Monster Commission from Lighthouse
Bay Resort in Barbuda

Travel agents can earn up to a $23,000 commission when they book a getaway at Lighthouse Bay Resort in Barbuda with the six-night “Friends and Family Reunion” package. Agents are offered a 20 percent commission on this package (priced at $114,999 for up to 20 people) which translates into significant earnings for booking a group of people on their own private island. Privacy is paramount with only nine suites allowing groups of up to 20 people to virtually “own” a private island for a week with luxurious accommodations, superior service and 17 miles of pristine pink sand beach.

“Our 20 percent commission on this package offers agents a $23,000 payout while providing the ultimate group vacation, offering complete privacy and the ideal setting for the family and friends reunion,” said Terrence Linton, general manager of Lighthouse Bay. “This booking incentive and vacation opportunity is the ideal win-win situation for families and agents.”

The seven-day/six-night “Friends and Family Reunion” package includes the entire island buyout of Lighthouse Bay Resort which features nine suites, all meals and drinks, and use of a private fresh water pool. Each room’s amenities and technology allow guests to feel “plugged in” despite their remote location with flat screen satellite televisions, iPod alarm clock CD players, personal laptops and iPads for guests’ use while on property, and Wi-Fi Internet connection.  For added convenience, guests can make unlimited international telephone calls at no additional cost and complimentary laundry service is available for all guests.

Other highlights of this package include the following for all members of the group (except where noted): Day charter complete with lunch, snorkel and sail gear, one hour of horseback riding, group cooking class with Chef Lennox, beach BBQ and bonfire, and personal photographer and commemorative album with photos.

The “Friends and Family Reunion” package is available Nov. 1 – Dec. 17, 2011 with all-inclusive package rates starting at $114,999 for up to 20 people. Transfers to the resort can be arranged for an additional cost to the package.
