MARKET REPRESENTATIVE-EUROPE by ASIAN-LUXURY-TRAVELS (A-L-T)
In 2019, Eduard Hoogeweegen and his wife Arvine, together with Tom Jansen Bramevaer founded:
Asian-Luxury-Travels
A-L-T is a company representing Luxury Asian Resorts, Restaurants, Spas, Tourist Attractions and Asian Destinations as their MARKET REPRESENTATIVE in the Netherlands and Europe. The Company is based on the common knowledge that a great deal of the business generated for the above-mentioned facilities comes from Europe and that recruiting and maintaining contacts with European travelers is far more efficient, productive, and affordably done from Europe than from Asia. Both Hoogeweegen and Jansen Bramevaer have extensive experience of both the European (selling) market as well as the Asian (buying) market.
A-L-T is not a Travel Agent, but an intermediary between Luxury Asian facilities and mainly European Wholesale Travel Organizations and operates according to a special principle of satisfying the personal wishes of the traveler.
Based on this principle, A-L-T will select several Asian attractions and include them into a Membership’s Club.
A-L-T will represent both
Asian luxury facilities (boutique resorts, hotels and other luxury travel facilities)
as well as
European Travel Wholesale experts
congregated in an ELITE group,
the A-L-T Member’s Club, A-M-C with the ultimate goal of providing the traveler with a luxurious and unique travel experience. Not necessarily the cheapest trip, but surely a bucket list trip
Instead of hiring a Sales Manager at location who must travel frequently to expensive Trade Shows in Europe to get their business, A-L-T will visit these Wholesalers at their offices in Europe.
It is the objective of A-L-T to act as a Market Representative for luxury Hotels and Resorts in Asia and to build a bridge between them and the Dutch and European Wholesale travel experts. We are specialized in the luxury market segment.
A-L-T aims to make travel more personal, taking true hospitality to the max, where travelers are received and met personally and can integrate more into the culture of the destination they are traveling to.
A-L-T will select luxury Resorts, Hotels, limousine services, restaurants, spa facilities, and luxury tourist attractions, like local dance lessons, local cooking classes, etc. (some of them never even mentioned in any tourist organization). The selected luxury Resorts and Hotels will become members and will be represented to the Dutch and European market by Wholesale Travel experts, with the ultimate objective of maximizing revenues and brand awareness for their members.
A-L-T specializes in getting Hotels and Resorts to work with us and offer personalized VIP hospitality to the max
A-L-T will act as a Market Representative for Asian luxury Resorts, Hotels and other luxury tourist facilities, all of them obliged to use the the A-L-T philosophy, BUT also at the same time, A-L-T will negotiate on behalf of the Dutch and European Wholesale Travel experts special contracted rates at these Resorts, Hotels and other A-M-C member establishments with the objective to maximize potential sales for both parties and best services to benefit both parties in the end.
Asian-Luxury-Travels (A-L-T) is a Dutch company established in 2019 in The Netherlands. The Dutch Founder and his partners have extensive experience in tourism and Asian hotel management and hotel marketing.
A-L-T’s mission
A-L-T’s mission is to represent Asian Tourist Destinations (Resorts, Hotels, Spas, etc.) in Europe and to save them marketing costs. Instead of hiring an extra local Sales Manager to cover the Travel Market in a critical destination area like Europe, Asian-Luxury-Travels (A-L-T) can do the job for you in a cost effective and a more productive way. Cost effective, as we base our retainer fees on the salary scale of a local Sales Manager. More productive, as we use our extensive know-how of both Asian- as European market as an added bonus.
A-L-T’s activities
A-L-T-activities include not just visits but also advice and support in the preparation of the members’ marketing plans and subsequent advertising material, directed to Europe.
A-L-T’s fees
Activities cost money. No-one can live or produce without it. But we like to keep it as affordable as possible. Hence, we base our retainer fees on the salaries of a local Sales Manager. Plus, we charge a small percentage on realized business and, a DSA (daily subsistence allowance) according to international standards (See World Bank info), during special assignments, required by client.
