Yankee Leisure Group (YLG), the largest independent rail vacation operator worldwide, has announced the launch of Amtrak Vacations and Railbookers in Canada, a move that expands each brand’s global reach to better serve the local travel trade community.
Agents have the ability to book rail up to 24 months in advance, and are offered excellent commission and instant quotes, and assistance with advising the best train routes based on a customer’s needs, interests, and budget.
In addition to offering more than 3,000 unique products in 51 countries and 690 cities, the companies' Rail Experts can assist agents to build FIT rail vacations, such as pre- or post-river cruise train journeys, multi-country trips, long distance overnight adventures, and exciting getaways.
YLG has appointed Cris David as Vice President of Sales to oversee the introduction of Amtrak Vacations and Railbookers in the Canadian market.
David is a well-known travel executive and sales leader who has served as President of the guided vacation brands Contiki Holidays Canada and Insight Vacations Canada. He has worked closely with agents across the country and is vastly familiar with the industry’s opportunities and challenges as it relates to the travel retail market.
“I am really excited to be joining the dynamic team at Yankee Leisure Group,” said David. “The company’s meteoric growth over the last few years demonstrates the incredible value that YLG’s offering represents for consumers and travel agents alike. There’s really no competition. Nobody else in the industry is doing the same thing.”
Both brands are a one-stop shop for rail, accommodations, activities, transfers, ferries, and inner-city transportation for worldwide rail vacations.
On December 10th, both brands will host a live webinar at 7am, 11am, and 2pm EST to announce their launch into the market. Register here.
