The representation side of VDO
We sell for the places we represent.
Venue & Destination Options represents hotels, venues, lodges, a cruise line and an airline sales agency. One team in Cape Town makes them known to buyers, and answers for them.
What representing means.
A property or a travel brand that works with us gets a sales team in the market. This is what that team does.
-
We do the selling
Introductions, site visits for buyers, presentations and follow-up, for the places and journeys we represent.
-
We report back
The properties we represent receive a monthly sales report of who we met, called and mailed.
-
