 Island Destinations Unveils Dubai & Maldives Program

Published on: June 20, 2007   

Island Destinations introduced an 11-day Dubai and the Maldives itinerary. Identifying a trend in high-end experiences, Island Destinations added Dubai, one of the fastest-growing destinations in the world, and the Maldives, the extraordinary retreat in the Indian Ocean, to its Travelers Collection 2007. The trip is offered year round starting at $10,500 for summer travel, priced per couple double occupancy (land only), including suites and beach villas, private transfers via Cadillac Escalade, sea plane and yacht, some meals and all tax and service charges.

The Dubai portion of the trip includes private Cadillac Escalade transfer from Dubai International Airport; two nights in a duplex deluxe suite at the Burj Al Arab; Cadillac Escalade transfer to Jumeirah Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa, a unique hotel built like a traditional Arabian fort with sand dunes providing the dramatic backdrop; two nights in a deluxe balcony room overlooking the Arabian Desert; and dinner at Al Hadheerah, the region's first authentic open-air Arabic desert restaurant, featuring entertainment by belly dancers, henna painters and live music. The Maldives portion of the trip includes Cadillac Escalade transfer to Dubai International Airport for flight to Malé International Airport; 30-minute sea plane ride to the Kanuhura Hotel for a "sleep under the stars" experience on a private island hideaway; three-night beach villa accommodations at the Kanuhura; private launch transfer to Reethi Rah, a new all-villa resort; three nights in an over-water villa; and private yacht transfer to Malé International Airport to begin the journey home. 

Emirates Airlines offers two daily flights (day and evening) from John F. Kennedy International Airport to Dubai International Airport and regular flights between Dubai and Malé International Airport in the Maldives. Island Destinations can arrange air in any class of service from additional gateways across the U.S. 

Now through Dec. 15, Island Destinations is giving agents increased commission on all new bookings for travel through this date. Upon request, agents will earn 16 percent on Tahiti, 15 percent on Hawaii, and an additional 1 percent commission on all other destinations. Island Destinations recently announced a new Referral Rewards Program, offering $100 cash bonuses. Any new agent booking for the first time will receive $100 cash as a thank you for choosing to book with Island Destinations. As an added perk, the referring agent who made the introduction to Island Destinations will receive a $100 bonus as well. The limited time offer, valid now through Aug. 31 has no restrictions on the amount of rewards an existing Island Destinations agent can redeem; more referrals equal more cash.
