Updated April 2023 – Expanding your distribution network and improving your online distribution strategy can greatly benefit both outbound and inbound tour operators , but it’s key to remember that success in the travel industry is not solely based on the quality of your product. Partnering with travel wholesalers can provide a valuable channel for reaching a wider audience and increasing bookings, but it’s important to strike the right balance between working with wholesalers and maintaining your own tourism profit margins .

These tips will help you develop relationships with the top businesses in the wholesale travel industry.

What is a tour wholesaler?

If you want to target wholesalers as a distribution partner, then you need to know exactly what they do within the travel industry.

The role of the wholesaler is unique, in the sense that they don’t work directly with travelers in the marketplace. Rather, a wholesaler will sell your tour products to retail travel agencies. In addition, they work with inbound tour operators to manage the specific details of itineraries. Essentially, B2B travel wholesalers help create all-inclusive packages for travelers to book. More and more travelers are now searching for comprehensive travel packages that include all of their experiences. By engaging with tour operators and travel wholesalers, it will be a valuable distribution channel for you to focus on.

9 tips for tour operators working with wholesalers

Here are nine tips for successfully working with B2B travel wholesalers.

Learn how tour wholesalers work

Learning how tour wholesalers work is crucial for tour operators who want to effectively partner with them and grow their business. Wholesalers act as intermediaries between tour operators and travel agents, and they often have established relationships with a wide network of agents who can help promote and sell the tours. By understanding how wholesalers operate, tour operators can better navigate the process of negotiating commission with travel agents and setting competitive pricing for their tours. 

Additionally, understanding how much travel agents make can help tour operators tailor their offerings to meet the needs and expectations of their target audience, ultimately leading to increased sales and a more profitable business.

Highlight the unique selling point of your tours

Wholesale tour operators are frequently searching for tours and activities that are both unique and authentic. These are the types of experiences that travelers are craving, and they want to be able to customize the itineraries. Not only that but having unique experiences will also be appealing to retail travel agents to better market the activity. According to Arival’s Path to Purchase September 2021 edition, the demand for unique experiences in 2021 has increased at drastic levels. More travelers are now searching for an experience that stands out and they’re willing to spend more for it.

When working with travel wholesalers, use online marketing techniques to showcase your products. Be sure to emphasize any value-added features that you include with the booking rate. Building unique experiences can be as simple as adding extra elements that your competitors might not do. For example, Offering lunch or dinner options along with a tour maybe that extra bit that will seal the deal.

Streamline your bookings online

Given the nature of their job, wholesalers will almost exclusively work with tour and activity operators who offer online booking. They are not going to have the time available to make phone calls or wait for e-mail responses. To attract the best wholesalers in the wholesale travel industry, you should implement an online booking system that simplifies the booking process. In addition, your online booking system should allow them to automatically earn their commission. This is, understandably, a priority of wholesalers.

For instance, an online booking software like Rezdy allows you to integrate and connect with multiple distribution agents. Once connected, they’ll be able to see live rates and real-time availability that allows them to book instantly. This removes the need to get in touch with you in order to process the booking. Once a booking has been processed, the commission rate you set will be automatically distributed to the agent. 

With a system like Rezdy in place, it’ll help both you and the wholesaler save time spent on processing orders. As a result, it will allow you to allocate your resources to more important areas of your business.

Set consistent rates for your tours

It’s imperative that you set consistent rates for your tours and activities, regardless of who is selling or booking them. For example, you can’t charge OTAs (online travel agents) one rate for your tours while switching up the prices on your website. When working with wholesalers, it is important to note that the commission rate may vary from one wholesaler to another. This may impact your profit margins, but it is beneficial to work with a diverse range of distribution agents.

Approach each tour wholesaler individually

Each wholesaler is different and the services they provide may vary from one wholesaler to another. As a tour operator, you’ll be working with multiple wholesalers located in different countries and regions that provide different services to different types of travel communities.

