travel agency was as enthusiastic as ever when I spoke to her at One&Only Palmilla the other day.
“Sure business is down a bit”, she said in her characteristically straightforward way.
“Shorter durations may mean more irritating room turnovers to some. To LuxeTravelDeals though, they represent more clients for us to meet personally, and increased return business too”.
Other changes Jacque mentioned include lower rates of advance bookings at luxury resorts, increased uncertainty regarding longer-term occupancy numbers, and reduced interest in remoter destinations. Jacque has responded to these challenges by securing even better deals for travel icons that include Mauritius, the Maldives and Cape Town.
“We are working hard with all our luxury travel resorts”
Jacque added, “We are using these exclusive opportunities to increase our market share while other travel firms grumble about the state of the luxury travel business”. Jacque was among the early few to identify with the increasing demand for family bookings. We soon realized, she told me, that add-ons like resort and spa credits, complimentary transfers and fourth-nights-for-free would be decision discriminators that worked.
Consequently, our numbers are up, and we are flying in the face of luxury travel trends.
“We have detected a significant shift towards value propositions,” Jacque told me. “We are reaching out towards this new opportunity with even greater inspirational value deals. Our luxury resort partners in our more romantically remote destinations understand the need to compensate our clients for their extra traveling time. For our part, we have chosen to pass on the full value that they have added.”
LuxeTravelDeals and CEO Jacque Busby believe in just five principles. These fundamentals are
- rewarding return business
- adding significant value
- recognizing individual personalities
- remaining authentically genuine, and
- providing sterling service.
The LuxeTravelDeals difference and their stamp of authenticity are destined to keep Jacque Busby and her luxury travel agency ahead of most other luxury travel companies in service quality, while they continue to evolve their value offerings in conjunction with the world’s top exclusive luxury travel hotels and resorts.
