So I want to know what made this property such a great host for our President's Club.
1:43
Yeah.
1:43
Well, first let me just share, the President's Club is a celebration, annual celebration of our top producing reservations agents who work so closely with our travel advisor community.
1:53
So it's a big one and it's an important one.
1:55
They get to bring their plus ones and they get to be on vacation for decades.
2:00
you know, three, four days, obviously having their plus one zero, it's so nice to have, you know, who's ever really supporting them at home, whether that's family or a friend with them and gives us a chance to get to know our team a little bit more personally.
2:11
So we have such a close partnership with the Bayless team and we run so many of our own groups through this property.
3:36
And for advisors and listeners who haven't had the chance to visit yet, what was your first impression of the Grand Velas Riviera Nayarit?
1:05
What's the significance of this expanded portfolio?
1:10
Yeah, I mean, you're right on the money, James.
1:12
We now offer 2,600 luxury properties worldwide, all at full commission for advisors.
1:18
So I think previously we had, you know, give or take about 1,400 preferred hotels.
1:23
And then of course we had our affiliate hotels, which has always been a nice way for our travel advisor partners to round out the package, right? One of the things I had shared with you previously is that via the acquisition, our foundation, the operating foundation of what it takes to make a tour operator the enablement of the loading, for lack of going too deeply into it, was always a little bit of a limitation.
1:53
And now we don't have that limitation.
1:55
So the expansion is really in direct response to advisor feedback.
