LeGrow’s Travel Early Bookers get all the perks!

Hundreds of dollars in savings, free LeGrow’s Travel merchandise, price-drop guarantees, future travel credits, reduced deposits, upgrades, and more! Hurry!

“T

his year, the early-booking perks on all-inclusive Caribbean resorts are just awesome,” says Crystal Lee Mercer, LeGrow’s Travel counsellor, Howley Estates, St. John’s. “But sometimes the best perk of all for my clients is knowing they just booked the best vacation possible – the perfect resort in the perfect sunny destination on the date and time that’s perfect for them,” Crystal says. “That’s what you get when you book in the fall.”

The better room categories at the more popular all-inclusive resorts in places like the Dominican Republic,

Mexico, Cuba and Jamaica sell out quickly – especially on popular travel dates. “I’m keeping my eye on Cuba this year. There are some lovely new resorts, but demand is high. I’m letting my clients know they need to act now.

In some cases, the tour operator’s special offers end on September 30.”

And with LeGrow’s own worry-free travel insurance, you can sit back and relax, knowing we have you covered.

What are you waiting for?
