Launching new markets and expanding supply
Expedia TAAP US agents can now book Southwest Airlines flight, further enhancing its value. Agents can easily search, compare, and book flights with multiple connectivity sources, including GDS and direct airline connections. Bundled packages and other perks give travellers even more flexibility. Expedia TAAP expands its presence in UAE to support travel agents. This expansion is a reflection of the company’s dedication to providing Middle Eastern partners access to an extensive travel inventory, and unlocking revenue opportunities.
Maximum earnings and flexible payment options
Expedia TAAP introduced the agency fee at most points of sale to empower travel agents. This allows agents to charge a fee on top of their commission for lodging. This feature allows agents to be compensated for their expertise, in addition to the regular commission, when the booking is completed, without having to make a separate transaction.
Expedia TAAP offers deferred payment for travel agents since its inception. This allows them to book and pay later while managing their cash flow. In addition, the new enhancements offer agents even more control by allowing them to book accommodations up 365 days ahead of time and to change their itinerary post-booking.
Expedia TAAP accepts bank transfer payments in areas where it is popular. Expedia TAAP will continue to prioritize travel agents and agencies on Global Travel Adviser’s Day and beyond by investing consistently in improvements and providing ongoing support.
