Our influencer program is the most sophisticated way to collaborate with travel brands. A new way to monetize. Apply to Join Where is this? Belmond La Samanna, St. Martin. A win-win for you and your followers Your followers will get more value when they travel, plus you earn a cut on everything they book with us (not just the first booking). Our influencer program is designed to be a win for you, your followers, our agency and the travel brands we collaborate with. Welcome to a new way to monetize. An Exclusive Opportunity We have built and patented an influencer portal from the ground up. No other travel agency has this level of transparency or sophistication. Additionally, we aren't pulling from PR and marketing budgets for travel brands. We can use funds labeled as "Travel Agency Co-ops." Suppliers usually throw this money at travel agencies without any expectation. Our portal changed everything, though. Now, global sales managers from the world's largest travel brands can pump money into our system and get serious ROI with robust reporting. Money, which was once tossed to the wind at old-school travel agencies, is now streaming towards us. That's where you come in. We use these funds for our influencer program. High-quality LuxRally Travel influencers are in high demand. Get the Edge Where is this? Belmond Sanctuary Lodge Machu Picchu, Peru. Where is this? Belmond San Miguelle de Allende, Mexico. No Scripted Content We act as an intermediary between travel brands and influencers. Why? Because our program has major ROI that travel brands can't generate alone. We work with the sales managers of travel suppliers to secure co-ops, send you on a free trip, and convert your followers to travelers. We want you to continue using your authentic format. We know if we give you a script, it will break trust. Authentic Promotion Sophisticated Tracking As an influencer, you will have access to our influencer portal to generate a tracked link. When a follower clicks on this link and books a trip, it will show up immediately in our influencer dashboard -- even if they don't use your landing page's form. You can see who booked the trip, which video or social media post converted the follower, the trip booking value, how much you earned, and when you can expect to get paid. Track Your Follower's Travel Where is this? Rosewood Kauri Cliffs, New Zealand. Where is this? Four Seasons Golden Triangle Tented Camp, Thailand. Full Transparency Our influencer portal shares the same backend data as our agent and vendor portals, so the information is accurate and available instantly. Travel suppliers can also track the campaign's performance, allowing all vested parties to watch their revenue grow and access critical information. Get Your Stats Upgrade Your Follower's Travel Your followers benefit from this collaboration as well. Firstly, our services are completely free. We won't be scamming your followers with subscriptions or service fees. They will receive dedicated support from a top-tier agent (no call centers or chatbots) who will get them booked in minutes, save them hundreds (sometimes thousands) of dollars, and oftentimes, our travel brands will offer an additional perk, i.e., if it's a cruise line, they will offer extra onboard credit. Your followers will get more with us than they could get alone. When someone travels with us, they never return to booking sites, credit card companies, or direct bookings. They text, call, Facebook Message, or WhatsApp their dedicated agent. We have many billionaire clients and regularly work with family offices. We have very high standards. Get Promotions Where is this? Amangiri, Utah. Where is this? Nizuc Resort and Spa, Cancun, Mexico. Monetize Your Follower's Travel As a LuxRally Travel influencer, you earn 10% of what we make. Let's say our commission was 10% on a $10,000 booking. Our agency would make $1,000, and 10% of that ($100) would go to you. You wouldn't, however, only earn commission on the first booking that your followers make; you will continue to earn on all bookings made by each follower for three years, allowing your income to build momentum over time. If "Follower A" books a trip on April 27th, 2025, you earn a commission on everything "Follower A" books until April 27th, 2028. You can add our tracked links to past content for extra monetization. Some influencers will elect to become travel agents. You would get access to our influencer-agent hybrid portal. This would give you the first right of refusal on leads coming from your channel (for 15 minutes after they submit their request) and the opportunity to earn 10x more on each transaction. Only top agents for your category can take leads from your channel, ensuring your leads have the highest chance of converting. This is one of our secrets to success. Our agents cannot "buy" leads; they must earn them through performance. Start Earning Who We Want This is an exclusive influencer program. We currently have less than ten active influencers. We are very mindful about who we accept. We only take on influencers we think could make serious money; we want you motivated to keep working with us. We know this will only work if you see a significant rise in your income. We only take influencers with an audience that will convert into travelers. Otherwise, we cannot secure free trips from our travel brand partners. When the right influencer joins our program, it becomes a win-win-win between our agency, the influencer, and the travel brand. If you think this is you, we invite you to apply below. Are you in? Where is this? Four Seasons Vail, Colorado. Where is this? Aman New York How it Works Apply: Apply to become an influencer with us. We will reach out with approval or denial within 24-48 hours. Meet us: After approval, you will be invited to set up a meeting with our Marketing Director to see whether we will be a good fit for each other. Sign the Contract: You will be sent a contract if we decide to move forward. Access the Portal: After signing the contract, we set up your landing page and give you access to our influencer portal. Start Earning: You can choose to go ahead and generate your tracked link to begin promoting our agency if you have existing up-and-coming content that aligns with travel. Take a Pilot Trip: We get to work and match you with the travel supplier we think will have the highest chance of success. The first trip will include a free hotel stay or cruise. Repeat at Scale: After your first free trip, we see how well you performed; if there is a high ROI, the door opens for many new opportunities. Depending on performance, we can offer a free trip plus cash compensation (along with the commissions on trips booked by followers). You have full control over which opportunities you take, we have no minimum numbers of trips or requirements. This is the general process. However, the specifics for each influencer are discussed in the meeting with our Marketing Director.

