Luxury Resort Launches Half Moon Select Programme
Rose Hall (October 31, 2009) – With 400 acres, ten room categories including private villas, a variety of activities such as championship golf, dolphin encounters and horseback riding, extensive meeting and function facilities and a host of other amenities, Myrtle Dwyer, director of sales and marketing of
Half Moon wants travel professionals to be experts in selling the 55-year-old resort and introduced the Half Moon Select online training programme.
The Half Moon Select programme is divided into two sections; the first takes agents through property knowledge and provides information on resort and destination culture. The second phase allows agents to specialize more specially in groups/events and romance segments. After each section, agents sit an online test which is submitted to the resort on completion. Those scoring at least 95 per cent in each section will receive certification for the specific section. Agents are able to receive certification in all sections and specializations.
In addition to increased knowledge on one of Jamaica’s premier luxury resorts, travel professionals who successfully complete the programme will gain benefits such as priority notice for specials and promotions, participation in familiarization trips, automatic registration in the Full Moon Rewards programme, access to the Half Moon reservation concierge as well as special welcome amenity for their clients booked at Half Moon.
“Spread out over 400-acres with an enlightening 55-year history, Half Moon is an unquestionably unique resort and we have to ensure that our partners are fully educated and knowledgeable about all that we have to offer,” Ms. Dwyer said.
Agents can also access the agent-exclusive portal www.halfmoon.com/agents for updates on new services, upgrades, products and features at the Jamaican resort. The site will also include current information on Jamaica, making it a one-stop resource for agents when booking a client’s trip.
In order to maintain Half Moon Select status agents are required to participate in at least one online training seminar conducted by the resort per year and are required to make a minimum of one three-night booking per year. Additionally, Half Moon Select agents will be upgraded to Half Moon Premier Select once they book a minimum of 40 room nights within a year.
