• Incentives – many special incentives are offered throughout the year

Last year, TravelBrands added a Disney Destinations micro site on its travel agent platform.

Erminia Nigro, director of sales, Ontario for TravelBrands, said that: “This enables our travel agent partners to discover the magic of Disney Destinations. We are providing the information for travel agents right on our platform without having to go anywhere else,.”

She continued: “They can learn everything there is to know about the most popular parks, resorts and cruises. All that is needed to do is a simple click on the location of interest and plan away. From accommodations to activities or general information, the micro site has all information required on Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Cruises and Aulani.”

And she added: “We will continue to work with The Travel Agent Next Door in growing the business with Disney Destinations and we will provide the best support in the industry to their agents.”