Trump International Golf Links Doonbeg, Ireland Take our free travel agent training. Are you thinking about becoming a travel agent in Michigan? We have you covered. We will provide your licensing, walk you through paperwork, provide in-depth training and mentorship, and it's all free to you. We don't make money until you do, and our commission split starts at a competitive 80%/20% (you keep 80%). Joining a Host Agency Will Simplify the Process When you join a host agency, a lot of the licensing and regulatory headaches disappear. Your host agency will provide an IATA number (which allows you to make commissionable bookings), handle your licensing, and (should) let you know if you need to file any paperwork. Your host agency's licensing will cover you unless you accept money directly from clients into your business entity or bank account. Make sure your host travel agency has a seller of travel licenses in key states. Florida, Washington State, Hawaii, and California require seller of travel licenses to sell to their residents. We have all needed licenses to sell travel to residents in the United States and our agents can sell all destinations not listed on the OFAC list . This article assumes you will be joining a host agency versus trying to open your own. There are various benefits to joining a host agency, i.e., access to a consortia, travel agent tools, mentorship, lower start-up costs, and so much more. Check out our guide to selecting the best host agency. We may or may not be the right match (though we probably are). Join Our Host Agency Where is this? Napasai, a Belmond Hotel, Koh Samui, Thailand Where is this? Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico Travel Agent Fees Complicate the Process If you want to charge your clients a fee, things become complicated. You will technically need your own Seller of Travel License if collecting fees into your business entity from Florida, California, Hawaii or Washington state residents (some additional states have other regulations regarding these transactions), and that gets expensive fast. Accepting direct payments from clients for travel may require compliance with additional business, tax, and licensing regulations imposed by city, county, and/or state authorities. Be sure to review and adhere to these requirements if payments are processed through your personal or business accounts. Fees don't just complicate your credentials; they also complicate your relationships with clients. This is something we discuss in our free travel agent training. Many travel agencies strongly recommend charging a fee. We do not. Our agents are banned from charging fees but earn more thanks to our efficient tools and comprehensive training. Earn More Don't Accidentally Become a Tour Operator Something else new agents may not consider is tour operator regulations. Being a tour operator requires additional credentials. You can "accidentally" become a tour operator when you try to put together a packaged trip. For example, you may want to put together a wine package for $10,000. You charge people for "tickets" that include hotels, tours, and car services. If you accept this money directly (not through your host agency) and then pay out each supplier, you will need to become a legal tour operator and carry the risk. This is usually a not-so-profitable and high-risk endeavor. There are much easier ways for a travel agent to land large payouts. We discuss this in detail in our travel agent training. Get Guidance Where is this? Maroma, a Belmond Hotel, Riviera Maya, Mexico Where is this? Aman Venice, Italy How Licensing Works for Our Agents We hold all of the sellers of travel licenses needed in the United States. Our agents do not accept payments from their clients to their business entities. All of their transactions run through us (the host agency). We are based in Florida, Therefore, our agents only need to file an Independent Agent Affidavit/Statement of Exemption and pay a fee of $51.50 to the State of Florida each year. This may sound intimidating, but it's not. We cover this step by step in our new agent orientation. After that, our agents are fully credentialed and ready to legally earn commissions under our IATA. Join Our Agency Educational Requirements and Certifications There is no educational requirement to become a travel agent in Michigan. However, host agencies will typically have required training or steps to access their credentials and IATA. For example, at our host travel agency, LuxRally Travel, we do background checks and require our agents to graduate from our training. We have standards, so our training is quite challenging. We want our agents to be top earners and train them from top to bottom. Start Learning Where is this? Four Seasons Safari Lodge Serengeti, Tanzania Where is this? Shangri La Paris, France What Comes After Becoming a Travel Agent in Michigan? Becoming a licensed travel agent in Michigan is pretty easy. You could probably find a host agency that would give you access to their credentials and IATA in days. However, what happens after that? You need to know how to use booking tools, get clients, close deals, work with hospitality professionals, handle travel agent accounting, etc. We