TIPTO – the tour operator support group active across the UK and Ireland – has announced SPL Villas will join its supplier member line up.
Joining from September 1, SPL Villas, an ATOL-protected villa specialist offering four- and five-star holidays across parts of the Mediterranean and Florida, will have access to TIPTO’s varied training opportunities with a focus on reinforcing its commitment to the UK and Irish travel trade.
Participating in TIPTO’s effective face2face event formats, the SPL Villas team will showcase its full product offering to agents, educating them on the ease of combining its villas, flights, car hire and attraction ticket options to offer their clients a truly tailored villa holiday.
This partnership will also allow SPL Villas to bolster its presence across the UK and Ireland, solidifying its current relationships with travel agents, as well as building brand new connections within the agent community.
SPL Villas offers travel agents attractive commission and complete price parity on its four- and five-star ATOL-protected holidays. With handpicked villa options spanning Croatia, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Florida, agents can create the perfect holiday for clients, including easily combinable villas, flights, car hire and attraction tickets, with help from the experienced SPL Villas sales team.
Accessible online via www.splvillas.com, agents can enhance their booking with the SPL Villas’ concierge service, which offers added extras such as personal chef services, boat hire, wine tasting activities and more. The website is fully bookable for agents and is easy to use.
Anne Clays, Trade & Business Partnerships Manager, SPL Villas, said: “We’re super excited to be joining TIPTO in its 27th year! As a small team on the road, this is a fantastic opportunity for us to connect with loyal agents across the UK and build strong relationships during the events. It also gives us the chance to educate agents on the specialist services we offer and how we can support them.”
“TIPTO is well known in the travel industry for its outstanding reputation and commitment to high-quality agent training, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it, and share our passion for villa holidays. Sarah Gill and I are very much ready to hit the ground running and look forward to meeting lots of new agents very soon.”
TIPTO Chairman, Vishal Patel, added: “We are delighted to welcome SPL Villas into the TIPTO portfolio for our 27th year. As a new supplier member, SPL Villas and its team bring a new specialist sector to our strong supplier line up, and this can only ever be beneficial to our agent community.
“I have no doubt that TIPTO’s popular face2face event set up and proven track record will aid SPL Villas in its quest to build meaningful and lasting agent relationships via educational opportunities.”
