TORONTO — Travel advisors can earn an additional $500 on top of their commission when booking with African Travel, Inc.
The luxury safari outfitter is offering the bonus incentive to travel advisors who have a group of 10+ clients travelling together and book a new group safari by Dec. 15, 2022.
According to African Travel, there has been pent-up demand for last-minute bookings for families, solos and couples, as well as agent-hosted groups for 2023 and 2024
With space at a premium, the tour operator has added more dates to its small-group departures. Plus, guests who book 2022 trips by Sept. 30, 2022 can enjoy less crowds and more savings before prices rise in 2023.
“Current travel trends are indicating that safaris are a top bucket-list item since clients are seeking immersive experiences, and we see pent-up demand including an increase in last-minute safari bookings,” says Sherwin Banda, President of African Travel, Inc. “Africa will be welcoming the green season with baby wildlife in abundance and amazing animal sightings, so we encourage travel advisors to book clients’ safaris now since space is limited on our most popular trips.”
Every group journey is customized by African Travel. Plus, with solo travel on the rise, the tour operator is offering no or low single supplements on its 2022 and 2023 safari vacation packages.
Popular last-minute group trips include multi-generation trips to South and East Africa, cultural explorations in South Africa, and best friends’ getaways.
