1000Access: The Game-Changing Travel Advisor Platform Adds Hotel and Car

 

14 November 2024 – Following its successful soft launch in North America earlier this year, 1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG) is thrilled to announce a powerful new addition to 1000Access — its revolutionary platform designed to supercharge how travel advisors operate. Now, advisors have seamless access to hotels and car rental options alongside flights.

 

Developed in partnership with Sabre, 1000Access is not just another booking tool; it’s a comprehensive solution that is transforming the way independent travel advisors, Virtuoso members, and mid-sized agencies streamline their workflows and grow their business.

 

“Our initial goal with 1000Access was clear,” says Nicola Veltman, Co-founder and CEO of 1000MTG. “We wanted to create a platform that saves time and drives revenue for travel advisors. Today, it has evolved into a game-changer that provides real-time access to a wide array of content plus advanced features like automatic ticketing, negotiated fares, and commission tracking.”

 

Put More Revenue Back in Your Pocket

 

“For too long, advisors have been losing out by relying on third-party websites and airlines that don’t pay commissions,” explains Ben Ross, Co-founder and CEO. “1000Access changes the game, putting those missed earnings right back where they belong—into the advisor’s pocket.”

 

Gone are the days of juggling multiple systems. With 1000Access, travel advisors can compare rates, check availability, and complete bookings all from one unified dashboard. The platform’s automation takes care of time-consuming tasks like managing traveler profiles, generating invoices, and creating itineraries, freeing advisors to focus on what they do best: delivering top-tier service to their clients.

 

“This platform isn’t just another tool; it’s designed to maximize productivity,” says Ross. “While it’s powered by Sabre Red LaunchPad, the product, content and backend automation we’ve built in ensures advisors get the most out of every workday.”

 

Real Results, Real Growth

 

1000Access also provides deep insights into an advisor’s business performance, from tracking top-selling destinations to identifying up-selling and cross-selling opportunities. With the ability to manage client preferences, loyalty memberships, and special requests, travel advisors can elevate their customer experience, ensuring each itinerary is precisely tailored to the client’s needs. And, with automated commission tracking, 1000Access ensures advisors never miss a payment, giving them the financial peace of mind they deserve.

 

“Our biggest challenge right now?” Ross admits. “Keeping up with the demand. The market has been waiting for a tool like this, and we’re seeing incredible interest.”

 

Already 40% of 1000 Mile Travel Group’s North American independent travel advisors and business owners have been onboarded to 1000Access, collectively earning over $120,000USD in airline commission.

 

A Seamless Transition for Every Advisor

 

Switching to a new platform can feel daunting, but 1000Access requires no prior GDS experience and takes away the need to use the GDS. The platform and 1000MTG teams offer extensive training, live webinars, and ongoing support to ensure travel advisors can hit the ground running. Regular updates keep it on the cutting edge of industry trends, empowering advisors with the latest tools they need to succeed.

 

As 1000MTG nears its 10th anniversary, 1000Access is poised to be a cornerstone of the company’s long-term vision. 

 

“1000Access represents the future of travel advisory,” says Ross, “streamlining operations, empowering advisors, and giving them a competitive edge in an evolving landscape.”
