How To Grow Your Travel Business with Groups

 

Contributed By: Dream Vacations

 

As a travel advisor, one of the most effective ways to grow your business is by tapping into the power of group bookings. These allow you to increase your sales volume, expand your client base, and build stronger relationships with your customers by accessing exclusive opportunities that may not be available to individual travelers. Group bookings are a powerful tool for you as a travel advisor – and by joining the Dream Vacations franchise network, you can leverage our enhanced group technology to soar to new heights.

 

What Can Groups Do for Your Business?

Expand to New Clients

Group bookings are an excellent way to connect with new clients – when you book a vacation for groups, you can identify yourself as the go-to travel advisor for everyone traveling with that group.

 

Get the BEST Value 

Many suppliers offer special incentives, such as bulk discounts and additional commissions, to allow you to earn more money while still providing incredible value for your clients.

 

Target Niche Markets

You can utilize groups to fill just about any niche – from class reunions to family gatherings, corporate team building, and aficionados of any hobby, sport, or music genre! This is an easy way to get your agency on the radar as the go-to travel advisor for consumers within those niches.

 

Why Dream Vacations?
