Destination clubs are continuing to add travel partnerships and perks for members. This week Ultimate Escapes formally announced its partnership to with To Escape To, an U.K.-based luxury excursion travel service, and detailed a suite of private tours.

The club already allows members the option of exchanging plan nights for stays at a collection of some 130 hotels. This partnership gives members the option to book tours in 13 countries throughout Africa and the Indian Ocean.

This program is supplemental so members do not utilize their nights, unlike Exclusive Resorts’ Once in a Lifetime program. Ultimate Escapes essentially acts as a liaison between members and To Escape To. Members contact their member service representative at Ultimate Escapes (just as they would to book a trip at one of the club’s destinations) who then books the desired tour program and arranges all flights.

Options range from stays in private five-star villas in the Seychelles to trips to game reserves in South Africa, Zambia and Kenya, complete with private drivers and chefs. One tour, an eight-day private safari in Tanzania that includes a two-night stay at the Ngorongoro Crater and several days of game watching in the Serengeti National Park runs $6,495 a person, double occupancy, or $15,850 for a family of three. The total price for three jumps nearly $5,000 with upgraded accommodations. Depending on the provider, small group luxury safari tours in Africa typically start at $5,000 a person for an eight to ten day trip. Abercrombie & Kent’s Tanzania safaris, for example, start at $5,600 a person with some trips approaching $10,000 a person, depending on the accommodations. Micato Safari has Tanzania trips beginning at $6,350 a person.

The expansion of Ultimate Escapes’ travel options marks a trend among destination clubs growing their travel services. In addition to Exclusive Resorts’ tours, both Quintess, LRW and, when it launches this fall, Abercrombie & Kent Residence Club , have incorporated tour options into plans. For the top destination club players, offering such travel extras now seems to be a requirement.

Readers, weigh in. Should destination clubs continue to add more of these travel extras or stick to their core real estate business?
