Sales Approach: I have focused on Tahiti for 13 years. My approach to selling Tahiti/French Polynesia and Paul Gauguin Cruises is to initially target the conversation as a bit of a geography lesson. Once people realize how close French Polynesia is and how seamless it can be to travel there, it tends to open doors. I emphasize that it is currently THE BEST time to travel to French Polynesia! With many new airlines flying to French Polynesia, availability is high, and costs are more competitive. Paul Gauguin Cruises visits three of Polynesia’s five island groups, so you can truly enjoy many destinations in one. Plus, The Gauguin offers cultural immersion along with beautiful beaches and some of the nicest people you will come across. It's a winning combination!
