Welcome to the Columbus Travel Groups + Incentives test web page. We have three different templates to choose from: Scrolling, Top Image and Side Bar. Please browse through the site to see the look and feel of this template. 

Each template is customizable. We can choose colors, fonts and images that represent your company and the trip you are taking. The design interface makes it easy for our agents to quickly make changes and corrections as needed to your site.

On the registration page you can click on the register link to do a test registration. The registration site is customizable with a top image that represents your company and the trip you are taking and a background color or image.

The third feature of our system is a customizable app for your trip. In the app your guests will have access their complete itinerary, flight information and tips and news related to your trip. The app also gives guests the ability to message and share images with each other. It also gives the trip administrator capability to message the whole group, people only doing one activity or an individual trip participant.

Thank you,

SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

As any Conquistador could have told you centuries ago, San Juan’s harbor is the most secure in the Caribbean and because of that, it became one of the principal ports in the Caribbean. The cannons of El Morrow Fortress still overlook the harbor but today its harbor is used for cruise ships and is the second largest cruise port in the Caribbean. San Juan has maintained its historical flavor. Just a short walk from the pier is Old San Juan. A tall, thick wall initially built to protect against pirate invasions surrounds this seven-square-block area of pastel-colored colonial buildings. El Morro Fortress offers a fascinating look into the past. It was built in the 1500's and has been preserved by the U.S. Forrest Service and is San Juan’s most photographed site.

 

ST. THOMAS

It's the beautiful, calm turquoise waters of the Caribbean that demand attention in St. Thomas, and there's no shortage of ways to explore the sea. These warm waters are home to legendary pirate stories and schools of tropical fish. Charlotte Amalie offers excellent duty-free markets and is one of the best places in the Caribbean to shop for local handicrafts and goods from around the world, such as watches, woolens, cameras, jewelry, liquor and leather goods. St. John is a lush tropical island just off St.Thomas and is uniquely unspoiled, with three quarters designated as a National Park.

 

TORTOLA

Just a 30 minute ferry ride from St. Thomas in the U.S.V.I., or a 30 minute plane ride from San Juan, the stunning 50-plus islands and cays that comprise the British Virgin Islands have two great assets - accessibility and virgin beauty. Known for years as a "sailor's paradise," yacht cruisers were among the first to realize this was indeed one of "Nature's Little Secrets", which is the territory's official slogan. The B.V.I., a British territory, is blessed by year-round tradewinds and temperate weather that averages 81 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta

The Hyatt Ziva Puerto Vallarta lies on a secluded cove ringed with jungle cliffs and a terrific beach. This resort enjoys a beautiful semiprivate beach with clear ocean waters.

It is a self-contained resort made up of an 11-story white arc. It is functional and superbly situated for maximum ocean views. The professional reception staff welcomes guests in an open-air lobby with champagne and chilled towels. The meandering common areas open to blue-water views filtered through a sea of palms.

Its all inclusive features include six restaurants offering not only variety, but beautifully prepared and served Mexican, Italian, international and seafood specialties. The dinner-only options are surprisingly small and inviting, especially the cliff-hugging Seaside restaurant, which offers dramatic views and cocktails to go with the fresh seafood. El Patio serves up Mexican food off the menu, and has three areas themed to Oaxaca (the outdoor terrace), Michoacan (the indoor room) and Jalisco (the tequila bar). A mariachi band often serenades diners feasting on the Mexican Pacific cuisine. The Portofino Italian restaurant maintains decorum through its adults-only policy. The World Cafe buffet room is international in offering, while the Barefoot Grill is a hamburger and hot dog outlet appealing to kids. A poolside bar pours sodas and libations until the evening, when entertainment, theme nights and local cultural events are staged.

Key-cards open heavy carved wooden doors, revealing rooms with a distinctly latin flavor with tiled floors, aquarium colors and swagged fabric crowning the king or paired double beds. The bright white walls with periwinkle blue accents backdrop the plain white wooden furniture, louvered white closets, natural wood armoires containing flat-screen TVs and sofa beds.

Rooms amenities include electronic safes, coffeemakers, minibars stocked with beer and soda (included as part of the all inclusive plan) irons and ironing boards, and roomy combination baths with scales, robes and slippers. Desks provide a nice spot for penning postcards. In most rooms, sliding-glass doors open to ocean-view railings.

Puerto Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta was selected by CONDE NAST TRAVELER readers as the eighth best destination in the world in their annual Reader's Choice Awards, as well as the number one international destination because of the "remarkable amiability of the local folk."

Puerto Vallarta is a vacationer's paradise that has maintained its unique Old Mexico charm despite its popularity as a vacation destination. It offers cobblestone streets, stunning beaches, plentiful marine life, lush Sierra Madre Mountains, exceptional restaurants, golf courses and vibrant culture.

The adventurous can hike or mountain bike in the hills, explore the jungle and hidden trails on horseback, take a jeep safari, soar above it all in a multicolored hot air balloon, take an exciting zipline canopy adventure through its lush jungle, snorkel, scuba dive, charter a yacht or sailboat, or take a cruise on a party boat.

Puerto Vallarta is built around beautiful Banderas Bay, one of the largest and deepest in the world and home to a wide variety of aquatic life. Humpback whales come here to mate every year from December to March and sea turtles nest on the beaches from May to October. Schools of dolphins and giant manta rays inhabit these waters year round. The Bay and the Marietas Islands located in the middle of the bay offer an amazing kaleidoscope of tropical fish, attracting snorkelers, scuba divers and sport fishermen alike.

For those who just want to relax, Puerto Vallarta's many golden sand beaches offer one of the best ways to experience the beauty and magic of the Bay of Banderas. Here you will find mile long stretches of golden sand beaches. Not far away are rich plantations of papaya and mango and tucked back along tumbling rivers and streams are small villages where life seems to move at a different pace.

Puerto Vallarta offers a rich culinary cuisine from the most casual taco stands to tropical beachfront palapas to upscale rooftop restaurants with panoramic views. There are literally hundreds of restaurants serving exactly what you are hungry for.

Whether you prefer fashionable luxury, strenuous adventure, time to decompress and just relax or something in between, Puerto Vallarta is a sun-blessed paradise that offers all of this and more!
