Enhanced TravelforAgents.com Helps Home Based Agents Compete by Using ‘High Tech, High Touch’ Online Services

(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED STATES - March 12th, 2015 - With Expedia’s recent purchase of Travelocity and Orbitz Worldwide, the travel world is becoming increasingly dominated by global brands, says industry veteran Vian Andrews, Founder and CEO of TravelforAgents.com, the pioneering platform that provides home based agents and small agencies with lead generating tools and comprehensive new streams of income.  It also provides unprecedented buying clout through its global network of DMC’s, tour operators, and other travel and hospitality service providers and support services that are unique to TravelforAgents.com.

Andrews noted that multi-billion dollar companies like Expedia, which already owns TripAdvisor, CheapTickets, Hotels.com and other dominant brands, are spending millions of dollars to attract travelers, making it increasingly difficult for the home based agents to compete and survive.

“I’m a champion of home based agents and the small agencies, and I’m committed to helping them compete against these global brands,” said Andrews. “TravelforAgents.com levels the playing field, offering all the back office tools – including the best travel management system on the Internet – that savvy home-based agents need to run a successfully business. It features commission levels that really reward agents for their work. A help desk is also available – manned by live representatives – that help agents maximize their revenue opportunities. Best of all, it’s free to join! And agents are joining a community of over 7,000 members that have already registered, with more joining every day!”

TravelforAgent.com members also have instant access to the new generation of tech savvy consumers that are using social media through the company’s unique Tripnut.com travel community. As part of Andrews’ “human touch” philosophy, every TripNut.com user has access to TravelforAgents.com members through the site’s “Agent On Call” program.
