We Value Our Tour Operator Partners
TAP began in 2001 with a simple vision – to join forces with quality Tour Operators who each offered their own area of geographical expertise, aiming to fill more scheduled departures, reduce cancellations and expand product portfolios.
As a company, TAP seeks like-minded North American Tour Operators with global reach who will enhance the corporation through product, location and services. TAP, a limited liability corporation, distinguishes itself from associations and organizations by collaborating with reputable and strategic-thinking travel professionals, while focusing on their return on investment.
By purchasing product from TAP Partners, each Tour Operator can spend more time
generating new customers and less time on product development.
Why Join TAP?
From lower costs to more diverse offerings, here’s what makes becoming a TAP Partner so valuable for tour operators:
Wider Audience
TAP’s industry-wide partnership includes tour operators, travel buyers (travel agents and group leaders) and suppliers (hotels, attractions, methods of transportation and destinations). This network of travel professionals is behind the concept of increasing profits by working together through TAP.
Each Tour Operator Partner has full access to trusted travel professionals who focus on respect and buying from each other. Preferred Professional Travel Providers (PPTPs, TAP’s elite suppliers) have access to the TAP network of tour operators and help create dynamic tour packages for the travel buyer. TAP Partners utilize PPTPs to support and move market share for those that support TAP. Travel buyers offer these dynamic tour packages to their clients, giving them a wide range of quality product while increasing sales for TAP Partners.
Lower Costs and Increased Profits
Experience lower operational costs and reduced rates due to our corporate high-volume buying power. Partners will also see increased profits through product placement on tapintotravel.com and the opportunity to secure even more bookings by embedding TAP tours directly onto your website. Instead of being a company all on your own, you’ll have dozens of team members working with you. A generous commission is given for all sales of Partners’ tours.
Partners also see increased sales through TAP’s Preferred Travel Buyers. These sellers of travel located throughout North America, tap into TAP tours to offer the best in global travel products to their clients. Buyers are invited to Partner-led weekly educational webinars on TAP products and industry trends. Travel Buyers are eligible to receive commission if they have sales as a result of featuring embedded TAP tours on their website.
Valuable Peer Network
Participate in Partner to Partner networking opportunities and learn from industry peers. As specialists in many areas, TAP Partners share ideas and best practices without the threat of competition.
Diverse Offerings
Becoming a TAP Partner instantly broadens your tour offerings without adding the extra resources to develop new products. Your clients will be pleased with tour packages that have a unique niche or destination not currently available in your product offerings. You will also be able to offer a wide array of Guaranteed Departure tours. TAP Partners trust that their clients will enjoy the travel experience as though it were their own tour and do not have to worry about losing a client to a competitor.
