Inghams has brought out a digital interactive brochure with new hotels for winter 2020-2021.
The operator is also launching extra tools to help travel agents make bookings, including a standalone ‘resort finder’ which will include an information sheet on each resort and allow agents to email selective information to clients rather than the whole brochure.
Trade webinars on how to sell ski holidays are also planned.
Julie Franklin, Inghams’ head of agency sales, said: “Trade continues to be an important part of our distribution, and therefore we will also be launching a series of additional tools to help our partners sell the right holiday to the right level of skier.
“We will produce a standalone Resort Finder; each resort will have its own information sheet enabling them to email selective information rather than the whole brochure, and we’ll be hosting some webinars on how to sell ski holidays. All these elements will be available through the Toolkit in the Agent Website hub.”
A range of new properties have been added in Italy including Hotel Parc Victoria in Cortina D-Ampezzo; Pension Angelo in Corvara; Hotel Mareo in Plan de Corones; and Hotel Hermitage in Suze d’Oulx.
New hotels in Austria include Hotel Alpine Palace and Hotel Gollinger in Hinterglemm; Hotel Bauer and Hotel Kendler in Saalbach; Hotel Lebzelter in Zell am See; Hotel Martinshof in Obergurgl; Hotel Tirol Lodge in Ellmau; and Hotel Kitzhof in Kitzbuhel.
The new 2020-2021 winter collection includes incentives such as 50% off equipment hire or carriage when customers pre-book their lift pass with Inghams and low booking deposits of £150 when booked before the end of September.
Inghams’ ongoing partnership with food and drink delivery service Huski allows holidaymakers in self-catering apartments to order oven-ready meals.
