“Destinations
Redefined”
In
the conventional sense of the word, The Travel
Society cannot be classified as a travel agency, but
rather a travel company devoted solely to the
success of independent travel consultants operating
their own business. Headquartered in Colorado, our
company offers a comprehensive array of services to
a broad base of travel professionals nationwide. We
are different in that our ONLY focus is supporting
independent travel consultants. With
20
years of success as a 100% Host Agency, we are
recognized
as a leader in the industry.
The “new way” of doing business is nothing new to
us.
The Travel Society offers a comprehensive and
affordable solution to the independent travel
consultant operating a travel agency business.
We are committed to providing the highest level of
service to our clients. We offer a complete business
support system to elite travel consultants who want
to focus on sales and customer service rather than
the details of agency operation.
The Travel Society is a fully insured travel company
approved by ARC & IATAN.
Our Clients
The demographic profile of our clients varies.
Our client base consists of: home based
consultants, storefront agencies, corporate
on-sites, wholesalers, tour operators and specialty
travel providers
needing the services of a professional, experienced
travel company to support their individual business
needs. What our clients do have in common is a
strong desire to be successful, a strong sense of
self direction and an entrepreneurial sprit.
Our Programs
Affiliate Program
The Affiliate Program is designed for consultants
who want to operate their own independent travel
business from any location with internet access.
Apollo, Focalpoint.Net™ by Galileo, provides
complete access to computer functions needed for
your business. A dedicated support team is assigned
to your individual business and will assist with any
daily business needs.
Associate Program
The Travel Society provides a cost-effective,
hassle-free way to operate an independent travel
agency business from one of our three Colorado
locations. Associates,
located in our offices,
are highly qualified with an established clientele.
Consultants are provided private desk space with a
full time receptionist and many other added benefits
that allow them to conduct their independent travel
business within an office environment.
Corporate Affiliate
The world of corporate travel today is dramatically
different then it was a few years ago. With airline
commissions dropping to zero and agency transaction
fees rising to unprecedented highs, corporations are
looking for ways to control their travel expenses.
Many have found the answer in bringing travel
services "in-house". By employing their own expert
travel agent and contracting with agencies for
support services and technology only, they have
empowered themselves to take control of their travel
budgets and the quality of service provided to their
travelers.
The Travel Society is the best-prepared and
qualified agency to service this new type of travel
agency/corporation relationship. Our program offers
ticket fulfillment, quality control
and
monthly reporting all for one minimum transaction
fee.
Management Solutions
Establishing a new business or reorganizing an
exiting business can be challenging. The
traditional world of the travel industry, as we know
it, is changing. Travelers are more seasoned and
educated, the distribution of products has changed,
and the overall costs
of remaining profitable are a daily challenge. For
agencies and companies to succeed in the “new world”
of travel, it is imperative to evaluate your
business model and research new ways of doing
business.
In addition to our suite of programs, we are able to
provide detailed management solutions for your
business requirements. Our hands-on approach to
listening and creating a management solution that
works is what makes us unique in the travel
business.
