Portland, OR – March 15, 2010 – Ya’lla Tours USA is having a record year for booking trips to Egypt with reservations up 20% over 2009 sales. To help travel agents experience why more and more travelers are visiting this ancient and historic land, Ya’lla has created a familiarization trip from August 24 - September 2, 2010 and is $995 per person in a double room. The tour includes:
- Three nights at the Cairo Grand Hyatt
- A three-night Nile cruise on the deluxe Amarco 1
- Two nights at the Cairo Hilton Pyramids
- One night at Isis Island Aswan
“The most successful agents selling Egypt have been to Egypt, that’s why we want to have more agents participate in the Ya’lla Egypt Experience, so they can sell this very emotional adventure directly from their heart,” said Ronen Paldi, president of Ya’lla Tours USA. “Egypt has so much to offer – from the historical, religious, architecture – there is something for everyone.”
Ya’lla’s Egyptian tours have been developed over the course of 16 and-a-half years, and provide fully customized tours for travelers who want to see specific aspects of the country. Ya’lla is committed to the travel agent sales model and require that tour guides direct all future travel needs through the booking travel agent so bookings can lead to repeat and referral business for the agency.
“When I went on my first fam trip with Ya’lla I sat there with my jaw open,” said Mary Marlow, leisure travel consultant with Journeys Peak Travel. “Not long after, I stopped going on any other fam trips from other tour operators. With Ya’lla I actually learn something about the place we are visiting and the full day seminar given by the owner at the end of the trip makes it much more valuable to me and my business. The quality of participants is much higher with Yall’a because the agents are there to learn, and it really makes a difference. I have since been on nearly every fam trip Ya’lla has offered and they are unlike any other familiarization trips I’ve ever been on.”
The tour includes an Egyptian entry visa and inter-Egypt airfare on Egypt Air. Airfare between the United States and Egypt is not included. The trip includes seven days of touring in an air-conditioned bus with a licensed, English-speaking guide. Entrance fees per itinerary are included as well as transfers in Egypt. The tours are for full-time agents only and only one agent per agency is allowed. For all agents, an IATAN card is required.
As a specialized tour operator, quality and care of the traveler and the booking travel agent are the prime concerns for Ya’lla trips.
