Busy?

(DETM December 2023 Newsletter)

Greetings!

Almost every agent I speak with says that they are very busy these days. I love hearing that and seeing that reflected in the bookings reported to our agent incentive programs. 

 

Just remember where we were 3 or even 2 years ago. I hope you can appreciate having to work 10- or 12-hour days now with clients able to travel again.

Even if you are crazy busy swamped, make sure to take time to do some of the things you enjoy.

 

I had a chance to get away to Palm Springs for a little R&R. One of my favourite hikes is Murray Canyon, only minutes away from downtown Palm Springs.

Thank you for all you do for your clients!



Sincerely,

 

Dave Emery

EL CID RESORTS - Mazatlan FAM (continued)

On our week long El Cid FAM in Mazatlan, it is always our goal that agents come back as experts in Mazatlan as well as El Cid Resorts.

The team at El Cid made sure that agents got to ride in the iconic "pulmonias".

A night out on the town is alway fun.. It was great to share the safe and beautiful night-life in Mazatlan with our agents.

Enjoying the sunsets in Mazatlan is something we all enjoyed.

 

Don't forget about the DOUBLE POINTS promotion the in El Cid Rewards program for bookings at the Hotel Marina El Cid Spa & Beach Resort in the Riviera Maya until 12/20/23!

PRONATOURS - Mazatlan FAM Excursions (continued)

Pronatours is El Cid Resort’s full-service ground tour operator. They provide transfers and a variety of excursions. As I mentioned last month, the agents on our El Cid Mazatlan FAM got to do a different excursion every day.

A trip to Deer Island is a must while in Mazatlan. We start by boarding the catamaran at the El Cid Marina Beach property and taking a tour down the coast, seeing all of Mazatlan from the water. Then we have a fun day on Deer Island, either doing some of the fun activities (kayaking, banana boats, snorkeling) or just relaxing on the beach..

And yes, there is amazing cliff diving in Mazatlan.

In El Quelite, we enjoyed a great lunch and got to explore the beautiful little village to see how the local people live and enjoy their lives.

Find more about PronaTours excursions HERE.  Email reserve@pronatours.com.mx to book excursions or transfers for your clients (for 10-15% commission).
