FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Delta Vacations announces enhancements, promotion for travel agents
Price-match guarantee requests now get immediate response
ATLANTA (Dec. 16, 2013) – Delta Vacations, a leading provider of vacation packages, is continuing to improve its
products and services for its travel agent partners with the announcement today of new program enhancements and
an agent-only promotion.
“Maintaining strong relationships with our travel agency partners is vitally important,” said MLT Vacations President
John Caldwell. “Our goal is to listen to them and then act on their feedback in order to continually improve our
products and services, which empowers them to better serve their clients and grow their businesses.”
Travel agents booking Delta Vacations for their clients can now request a price-match guarantee by telephone. Forms
are no longer required and agents can expect an immediate determination on their price guarantee requests. To make
a request by phone, travel agents should make a reservation and then call 1-800-231-2090 within 24 hours of booking.
The price guarantee program is good for any of Delta Vacations’ more than 4,000 hotel and resort locations worldwide
for the same vacation with one of its competitors.
Upgrades have also been made to WorldAgent Direct, Delta Vacations’ travel agent booking portal. To create more
transparency and help eliminate potential surprises for their clients, travel agents can now easily see all estimated
taxes and fees for rental cars included in vacation package bookings. The taxes and fees are also listed in client travel
documents.
Another enhancement within WorldAgent Direct, travel agents can now sort and filter hotels within a destination. This
improved functionality saves time and allows travel agents to easily refine property search for their clients.
Improvements to affiliate program
In response to requests from members of Delta Vacations’ affiliate program, travel agents will now have their agency
name and contact number displayed on all pages of Delta Vacations’ consumer site when accessed through a link from
their agency website. As members of the affiliate program, agents earn full commission and full credit on all consumer
travel booked through their site.
Delta Vacations is also offering its travel agent partners an exclusive agent-only promotional code. Now through Dec.
31, travel agents can save their clients up to $275 per qualified booking to any of more than 250 world-class
destinations. Agents can also earn an additional $25 in bonus commission for qualified bookings to Mexico, the
Caribbean and Hawaii. The travel window for this promotion is Dec. 15 through April 30, 2014. The promotional code
is TAONLY275.
In cooperation with Delta Air Lines, Delta Vacations brings its travel agent partners and their clients superior levels of
service, the lowest airfares on Delta, more ways to earn award travel, and a lowest price guarantee for their vacation
packages.