cover all of this in detail during our training, provide comprehensive mentorship, and have a community of thriving agents who are constantly helping each other out. Also, we have the most advanced booking tool for travel agents (FastBook), meaning you only need to learn a few systems to start making bookings. FastBook pulls hundreds of rates for a single hotel in 30 seconds, and our CRM has tools that automate administrative tasks, i.e., invoicing, sending client profiles to hotels, and more. No other travel agency comes close to our tech. We programmed our systems ourselves versus outsourcing the design and coding to people who do not intimately understand the needs of a travel agent. Thrive as an Agent Our Free Travel Agent Training Program We don't make money until you do, and that builds our culture in the right direction. Our free training covers everything you need to know. You'll learn about brands, destinations, sales, working with hospitality professionals, group contract negotiations, general negotiations (i.e., what you can ask for if a client wants a large suite), how to use our booking tools, and so much more. Upon graduation, you'll have a comprehensive marketing course to bring you through your first thirty days, plus access to our weekly events, meetings, one-on-one sessions, forums, chats, and other continued education opportunities.

GDS (global distribution system) is one of the most potent travel resources. While powerful, it is also tough to learn and use, so only the most experienced agents try to master it. Let's break it down. Where is this? Amanoi, Vietnam "Our agents can access GDS rates directly in our booking portal." GDS (global distribution system) is one of the most potent travel resources.

GDS takes inventory, rates, and other key data from hotels, airlines, car rental services, etc., and disburses the information globally. For example, travel agents can access their consortium rates through GDS. Four Seasons will load their direct BAR and preferred partner rates into GDS. GDS is a massive hub of information. Travel agents need to access GDS through a GDS system like Amadeus, Sabre, or Travelport. Once in GDS, an agent can view all direct rates from a supplier for a hotel, review critical information like cancellation policies, make bookings, and manage bookings. Sounds pretty awesome, right? Well, it would be if it was easy to use. Imagine a DOS-like interface with procedures and protocols that you can't Google or find anywhere online. If you make a mistake, you could be liable for thousands of dollars. Feel the anxiety building? The power of GDS comes with a ton of liability, and the commands are not intuitive. Most agents need to be thoroughly trained by their host agency before the host will give them access. If you use one wrong command, boom, you can make a $10,000 error. GDS training is so intense that most hosts don't offer it to everyone, only their top agents, and some don't offer it at all. What's worse is that each host agency has its own set-up, so learning it with one agency might not translate properly to the next. Ready to join our team? Our agency might just change your life. We will give you a new skill, new community and new way to earn serious income. Go ahead and apply and know within 48 hours whether you've made the cut. Remember, no travel agent experience required. Apply Now Where is this? Cap Juluca, a Belmond Hotel, Anguilla. What does GDS not do? GDS does not pull in wholesale rates, which are critical when securing the best value for your clients. Even if an agent mastered GDS, they would still need to log into various portals to get a better idea of the pricing landscape for a property. GDS connectors are not mobile-friendly or Mac-friendly. You would need to use a remote desktop on a Mac or access your GDS system from a PC. This means agents need to carry around laptops if they want the power of GDS on the go. There isn't a built-in knowledgebase or online forum that you can turn to. Users don't have a friendly demo or training they can take. The learning curve is steep; another human will usually need to teach you individually. There aren't convenient search features in GDS, i.e., searching a hotel list (like we have in FastBook). You will generally need to search by Sabre GDS code, hotel name, or destination. There are no convenient filters to determine which rate makes the most sense quickly. Where is this? Jimburan Puri, a Belmond Hotel, Bali Where is this? Casa de Sierra Nevada, a Belmond Hotel, San Miguelle de Allende, Mexico Our Agents Get GDS Access Without the Drawbacks Our agent booking tool, FastBook, pulls Sabre GDS rates, along with all other available rates from wholesalers and other sources. Our interface is clean and intuitive, so there are no difficult commands to learn, and our system is accessible from mobile devices and both Mac and PC. The bottom line is that if you want to harness the full force of GDS, we have the most powerful, easy-to-use, and mobile-friendly tool on the market. Only LuxRally Travel agents have access to our tech, and it's completely free, with no subscriptions or sign-up fees. Everything you need to know about GDS. Last Updated: 01/17/2025
