Advantage Travel Partnership supports independent travel businesses through membership models for leisure travel, business travel and managed services. Its offer brings together supplier relationships and business support. These are different operating options within the same partnership, rather than separate trade associations.

Start with your operating model

Ask which membership option fits the work you want to keep in house. Take a sample booking, payment and refund through the proposed process. This gives you a useful comparison of day-to-day responsibilities, rather than a decision based only on a supplier commission headline.

Put the commercial details together

Request one written schedule covering membership fees, payment costs, included services and exit arrangements. Compare the total with your expected booking mix. Keep the assumptions beside the figures so a change in sales volume does not quietly turn an attractive proposal into an unsuitable one.
