Geoff Millar replied to Tom Ogg's discussion Apple Leisure to invest US $1 billion in six new hotels in Quintana Roo"We do now have to visit Cancun and the Riviera Maya 3 or 4 times a year to keep up. The largest change and biggest growth I have seen has been in the Akumal area. Yet, the occupancy rate average for decent hotels in Cancun and Riviera Maya is over…"

Geoff Millar posted a discussionRiver Cruise situation
We are still in the mode of growing our River Cruise business but ran in to something that we are seeing more and more of and that is, in lieu of discounting, cruise companies are getting very aggressive with giving shipboard credits over and above what the River Cruise lines give. We just had a sale we lost becasue a potential client said that a competing agency would give her $300 a person in shipboard credits, for a total of $600 in shipboard credits for her and her husband directly from the agency and over and above what she was receiving from the cruiseline. She also said something shocking, she said the cruiseline recommended that she contact one of their preferred agencies because they would be able to give her some extras that the cruiseline coud not. This is the third time we have run into this type of thing with River Cruises. I just want to say it was not Viking. Is anyone else seeing anything similar?See More

Emanuel Cabral replied to Geoff Millar's discussion Excite Holidays"Hi Geoff, they do have a large portfolio of hotels that other operators do not carry which is a plus. Once enrolled it is pretty straightforward on their booking process. Don’t forget to add your commission at the end as I almost did. Happy…"
