Island Destinations Establishes
Haiti Fund
Published on:
January 20, 2010
In an effort to help the millions of people
affected by the devastating earthquake in Haiti,
Island Destinations will donate $5 to Doctors
Without Borders for each Caribbean and
Mexican-Caribbean booking, without limit, now
through Feb. 15. In addition, travel agents
booking Caribbean and Mexican-Caribbean
vacations will have the opportunity to donate 1
percent of the total booking (to be taken out of
their commission) to the organization. Island
Destinations will match all agent 1 percent
donations. For example, if an agent typically
receives a 12 percent commission and decides to
donate 1 percent on a $10,000 booking, this
would be a $100 donation, with the agent keeping
$1,100. This would mean a $200 donation -- $100
from the agent and $100 from Island
Destinations. Agents can also ask their
Caribbean-bound clients to add a fixed $100 to
their booking for relief in Haiti. All
contributions are tax deductible, and receipts
for all payments will be available. For
reservations or more information call Island
Destinations at 877-903-2525 or visit
