Our Agency Program
If you are reading this
you are probably faced with one of the most difficult
decisions of your life as a travel agency owner. Stay in
business or not? Caps are getting worse, many
franchises have tightened the requirements for small
agencies, and the mega-agencies are everywhere you look.
From 1998-2000 over 3000 agencies simply closed their doors
and turned in there plates. Sept 11 was a death blow
to many agencies. Many owners are simply closing
rather than try to sell their business.
OK - now that we have
depressed you even further lets talk about what we can do.
First I would guess that in many respects our agencies are
very similar. We are family run, we have a small staff, we
hate paperwork, and we love to travel. We do feel that we do
have a few advantages over other agencies our size though:
- We can make your
existing business virtual
- We are not limited by
geography
- We own some of the top
travel web site names 1cruise.com,cruiselines.net,
allinclusiveresorts.net and incentivecruises.net
- We can take over your
web hosting
- We maintain an active
weekly mailing list of over 25,000
- We are not dependent
on airline ticket revenues
- We do not pay for
retail space
- We are generally at
higher commission rates than other agencies our size
- Our staff is virtual
so if we are out of the office for an hour or a week,
messages still get to the agents.
- We have one of the
fastest growing affiliate programs on the web.
Our offer to you is
simple. Join us and we will take you virtual. Since every
agency is different we will work out a transition plan and
compensation plan that is appropriate to your situation.
Please note that we do not buy agencies. We don't just want
your business, we want to work with you. Our goal is to
restructure your business in such a way that as part of
ours, we can both be more profitable.
Since every situation is
different, please contact
us and let us
know about your situation.
