Creative Hols drops its deposit fees

Creative Holidays has dropped its deposit fees to make it easier for agents to secure and convert bookings.

The fees have been reduced to $100 per booking, down from $165 per person, which for example, reduces what would have been a booking fee of $660  for a family of four, to $100.

“In line with our commitment to the industry to make booking travel simple, Creative Holidays has undergone a complete review of both functionality and processes to help agents secure and convert as many bookings as possible,” md James Gaskell said.

“Our research uncovered that one of the barriers to clients booking is the up-front costs and the fear of losing money if their plans change. As such, we have significantly reduced our deposit and cancellation fees.

“With these reduced fees agents will now be able to offer reduced risk, at a low cost to the client, helping agents secure more bookings and become even more competitive in the marketplace, particularly against online agencies.”

Giving travellers even greater reason to book immediately, final payment is not required until 14 days prior to travel (depending on supplier terms and conditions).

If a booking is cancelled, the $100 deposit can be applied to other travel products for up to 90 days after the cancellation date. If not used within the three month period, the deposit will be forfeited to Creative Holidays.
