Dear Dave,

Well, we enjoyed a relaxing Christmas break and a 15 day Panama Canal cruise at the beginning of the year!  It was great to visit 3 new countries, and definitely enjoy some colourful ports!
When out on sales calls, and I casually mention that we just got back from a cruise, and EVERY agent has asked ONE question, and I mean 100% of you.  I'm sure you know what that is, but it is "What ship were you on?"  I laugh at the consistent professional curiosity!  Well, here is the answer:  

Well, don't hate us as in Vancouver as the blossoms are starting to come out a week ago.

I hope the rest of your winter is productive and not too cold or long!

ElCidEl Cid Resorts - Don't forget the Rewards!
I really appreciate the support so many of you have shown for El Cid Resorts' 7 properties on both coasts of Mexico recently! I'm still surprised to hear that some of you aren't taking advantage of the generous El Cid Reward's program though. A few agents have told me that it is one of the more generous hotelier rewards programs in the industry, and El Cid has provided agents this rewards program for the past decade.

For tour operator (Sunwing, WestJet etc.) or direct bookings, you can earn points for online shopping or gift certificates for local stores (The Bay, Banana Republic, etc.) or gift cards (Tim Horton's, local movies, etc.). There are literally hundreds of places and ways you can redeem your points. The points show up in your account after your client's stay.

I certainly hope that you aren't busy to take time to enter your El Cid bookings in the Rewards program! If you are, thank you anyway for your support!

Always remember the El Cid Rewards resources:
1.  REGISTER  your El Cid Resort bookings, for all 7 Resorts, on both coasts of Mexico!  Earn generous points for each booking, that are good for lots of rewards in the catalog (iPads, gift cards, TV`s, etc.)  You can find the full details of the Bonus Points offer HERE.  Just report your bookings at the El Cid Rewards Program

Note that bookings must be made through any Tour Operator such: Sunwing, WestJet, etc. Bookings made it through online companies such: Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com will not be applicable to El Cid Rewards points.
SViet REALISTIC ASIA - Tour descriptions (tariff books)

Many of you have asked for more detailed descriptions of the top tours that Realistic Asia offers. Well I have posted on my website their "tariff book" with full descriptions of their top 14 tours, including links to the usually acommodations. We have posted both the Standard and Luxury versions of them. You can find both of them HERE.

In addition, I have posted a reference guide, by Realistic Asia, for how to get visitors visas for the 5 countries they visit. You can also find a larger copy HERE.

Remember that Realistic Asia has about 40 standard tours that you can find HERE.   You can also easily request NET pricing IN CAD (with or without the flights to Asia) on a CUSTOMIZED tour for your clients HERE
