Some.of the many things we provide for you! For more information on becoming an agent just pm me!
ATB Travel
The host agency that provides so much more for less money!!
Did you know? As an active member with American Travel Bureau and your BP paid up-to-date, you have unlimited access to famrates.com that is included in your $ 27.00 per month platform fee. One of the many benefits that American Travel Bureau offers our Independent Travel Agents (ITAs).
Also --- Did You Know??
That ATB pays out more than $ 20,000.00 per year for your insurance and attorney fees plus much much more to protect you and your business.
As an active member with American Travel Bureau, you receive:
· Errors and Omission Insurance - $1,000,000 per occurrence and $50,000 Fire Liability per occurrence, plus many other coverages as well! This is a savings of more than $500 per year for each ITA.
ATB also has additional coverage for Acts of Terrorism not provided by your E & O Insurance. This special insurance is part of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act. Does your host even know about this law??
· Full benefits from Ensemble Travel Group, one of the largest consortia in the travel industry. A savings of more than $ 2,500.00 per year! I will provide numerous examples what you can provide your clients because of your membership.
· A booking engine for all cruise lines and all river cruises in one booking engine with all the Ensemble Amenities included in the booking process. No research required. One of the only host agencies that provides this service.
· 75% of UN-CAPPED commissions received from the vendor at no additional monthly fees. Example: READ THIS CAREFULLY - If an ITA books a cruise, we average about 15 to16% commission with most of them. That means that you receive 12% commission – PLUS 100% of all bonuses and 100% for all Tour Conductor Credits. PLUS ATB pays up to a 5% override on our mentor program for agents you mentor. We are the ONLY host that does!!
So…..
If you went on your own and wanted to start your own agency with a CLIA or a TRUE number, there are a few things you should know! You must pay annual fees for both, you must register as a seller of travel for every state; you must purchase E & O insurance (ATB handles many law suits for our agents that we do without getting you involved). The cheapest E & O will cost you more than $ 500, since the cheapest requires you to belong to some outside sales organization – not so with ATB. You will also need a CRM program for tracking your activities, but that is only $ 299.00 per month. So, you can earn 12% versus 10%, you can pay $ 27.00 per month versus at least $ 500 per month. You can have full access to the top travel professionals – or depend on yourself and few friends. Your decision will be very easy -- Welcome aboard!!
Also – if you are on your own, you have no representation at the ASTA National Level, and ATB is a Premium member of ASTA. A savings of more than $ 2,000 per year. The Vice President for ATB is also on the Board of Directors for ASTA – representing you!
· Remember, our Mentor program pays up to a 5% bonus override from Gross Commissions earned from those agents in your mentor program. No other host agency offers this.
· Unfettered access to all CLIA programs and membership ID at significantly reduced rates! A savings of more than $ 300 per year.
· American Travel Bureau is a Premium ASTA member and as such every ITA can has full ASTA benefits and you can become an affiliate for only $100 per year.
· A $75.00 referral bonus for all Independent Agents you refer to American Travel Bureau! ONLY ATB offers this.
· A consumer website for all ITAs that anyone from the general public can access and book their travel and commissions are tracked back to you at no additional cost.
· A “Member’s Only” back-end website that is set up for each ITA that allows full access to our very own booking engines, Ensemble Access, and all bookings made by each ITA that provides each ITA a complete CRM at no additional Cost to the ITA. You can see every commission earned and complete information all bookings. Your site also includes thousands of pages of reference material for any topic you may need help with booking for your clients.