It’s important that you treat each wholesaler individually and build a personalized partnership. By doing so, it will help maximize your bookings and give you ideas for future marketing strategies. Consider incorporating a cloud based phone system into your operations to enhance your collaboration during the initial stages of your partnership. With this system, you can easily communicate and coordinate no matter where these wholesalers may be located. Features like call forwarding, voicemail, and conference calling enable seamless communication allowing for quick responses and effective coordination.

Meet your tour wholesaler face to face

Building a strong relationship with your tour wholesalers is crucial in ensuring you continue to have a smooth ongoing partnership. Being able to build trust and likeability with them allows for a more personalized venture that benefits both parties.

To communicate with your wholesaler via email gets the job done, however meeting them in person or over video -call will add that personal element. You will see that communication and negotiations will flow much easier once you have met them face-to-face.

Connect with your tour wholesaler on social media

Social media is currently one of the strongest platforms many businesses use to communicate with their customers and followers. In this day and age, many businesses – big or small – have a social media page that they will use to promote their business or provide updates.

You can use social media to your advantage by engaging with your tour wholesalers on multiple platforms. When you’re able to show support and promote your partners on social media by following, sharing, and engaging with them, they will likely return the favor. 

When other businesses promote you on their social media page, this will open you up to a pool of viewers that may not be aware of your business. Consider it as free publicity.

Treat your tour wholesalers like your business

When you apply to partner up with a travel wholesaler, it’s best to do some research about the company and approach them personally. Partnering with a travel wholesaler is more than just signing up to become one of their suppliers, you need to treat them as if they’re your own business. After all, they are providing you with another stream of income.

When working with a travel wholesaler, make sure you inform them of the latest updates, promotions, and opportunities. This will ensure that their staff is up to speed on the latest information that they then can share with their customers.

Keep track of your bookings

It’s important to be able to measure the success of the partnership between your business and the travel wholesaler. After all, you want to know what’s working and what’s not in order to cater to and strategize for the best possible outcomes. 

Keeping track of the bookings that come through from each distribution agent will allow you to have a better understanding of each market. This can then help you create marketing strategies catered towards these markets in order to boost your bookings.

Key takeaways

Working with travel wholesalers can be a valuable strategy for tour operators looking to grow their business and reach a wider audience. By understanding how wholesaler tour operators work, negotiating fair commission rates, and developing strong relationships with their partners, tour operators can successfully navigate the complex landscape of the travel industry and maximize their profitability. 

One effective tool for achieving just that is an online booking software like Rezdy, which streamlines the process of partnering with distribution agents, including wholesalers. Rezdy’s innovative channel manager platform ensures that all partners have access to your live rates and availability, making it easier to manage your distribution network and maximize your profitability.

List of 18 Key Travel Agency Suppliers

What do we mean by travel agency suppliers?

Suppliers by type of agency, list of suppliers for travel agencies.

In a constantly evolving emerging industry, it is a good practice to periodically evaluate your agency’s suppliers. You can always make adjustments according to your criteria and market-facing strategy. Let’s analyze the requirements together, in the current market conditions.

Suppliers are defined as any entity that offers tourism or management products, i.e. that can be marketed, or used by travel agencies.

Examples include:

• Airlines 
• Hotels 
• Cruise companies 
• Car rental companies 
• Excursion providers 
• Travel insurance companies 
• Tour operators  
• Wholesale companies. 

It is also important to consider the software suppliers needed to promote, distribute and sell your tour packages.

Each type of agency has suppliers geared toward its target market. 

For retail travel agencies , their suppliers, in terms of products, will be mainly local wholesale agencies, located in their outbound market, that provide them with structured services. 

For wholesale travel agencies , dedicated to tour planning, their product suppliers will be destination tour operators, hotel chains and major outfitters, such as bed banks.

Which suppliers are used by a retail travel agency ?

In a market that requires an omnichannel presence, retail travel agencies must have suppliers dedicated to strengthening their outreach to the end customer with the best offers.

