BookVIP.com began life in early 2008 as the collective brainchild of four veterans with sales & business experience in the Mexican travel sector.

Andy Small, Marco Torres, Waylon White and James Colligan, the original leadership team, sought to transform the vacation dynamics for consumers seeking affordable luxury getaways, and top 5-star resorts craving a reliable pipeline of qualified prospects and customers.

The Beginning

Capitalizing on the economic meltdown and industry disarray, they architected new online channels between customers and resorts, particularly in Mexico and North America.

Within the first two years of operation, the team had scaled operations from their apartment living rooms (and 6 home-based sales reps) to a massive online marketing and call center apparatus, orchestrating 90% of all mini-vacations in Mexico and North America.

By 2011, Top Mexican resorts such as Villa del Palmar and Krystal offered BookVIP exclusive partnerships to generate qualified leads through massive promotional discounts, up to 70%. In 2013, The Mexican Tourism Board glowingly endorsed the leadership team: “[BookVIP.com] has been an integral part of the success of many resorts throughout Mexico helping plan vacations for tens of thousands of guests. It has found ways to make vacations a ffordable for many families around the world. “ BookVIP.COM was awarded similar partnerships with luxury resorts in North America, including Westgate, which allowed the leadership team to scale operations further and generate over $100 million in sales by 2014.
