Let's address what many in the industry are noticing. Whilst traditional suppliers focus on direct bookings, successful travel agents are building sustainable businesses through B2B aggregators. The data tells a compelling story and so does the strategy.

Here's what distinguishes growing agencies from those maintaining the status quo:

Pricing That Creates Competitive Advantage

We're talking about rates 15-30% below direct bookings. How? Volume negotiations that individual agents rarely achieve alone. Add cashback programmes on top and you're looking at margins that can transform your business model.

The 2-Million-Property Arsenal

One search. Multiple suppliers. Best price wins. Streamline your workflow by consolidating multiple platforms into one efficient system.

Payment Flexibility as Standard

Ever lost a potential booking because you couldn't accept a client's preferred payment method? Modern platforms solve this. From cryptocurrency to local banking - if clients can pay it, you can accept it.

Professional Tools Without the Investment

Custom B2C website. Rate comparison engines. Booking modules. Marketing materials. The tech stack that traditionally required significant investment is now accessible to agencies of all sizes.

Support When You Need It Most

24/7 support isn't a luxury - it's essential for international sales. When booking issues arise, having expert assistance readily available makes all the difference.

Transparency That Builds Client Trust

Extended payment terms on non-refundable rates. Clear cancellation policies. No hidden fees. This isn't just convenience - it's how you build long-term client relationships.

One Licence, Five Continents

Europe. Asia. Americas. Full compliance across markets. Scale internationally without the typical administrative complexity.

The reality? The gap between agencies using modern booking technology and those relying solely on traditional methods continues to widen.

Unit.Travel currently supports over 6,000 agencies with this model. They've found a system that works for their business goals.
