Classic Vacations Expands Online Booking Platform for Travel Advisors with New Tools

Classic Vacations Expands Online Booking Platform for Travel Advisors with New Tools

Classic Vacations is expanding its online booking platform for travel advisors to provide more functionality including the integration of the AXUS itinerary tool and the brand-new Classic VIP Connect program.

The platform, which launched recently, already allowed advisors to book a multi-destination, multi-room itinerary, with real-time rates and availability. The updated platform gives advisors access to Classic’s “Preferred” 5-star inventory, some of which is not available online anywhere else. Additionally, advisors now have access to Classic’s specialized packaging service to add experiences, tours, air, rail, ground transportation, and more. 

 “A multi-destination booking platform has been on travel advisors’ wish list for years,” said Melissa Krueger, CEO of Classic Vacations. “Now, with the update to AXUS and the addition of our Classic VIP Connect program, we are offering an extraordinary array of tools, empowering travel advisors to carry out curated bookings with unparalleled efficiency and ease. We are proud to invest in our valued Travel Advisors and are committed to the continuation of enhancing their experience with Classic Vacations.”

AXUS, a third-party itinerary tool, aggregates one itinerary for advisors who are booking different pieces of travel for their clients. AXUS allows advisors to incorporate reservations at hotels, restaurants, excursions, and more into one comprehensive design.

Classic VIP Connect is available to any advisor who books a hotel from Classic’s Preferred collection. Classic will now automatically send a personalized note to the advisor’s hotel partner on their behalf, alerting the hotel about their VIP client’s arrival.
