A group of travel agents flew out to Spain on Thursday morning (May 11) for a one-day VIP fam trip hosted by Ikos Resorts and Classic Collection.
The ‘Taste of Ikos’ VIP visit to Ikos Andalusia on Spain’s Costa del Sol aims to give agent partners first-hand experience of the luxury and service provided by Ikos Resorts.
The property has a new Deluxe Collection pool, an expanded kids club, and two new restaurants: Seasons and Chiringuito.
Following a champagne reception, the agents will have an update on Ikos Resorts and Classic Collection, followed by lunch at Seasons and a site inspection.
Lee Barker, Sani/Ikos Group regional sales and marketing director, said: “A Taste of Ikos is a fantastic way for agents who are limited on time to experience our unique concept and gain a greater understanding of our brand.
“We are delighted to be working with Classic Collection on this to further cement our close relationship with them and to support our travel agent partners.”
Si Morris-Green, Classic Collection agency sales and marketing director, added: “We enjoy a very rewarding partnership with Ikos Resorts and this VIP trip is just one of a series of collaborations which we have planned for this summer.
“Ikos has been redefining and finessing the concept of luxury all-inclusive holidays since its inception in 2015, and we’re looking forward to showcasing Ikos Andalusia to some of our best-selling trade partners.
“For our agents, it’s minimal disruption to be able to experience the Ikos Resorts – important at a time when every booking counts.
“The trip also reflects how flexible holidays with Classic Collection can be. We work with any airline from any airport for any duration, so customers can travel for as little or as long as they want.
“Trade engagement is at the heart of our business, so it’s great to be able to touch base with our agent partners in a sunny, beach environment which highlights the luxury holiday product that we sell.”
Set among 21 acres of landscaped gardens, five-star Ikos Andalusia opened in 2021, marking Ikos Resorts’ introduction to Spain.
It will be followed by the brand’s second resort in Spain, Ikos Porto Petro, which will open in Majorca this summer.
Further Ikos openings are planned in the coming years in the Algarve and Crete.
Any bookings made through Classic Collection to an Ikos property from May 11-31 will be automatically entered into a prize draw for a case of Taittinger champagne.
