How can partnering with a travel network set your independent business up for success?
We're continuing our discussion on what to consider when looking for a travel partner. So far, we've dug into the fine print and learned about the initial investment and requirements of a prospective network by looking at cost, length of commitment and flexibility and exclusivity.
Now let's take a closer look at another important factor: the advantages that come with joining a travel network.
At its core, a partner shares in the success of your business. How does this matter when searching for a prospective travel network partner? You'll want to ensure that your travel partner is providing you with the resources and services you need to achieve that success.
So how can you determine which travel network is right for you? Make a list of what you need most from a travel partner, then look closely at the resources, offerings and services that are available from each - these are what will give you a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Then figure out which one checks the most boxes. We've previously highlighted common resources and services that a good travel network provides - you can find those here. But not all travel networks are created equal.
