Gold Medal has renewed its contract with the Truly Independent Professional Travel Organisation for the ninth year running.
Gold Medal head of travel industry sales Lee Marshall said the operator signed up for 2007/08 in order to continue accessing up to 5,000 independent agents with special deals.
Marshall said that Gold Medal was also influenced by the launch of the TIPTO online training academy.
The academy has now seen 9,200 training modules completed by the 2,500 agents registered on the site.
Marshall said: “Agents are key to our work at Gold Medal and TIPTO is a great forum for us to communicate our great services, deals and offers to independent agents.”
TIPTO chairman Nigel Harris welcomed the new deal, adding: “Gold Medal is a key consolidator and the opportunities that it brings to TIPTO really enhance the total TIPTO product portfolio.”
