JAMAICA — Booking Couples Resorts just got a lot easier for travel agents thanks to a new booking engine tool designed to streamline client reservations.

In addition to the new travel agent portal for making and managing reservations, a separate CRM tool called TAConnect was also launched. This component allows members to check their rewards and communicate with the resorts’ BDMs. Canadian agents can easily register to become a Preferred Travel Agent and participate in the Couples Resorts Rewards program via Couples.com.

To celebrate the debut of the new booking engine and TAConnect, Couples is offering a special incentive to agents who sign up and make bookings via the new portal. Agents earn rewards of $10 per reported room night after the booking is confirmed. However, the current promotional period doubles that reward for all new bookings made directly with Couples Resorts through Oct. 5 via the new platform, bringing it up to $20 per room night. Additionally, for every seven confirmed room nights, travel agents earn a free room night for their own use. 

“This new portal is an example of our dedication to provide the best possible service and experience for both agents and their clients, said Abraham Issa, president of sales & marketing at Couples Resorts. “We are confident this, combined with our strong reviews and high ratings online, will make Couples Resorts an easy sell for travel specialists and allow them to book comfortably with us.”

Issa added: “We are looking to expand our loyal travel agent community by enhancing the experience already offered to agents participating in our programs. These tools offer a safe, convenient and rewarding way to make and manage bookings for our resorts. We want to make it easy for agents to book their clients’ vacations and earn incentives for themselves. Our goal is to continue to improve all of our technologies and rewards for repeat guests and travel partners.”
