New York City, New York, February 3, 2005 - As a token of appreciation to the travel agent community, Palace Resorts is pleased to announce the extension of its Travel Agent Commission Program, valid now through 2005.

This program encourages travel agents to book as many reservations as possible at any of the Palace Resort hotels in Cancun and the Riviera Maya between now and December 31 st in exchange for generous bonus commissions. For each stay of three nights or longer, travel agents receive a $50 bonus commission per room and for every tenth room reserved , travel agents receive an additional $250 bonus commission.

"We are pleased to renew this exciting bonus program," said Maira Briceno, Director of Marketing for Palace Resorts. "This is our way of saying thank you to the travel agent community for all of their help in making Palace Resorts such a success through the years."

Travel agents interested in taking advantage of the Commission Program can make reservations through a wholesaler, GDS (use VE code) or by calling Palace Resorts at 1-800-635-1836. This program is restricted to groups of up to 25 rooms. Any additional rooms within the same group booking cannot be claimed. Travel agent, FAM rates, Interline, or discounted rates do not qualify. Other restrictions apply.

Once the reservations have been made, qualified travel agents can claim their bonus commission by requesting a claim form from Palace Resorts, via the 800-number, ext. 6060. Agents can also download the form from the company's website at www.palaceresorts.com . Upon completion of the form, the agent can fax it back to (305) 416-6576 and a representative from Palace Resorts will be in touch.

Palace Resorts , the company that set the standard in five-star all-inclusive resort accommodations, offers six all-inclusive properties in Cancun and the Riviera Maya. Four new Palace resorts will open later this year including Cozumel Palace, Vallarta Palace, Playacar Palace and Le Blanc Spa Resort, a new luxury brand for Palace Resorts.
