Homeworking agency Not Just Travel has unveiled a new app and website for its Partners in Travel (PIT) referral scheme for its consultants.
Agents can partner with any business, charity, sports club or individual and reward them with a percentage of the commission when a referral results in a holiday booking.
The programme enables consultants to support local businesses and give back to the community while gaining new customers, without spending time or money advertising.

The revamped scheme enables NJT agents to have a customised website that they can share while the new app features personalised logos and text, enabling potential customers to see offers and make enquiries.
New marketing and guides are available for the partner companies, organisations or individuals to help them promote the agents.
Since the relaunch of Partners In Travel in October, holiday sales through the scheme are already up 23% compared to the same period last year, while revenue has increased 50.5% year on year.
Co-founder Steve Witt said the “game-changing” developments are designed to empower agents’ businesses “like never before”.
“We’ve invested significant time and resources into creating cutting-edge technology that makes connecting clients with our homeworkers seamless and stress-free,” he said.
“Our mission is to make life as effortless – and as profitable – as possible for our consultants.
“Behind the scenes, our head office team takes care of all the heavy lifting. From managing commission splits to ensuring partners are paid promptly, we handle the admin so our consultants can focus on what they do best: crafting unforgettable holidays and building thriving businesses.
“This innovative approach doesn’t just offer a lucrative new income stream for our members – it gives them a powerful edge in a competitive market, helping them rise above the rest.”
Not Just Travel consultant Kelly Baldwin, of Aspire Travel, set up a Partner in Travel to support a local girl, Caitlin, who suffers from juvenile Batten disease and has lost her vision.
So far, her agency has raised £12,000 from more than 84 holiday bookings and various offline efforts to help fund critical home adaptations.
“Being able to support Caitlin through our fundraising efforts has been incredibly meaningful to me and my team. This money is making a real difference in Caitlin’s life,” said Baldwin.
“What excites me most about the new PIT scheme is its potential to further expand our reach and impact.
“With more opportunities to engage our clients and partners, Caitlin’s dream is to go on a cruise, and my team is committed to making that dream a reality.
“Through our upcoming PIT fundraising initiatives, we hope to create an unforgettable experience for Caitlin and give her the joy and adventure she so richly deserves.”
Baldwin recently launched The Travel Hub on Cottenham High Street in Cambridgeshire.
