ISRAMWORLD HOSTS ITS FIRST ADVISORY BOARD MEETING
NEW YORK, NY: A. Ady Gelber, ISRAMWORLD’S
President and CEO unveiled a compelling new program at its recent
Advisory Board meeting held at the New York headquarters, to alert
travel agents to the expanding scope of their operations. This ambitious
approach highlights both a series of new initiatives, and a broader
scope for existing programs.
In an important policy statement, Ady Gelber emphasized that the
same level of customer satisfaction associated with ISRAMWORLD's
long standing programs to Israel is guaranteed for all the company’s
international tour packages offered under the banners of their 4
wholly-owned subsidiaries:
* ISRAM WORLD to Israel, Egypt, Greece, Turkey, Jordan, Eastern
& Central Europe, - Russia and Morocco
* ESCAPADE VACATIONS to Spain and Portugal
* LATOUR to all of Central & South America
* ORIENT FLEXI-PAX TOURS to the Orient, China, Indochina, South
Pacific & India
Ady Gelber stressed that their policy of working exclusively through
travel agents is an integral part of his company's business focus.
ISRAMWORLD will continue to encourage travel agents and has initiated
a marketing campaign with ads and a flyer aiming to unite the 4
brands under a single identity while driving home the point that
the company is much more than an Israel specialist.
To ensure that these new initiatives go beyond mere words, the position
of Inside Sales Development was created recently, headed by Ms.
Raffaella De Luca. Ms. De Luca will act as an ombudsman or liaison
between travel agents and their various divisions. She can be reached
on her toll-free direct line: 800 627-0427 or email to rdeluca@isram.com
A new project being introduced in 2007 is the Elite Series product
line for the luxury market . The new brochure will include high-level
internationals programming issued by the four brands, enabling travel
agents to showcase ISRAMWORLD's global luxury products in a single
brochure.
In pursuing the growing popularity of niche marketing, Mr. Gelber
added that one of ISRAMWORLD's traditional strengths, Family Travel
will be expanded across all product lines, extending to such exotic
destinations as the Orient with its cross cultural elements which
are particularly desirable for children and teenagers traveling
with parents and grandparents.
ISRAMWORLD is now open until 8pm EST to better serve travel agents
in the Midwest and on the West Coast.
ISRAMWORLD established in 1967, is celebrating its 40th anniversary
this year The company is a full-fledged member of the USTOA $1 Million
Travelers Assistance Program. For more information, contact ISRAMWORLD.