• Management tools : using travel agency software can reduce manual work, streamline administration and offer customers a more personalized experience. 
• CRM and Marketing Tools : a good CRM allows you to track the activity of your leads and customers and offer them the alternatives that best suit their preferences and needs. Marketing tools offer email marketing and enable actions to be automated to keep in close contact with travelers and retain their loyalty. 
• Integrations : connecting an agency’s systems with suppliers of flights, tours, hotels and activities will allow you to offer a better experience to your clients. You can see a list of examples of simple integration capabilities at the end of this article.
• Product suppliers: A selection of local or global wholesale agencies with tour planning and services in line with your agency’s business model.

Which suppliers are used by a wholesale travel agency?

Focusing on the organization of trips and tours and targeting the B2B business, wholesale agencies require suppliers that reinforce their outreach to other companies to achieve their objectives.

• Management systems to automate the processes and administration of the company. Managing and integrating suppliers is key to achieving this goal.
• Booking software to offer your agencies simple and streamlined access to your product portfolio. 
• CRM oriented toward market support and development. 
• Product suppliers : in this case these will be the hotels and chains directly or through Channel Managers, Tour Operators, bed banks, destinations and all the providers involved in running a tour.

Although it is impossible to make a list including all the options, the lists of exhibitors at the major travel fairs are an excellent source of contacts and supplier data. 

Suppliers aimed at wholesale agencies:

• Juniper or Travelgatex : These are tools that offer different modules depending on the scope of the company. They are designed to consolidate the sales flow, operation and supplier integration in a single platform. They also enable access to customers so that they can carry out their transactions. In this field we can also include Price Surfer and Booking Motor.
• Hotelbeds: the world’s largest bed bank following the acquisition of Tourico and GTA in 2017, Hotelbeds offers global coverage in its hotel and service offerings, and is easily integrated into your company’s internal systems.
• Omnibees: offering a solution that provides access to more than 5,000 hotels in Brazil and Latin America, it also allows you to negotiate direct agreements and simplifies international distribution .
• Trivago: a leading metasearch engine with global reach. Through FastConnect it streamlines distribution and allows customers to access your products as they search. 

Suppliers aimed at retail agencies:

In this day and age, it is more important than ever to place market staying power as a valuable asset when choosing a wholesaler for our passengers. Here are some examples:

• Bedsonline : a global supplier of the Hotelbeds group. It distributes services, hotels and car rentals worldwide.
• Fuerza Delta , in Colombia, is the wholesaler of Viajes Chapinero , a pioneer in the market with more than 40 years of experience.
• Cielos Abiertos , a wholesaler that is part of the Aviatur group, offers hotels and international services to all agencies in Colombia.
• Mega Travel is one of the leading companies in the Mexican market. Its strength is its wide range of products in the five major continents.
• OPESA is a company with several years of experience in the Mexican market. Through VIP access, agents can receive special training and other benefits.
• SALMOR , in Ecuador, has been offering products to travel agencies for more than 30 years. They are representatives of WDW and several cruise companies.

Suppliers aimed at both wholesale and retail travel agencies

The difference lies in the commissions and the level of connectivity.

• Expedia Travel Group : Founded in 1996, it shares 95% of the world market with Booking. 

Through EPS (Expedia Partner Solutions) it offers solutions to the industry, from integrations, to 100% customizable landing pages, to affiliations so that agencies can offer flights, hotels, cars and activities in exchange for a commission.

• Booking.com : A member of Booking Travel Holdings, Booking revolutionized the industry with its pay-at-destination model.  

It offers an affiliate program with access to its hotels, tours and services, along with various tools geared toward travel agencies.

• Best Day : Mexico’s largest travel agency. Acquired in 2020 by Despegar.com, it specializes in hotels and services in Latin America, through its wholesaler, Hoteldo.com .
• Civitatis : provides a wide range of tours and experiences around the world. You can access its affiliate program that allows you to earn commissions on sales.
• Grayline : with over 100 years of experience and 700 destinations worldwide, Grayline is a pioneer in transfers and city tours. It currently offers an extensive range of excursions and it is possible to become an affiliate , as well as to integrate its content.
• Ofran : founded in Israel, this company provides car rental solutions in more than 50 destinations around the world. You can integrate their product into your travel agency’s product range, or use their affiliate program and earn commissions on sales.

