Karisma forms “Compass Committee” travel agent advisory board

Karisma Hotels & Resorts has launched a travel agent advisory board to coincide with Travel Agent Appreciation Month.

Developed to elevate the voices of the agent community, the new board, known as the “Compass Committee,” will provide valuable insight on key initiatives to help shape business decisions, the company said Wednesday (May 3).

This hand-selected committee, composed of agents, agency owners, and key executives, will receive first-hand looks at new product development and innovation across the portfolio and participate in quarterly online meetings and annual on-site events.

"At Karisma Hotels & Resorts, we have an agent-first commitment," said Marilyn Cairo, vice president of global sales at Premier Worldwide Marketing. “We pride ourselves on collaboration and building a community where everyone is empowered to succeed. We always want to be better partners, and this board will help ensure that. It's one of the many ways we plan to give back this month and beyond."

Applications opened on May 3, and a maximum of 15 people will be selected to serve on this year's board.

Full-time accredited Gourmet Inclusive Vacation Consultants (GIVC) and Gourmet Inclusive (GI) Rewards agents and agency owners are invited to apply here. 

To be considered, agents must be enrolled and active in Karisma’s Gourmet Inclusive travel agent programs - GIVC or GI Rewards. Entries will close on May 30, 2023, and the committee selections will be announced on June 15, 2023.

The update adds to several other activations Karisma has launched to celebrate travel advisors.
