Choose your set-up
Depending on the setup your host travel agency chooses, you'll need to follow a specific procedure. The different types are as follows:
- User access to main account: Your host needs to add you as a user to track bookings through their main account. Please contact them for assistance.
- Individual account setup: Sign up for your own account and manually fill out necessary details for payments directly to your host agency or, if preferred, to your own bank.
- Unique agent link setup: Your host agency would provide you with your own unique link to book from. Please contact them to receive it.
- General partner link: Your host agency would provide you with their partner link to book through. Please contact them for this information.
