Caribbean WBM

Caribbean Weekly Business Meeting
March 16, 2016


*      PUNTA CANA – NICKELODEON  NO ETA A THIS TIME..  HOTEL HAS SENT US MULTIPLE TEMPLATES WITH RATES – MARIA is trying to get clarification on which is the most up to date
AND/OR trying to get copy of HOTEL CONTRACT.  Hotel is “supposedly” opening May 1st. However:
Olympus is here from the DR – advised Maria that the hotel is nowhere near complete and not sure what they will be inspecting when they go down next month

*      BARCELO BAVARO PALACE – Jackie got response from her contact who said they will not be offering us complimentary airport shuttle as our net rates – marked up is lower than hotel website.

*      CARIBBEAN 2017 ROLLOVERS -  Christina advised that the list of hotels with rollovers is on the intranet.  She will advise us where on the intranet it is. 
There are issues with some of the suppliers, i.e.  Riu, Barcelo etc.     EBB rates were loaded however there was a release schedule that was added to the products.  Should we get any
Requests go to Maria/Christina/Jackie/Robin/Mario before doing a one off code   they may be able to amend the release schedule on a case by case basis.
Moving forward when they get the 2016/2017 contracts in house  whatever contracts provide rollovers for 2018 travel will be loaded at the same time as the original contract.

*      RIU PALACE ARUBA – per Maria’s previous emails is completely open.  They were only provided 3 bookings where the agents were requesting commission protection.. 2 LTs & 1 GW.
Riu will be providing a press release hopefully today if not by weeks end – with FAQ’s from all of their selling partners regarding customer service issues.
