Just using the word “boutique” to describe virtually anything implies a more dedicated, personal approach and that same logic can apply to travel, especially travel planning. When it comes to assisting your travelers, you’d be forgiven if you went to one of the bigger, more mainstream routes, but are you missing out on an another opportunity to earn commission?

The short answer is, yes. Smaller boutique travel planning services such as Porter Escapes offer packages that are competitive with OTAs, allowing agents to earn commission from travelers. It’s a win, win for all.

“We have a dedicated team of travel planners to help both agents and travelers,” said Sandra Costa, Commercial Manager, Vacations and Packaged Products, Porter Escapes. “Our travel planners provide top customer service to provide seamless bookings for agents. We offer 8% commission for packages, regardless of the duration whether it’s a place like New York City for one night or two weeks.”

Agents’ primary booking engine should be any of the preferred GDS providers, although Porter Escapes’ own Travel Planners are available for assistance. With a flexible booking window, making reservations is easy for agents and the process ensures a seamless booking.

Of course travelers benefit from the unique experience that is Porter Airlines: flying from downtown Toronto, visiting cool destinations, staying in top-notch hotels and hitting the best attractions.
