  • Retail Travel Agents — Retail travel agents who are working in other countries will be able to connect you with customers who are hoping to travel to your corner of the world. These agents often work directly with their customers in order to book their flights, accommodations and travel arrangements. In addition, many people rely on retail travel agents in order to provide them with recommendations for activities to do in the area. When they can access your real-time availability at any time of the day, they will be more likely to book your tours for their customers.Interested in learning more about partnering with retail travel agents?

  • Overseas Wholesalers — Overseas wholesalers do not sell travel products directly to consumers. Instead, they would promote your tours and activities to retail travel agents and other travel suppliers as part of a valuable package deal. Partnering with overseas wholesalers can help you increase your appeal to retail travel agents in different parts of the world.
  • Online Travel Agents — Online Travel Agents, or OTAs, are some of the most powerful booking agents today. Many travelers look to these sites in order to book affordable, all-inclusive vacation packages. You can work with OTAs in order to have your tours and activities bundled into their vacation packages that they are promoting. This allows you to reach an endless number of customers across the world.
  • Inbound Tour Operators — Inbound Tour Operators are based in your region, and they will market your products to overseas agents. They typically create packages based on special interests, which can increase your appeal to niche travelers.
