ESTABLISHED Turkish tour operator Fez Travel is set to make deeper inroads into South-east Asia through its newly appointed Kuala Lumpur-based GSA, Corporate Information Travel (CIT), which has been tasked to grow business in Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore and the Philippines.
With this appointment, Ekrem Usta, managing director of Fez Travel, hopes to see a double or threefold growth in numbers from South-east Asia next year.
Thaddeus Foo, managing director at CIT, revealed that appointing preferred sales agents will underpin his strategy for developing sales in these overseas markets.
Fez Travel yesterday unveiled to Malaysian outbound agents its 2016/2017 brochure of escorted group tours, which includes packages in Turkey as well as multi-destination tours to Turkey and Greece. All escorted group tours have fixed guaranteed departures and a maximum group size of 20 people.
Foo revealed that CIT’s ongoing promotion with Visa for Fez Travel itineraries for 2016 and 2017 allows agents to earn an additional two per cent commission from CIT on purchases made with Visa, on top of their 15 per cent commission on sales. Consumers also benefit from a 10 per cent discount off the total tour price when bookings are made through Visa.
