Discovering Luxēvo

By: Cyndi Hansen, National Training Director

uxēvo™ members are going to love the ability to book into LuxScapes. What is a LuxScape? LuxScapes are an escape into luxury-feeling travel where your client will experience more options, an assortment of destinations, more space, privacy, and a value like no other. Let me help you “Luxperience™” what a LuxScape is all about. With a LuxScape, you are able to offer low-cost vacation rentals, making a week-long getaway affordable to almost anyone. You will have your choice of resorts, villas, homes, condos, or cottages to offer your clients. Whether they like a cozy, single bedroom suite or a large multi-bedroom property, there’s a perfect LuxScape waiting for them. And the options for destinations are almost unlimited. You will have access to over 200,000 properties in the United States, Mexico, the Caribbean, Australia, Italy, Greece, England…and the list goes on and on. Many of these properties have spaces that include a kitchen, dining room, patios, and living room. If you can offer this extra space to your client for the same price or even less than a hotel room, you have just increased your value as a travel agent.

This brings us to another perk of LuxScapes…their value. Renting a villa or home can be extremely cost effective for your clients, especially if they are traveling with extended family or a small group because in most cases you do not get charged for the extra guests. Not only will your clients save big on the price of their LuxScape, they will also be able to earn LuxPoints™ that can be redeemed for dollars off their next LuxCursion or LuxScape.

Grand Beach Resort Orlando

So now that we have explained a LuxScape, what type of client would enjoy a LuxScape? Since I have stayed and toured villas recently, I can really relate to the attraction of this type of vacation. Not everyone wants a busy resort or crowded cruise ship. Some want space, quietness and privacy. Isn’t that why most people take a vacation – to get away and relax? With so many choices and destination options, you can offer your client choices that give them freedom, privacy and tons of space.
