Travel agents in Asia will need to wait a little longer before they
can access a new industry booking portal being established by Australian
travel company Luxury Escapes.
The booking portal, which goes live in March, will give agents access
to commissionable rates for Luxury Escapes' Limited Time Exclusive
offers.
In stage one, only agents in Australia and New Zealand have access to
the portal, although the company said it will be working towards “all
countries” in further stages.
Agents in Australia and NZ who have been purchasing Luxury Escapes
limited time packages and selling to customers for zero commission, will
now receive commission on products being sold.
Agents will have access to Luxury Escapes’ hotel products, as well as its bespoke tour and cruise product.
“We've always loved the trade and the ability to work with literally
thousands of agents across Australia at scale is hugely exciting for
us,” says co-founder and CEO of Luxury Escapes, Adam Schwab.
“The launch of our new industry portal allows us to give access to
agents to our very best product and importantly, pay agents for the
incredible work they do helping customers every single day.”
Founded in Australia in 2013, Luxury Escapes has more than eight
million members globally who can access tailor-made experiences on
everything from accommodation to excursions, flights, travel insurance
and car hire.
