Online travel agency kimkim has a new platform designed to connect travel advisors with a global network of destination management companies and vetted in-destination specialists.

The platform gives advisors access to a roster of specialists that kimkim has spent a decade curating and also offers a variety of tools to handle client communications, trip management and commissions.

“As a travel advisor on kimkim, you'll have a reliable partner who offers personalized trip planning, fast turnaround, and a global network with insider access,” says the new travel advisor platform. “We'll connect you with the best local experts from around the world to build custom itineraries tailored to your clients' interests, travel styles, and budgets."

To mark the launch of the travel advisor platform, KimKim will pay advisors an additional 5 percent commission for bookings made now through December 31.

Also noteworthy:

  • Advisors can register for free on the KimKim platform
  • A series of destination webinars (covering Norway, Costa Rica, Spain and more) are slated to take place in November in December


Not to be overlooked, fam trip getaways will take place during the first quarter as part of Wave season.
Advisors who have already tested the new platform provided positive feedback.

For instance, Jennie J. (Last names were not included), owner of Monterra Travel said: “Kimkim is very easy to work with. I have used them for three bookings for Norway and all of the trips have been wonderful…The itineraries are clearly detailed and the customer service and support are immediate, making my travelers feel well taken care of."

Erika F., owner of Time4U2Pack added “My local specialist Diane has been amazing to work with. She and I have been able to create some great trips for my clients. The itinerary is very detailed and great for my clients.I am so happy to have found kimkim!”
