Travel agents could be entitled to 6% commission on experiential holidays they sell from the new online activities and tours distributor, Isango!
The website will sell thousands adventure and life-style activities in more than 100 countries around the world, according to its found and chief executive officer Ranjan Singh.
He said the sight would be partnering with online travel sites and travel agents on a revenue-share basis. “Online travel is focused on the destination and getting there, not the purpose of the journey. We believe people travel in order to do things. While you can book flight and hotel online you cannot book things to do. It’s difficult to book experiences online.”
Singh also said there would be a special log-in and support for high street agents, as well as allowing them to sell Isango! activity deals from their own sites on a white label basis. Commission would be around 6%.
“There is a great fit for high street travel agents,” he said. “They would get incremental revenue and build up customer loyalty. That’s a win for the travel agent.”
Isango! will announce a partnership with an online travel site later today and its partnership arrangements for high-street agents in the coming months.
