1. Customized itineraries. Travel agents can create personalized itineraries for their clients, setting themselves apart from the competition, thanks to the bedsonline.com site that allows agents to book individual components or bundle them to create a customized package itinerary. Bedsonline allows agents to add value and flexibility to their clients' travel experience.
2. Pre- and post-cruise accommodations. Thanks to Bedsonline's exclusive offerings, travel agents are able to immediately confirm hotel bookings. Compare that to the time lag when you book through the cruise line. What's more, thanks to their negotiating power, agents booking with Bedsonline.com receive lower rates, meaning they can add on a service fee while still offering their clients some of the lowest rates around.
3. Cruise transfers and optional shore excursions. The ability to provide point-to-point transfers, whether shared or private, in virtually every port means that agents are able to provide their clients with a more complete vacation experience, both strengthening the client-agent relationship and earning them additional commissions.
4. Destination weddings. Travel agents looking to break into the destination wedding niche or who frequently book smaller destination weddings can take advantage of Bedsonline's excellent pricing and availability in top destinations. What's more, agents can offer their clients flexible payment options and book flexible arrival and departure dates for every component of the trip.
5. Browse, then book. Clients can browse through the activity offerings online through the Guidego link. And while clients can look, they can't book - unless it's through a travel agent that is. This is a tremendous boon to agents, providing them with an additional opportunity to reach out to their clients and drive sales.
