Fall Colours

(DETM October 2023 Newsletter)

Greetings!

Although I love pumpkin spice and hot apple cider, I’m not a big fan of Fall. Maybe it is a carry-over from being a kid, when summer was sadly over and it was back to school… In spite of the fact that I loved school.

Now I just try to appreciate the beauty of each season. I appreciate getting up each day and doing the things I love. 

Capturing a few photos of the beautiful Fall colours is a bonus!

Sincerely,
Dave Emery

EL CID RESORTS - Elite & Platinum

One of the most frequent questions I get from agents is: Should we sell our clients the upgrade to Elite (Mazatlan) or Platinum (Riviera Maya) all-inclusive plans?

 

My answer short is always Yes. Of course all clients have budgets to work within, but as long as you present the adventages of the upsell programs, you have done your job..

There are many advantages of the Elite (Mazatlan) and Platinum (Riviera Maya) options, but here are a few of my favourites.

 

With the Elite plan at the El Cid Resorts in Mazatlan, guests get to check in at the Elite lounges, have access to the adults-only pool (El Moro), have a guaranteed OV, and have full access to all 4 resorts. They also have no surcharges on some of the higher end menu items.

With the Platinum plan at the El Cid Resorts in the Riviera Maya (Puerto Morales), guests get to check in at the Platinum lounges, have a guaranteed OV (or sunset view – Ventus Ha’) room, the best amenities, daily room aroma therapy and great butler service.

OCTOBER SHOWS

Well, October seems to be tradeshow season, especially in western Canada. Over the next few weeks, you will see Sonia or me at the following shows:



10/3 Cabo, Vancouver

10/4 Cabo, Calgary

10/10 Puerto Vallarta, Burnaby

10/11 Puerto Vallarta, Edmonton

10/12 Puerto Vallarta, Calgary

10/13 Mazatlan, Abbotsford

10/16 Mazatlan, Edmonton

10/17 Mazatlan, Calgary

I believe most of these shows are sold out and not accepting additional agent registrations. I hope you signed up and I’m looking forward to seeing many of you soon!
