Why Travel Agents Need an Adventure Booking Platform to Stay Ahead of the Game
Ready to seize big opportunities and earn more commission in the travel industry’s fastest-growing category? You’ve come to the right place. In a recent Q&A session with TourRadar’s Senior Product Manager Clemens, he shared an inside look at the company’s cutting-edge products and how they will enable travel agents to earn more by working with an Adventure Booking Platform (ABP) like TourRadar.
How does TourRadar’s ABP work?
In a nutshell, it’s your one-stop shop for booking multi-day adventures. TourRadar is the leading Adventure Booking Platform that connects agents and travellers with over 50,000 life-enriching experiences around the world. We work with over 2,500 trusted providers globally and offer a diverse range of travel styles and destinations. And the best part? We have a strong pipeline of features that allow us to efficiently support travel agents and assist them in generating more revenue.
What does the communication look like through TourRadar’s ABP?
Gone are the days when you had to spend countless hours on the phone with various operators and suppliers on the ground. Our TourRadar ABP allows easy, direct communication with both operators and TourRadar Customer Support. So, if you’re booking for multiple clients and have several questions for different operators on our platform, you can easily send them a direct message and save hours on the phone. The process is simple and straightforward. Not to mention, we at TourRadar have already cultivated strong relationships with operators — saving you time and energy. In addition to enjoying access to our vast network of wonderful operators, you can also utilize our around-the-clock customer service. This means there are two safety lines, so neither you nor your client will ever be left without support.

What is one of the advantages of booking with TourRadar?
One of our platform’s biggest unique selling points (USPs) is the aggregation of a lot of inventory brought together in one interface. Currently, travel agents like you have to approach various operators and websites (not to mention get accustomed to working with various booking engines as well as different points of contact) to find what you’re looking for and ultimately place a booking. At TourRadar, we eliminate the hassle by offering a large inventory with a variety of products and providing direct bookability within a few clicks. Moreover, you don’t need to be tech-savvy to use our ABP.
What does the sign-up and onboarding process look like?
Gain access to our large inventory of multi-day adventures without paying any costs or signup fees. All you have to do is simply click on the ‘Sign Up’ button (found here) and fill out your details to register your interest. Shortly after, TourRadar will contact you to help with the next steps. In terms of the onboarding process, it’s self-service and takes about three minutes to complete. After this point, you can get started immediately with placing your first booking! Not only will you be able to quickly place bookings, but your new TourRadar Agent Dashboard will also help you easily manage your clients’ bookings all in one place.
How do travel agents make payments through TourRadar?
Payments can be made directly through our ABP via your personal or business credit card and also through a normal customer payment route. Both are easy and frictionless. In terms of the first option, you are able to handle everything on your own — your client doesn’t need to be in contact with TourRadar at all. This gives agents like you a lot of flexibility in how you want to utilise or package our products. Alternatively, by sharing a link within our ABP, you can also have your clients pay directly.
Not only will these TourRadar payment processes eliminate your need for credit card authorisation forms (which still mostly appear in paper form or are often insecurely stored) and remove any stress involved with 3D Secure, but they will also pave the way in making the travel industry more secure.
Do travel agents receive commission for each booking?
Yes! Travel agents receive commission on every booking made through our TourRadar ABP. In fact, we offer a highly competitive commission structure on a wide range of adventures that enables agents like you to earn more revenue doing what you love.
