Creative Leisure and Villas of Distinction are unique in the luxury resort and villa vacation market because of their ability to provide travel agents a tour operator resource to buy “complete customized packages” without having to make multiple phone calls to complete the same booking. Both companies are truly one-stop-shops including resort and villa accommodations, airfare, car rentals, activities, concierge services, and first-class service from tenured reservation specialists.
Consumers traveling with Creative Leisure must buy the Creative Leisure “Cancel for Any Reason/Waiver Program” in order to qualify for the free ticket. Villas of Distinction offers a comprehensive, optional, “worry free” Private Villa Insurance Plan so that a client’s vacation investment is protected in case of a number of incidents including hurricanes.
