RE:Buy AC NOW or pay up later For Air Canada Vacations, the big sellers so far are Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. And ACV’s Flight & Hotel sales “have seen a big demand right across Europe,” says Managing Director, Nino Montagnese.
Asked about pricing, Montagnese says ACV managed to negotiate excellent rates, “however those are for early bookings. The demand is high and prices are rising.”
He adds: “Prices are only going to go up the closer we get to departure. If clients are holding out for better prices, they shouldn’t. Encourage Europe customers to book now.”
ACV released its ‘Travel Agent Toolkit for Europe’ last month, to help its travel agent partners make the most of the Europe travel boom. Montagnese recommends that agents use the Travel Agent Tool Kit to manoeuvre through ACV’s product and booking systems. The final word? “Air Canada Vacations has the best product we’ve ever had, book with confidence and do not wait for better prices, they will go up!” he says.