The options are endless. The important thing is that you can choose your suppliers by paying special attention to those that suit your company’s strategy.

• Hubspot : This is a global CRM tool that allows you to manage your contact and customer information, manage your sales actions and track the work of the different teams in your company. 
• CRM Travel : This system is specially designed for the travel industry, so it has specific adaptations related to the sector.

Corporate Travel Companies Are Bulking Up: ‘Getting Bigger Is Critical’

Justin Bachman, Skift

April 10th, 2024 at 10:06 AM EDT

Pressure from travel suppliers who want better merchandising tools and lower costs are compelling travel management companies to consolidate.

The big players in the world of managing corporate travel are gearing up to get bigger: Amex GBT’s $570 million bid for CWT and the sale of Direct Travel to an investor consortium are two of the latest examples of the race to bulk up through mergers. 

The trend is driven largely by two factors: Travel suppliers – primarily airlines – seeking greater efficiencies in their distribution channels and the enormous capital required to invest in the technology to sell to and service travelers around the world.

“I think fundamentally customer needs are driving consolidation in the industry,” Amex GBT CEO Paul Abbott told Skift. “I think supplier needs are also changing. Suppliers want their distribution channels to deliver a modern retailing experience,” he said.

For example, airlines are moving a growing share of their fares from the traditional global distribution system model to a direct NDC (New Distribution Capability) platform. And agencies are under pressure to adopt it. 

CWT merging into Amex GBT is “a perfect example of how it’s really only the big players that have the capital to do it,” Mike McCormick, a travel consultant and former head of the Global Business Travel Association, said on April 1 on the Travel Again podcast.

The largest corporate firms, such as Amex GBT, BCD Travel and Navan, have been forced “to really make big investments in technology and continued investments” given the aggressive push by American and others, McCormick noted. 

Navan, for example, last month touted its deeper integration with United Airlines to support that carrier’s pricing strategy for fares, along with other self-serve tools and more personalization for travelers.

“Getting bigger is critical in terms of  a lot of the airline changes and negotiation, and always pressure on earnings and commissions and business in general,” McCormick said.

Investing For the Next-Generation of Travel

Investor Steve Singh, the founder and former CEO of Concur, is managing director of Madrona, the Seattle-based venture capital firm that is among the four investment firms that acquired Direct Travel Inc. on April 2. 

Singh told Skift the investor group is keen to create a “next-generation” travel management company that would offer a seamless connected trip in which all of a traveler’s airline, hotel, meeting, ground transport, and appointment bookings would be integrated, allowing for far simpler itinerary changes. For now, it’s an aspirational goal, one the industry has long wanted but that has proven tough to attain. 

Travel management companies sell multiple technology platforms to serve customers and “the result is that it is very expensive to build and run a TMC,” Singh wrote in a blog post explaining the investor group’s view of how the managed-travel industry should evolve. 

“The fact that these legacy solutions are built on GDS platforms that are not open and not extensible makes the goal of delivering an incredible client experience at a better value proposition even more challenging.”

“As someone who has logged tens of millions of flight miles, I would love a system that allows me to reserve a hotel from the time I arrive in a town to the time I need to leave, not from 3 p.m. to noon,” Singh wrote in his post.

What’s Next for Travelers

Amex GBT customers may see a greater focus on particular industry verticals, such as energy, U.S. government, mining and marine industries for CWT. Those areas tend to present greater complexity and transaction value, along with higher customer retention rates, Amex GBT told investors March 25 explaining the CWT deal.

Abbott said successful travel-management companies will increasingly need both software and services — not just one — that are married effectively.

“You have to have the best technology and the best people, you have to integrate it better than anyone else, and you have to deliver that consistently on a global basis,” he said. “And that’s hard and it requires significant investment and significant expertise.”
