VacationPort for Consortia — a true marketing tool for travel agencies to sell consortia preferred-supplier products on their web sites. VacationPort includes powerful web and email marketing tools for agents.

Consortia can offer custom versions of VacationPort to their members to help sell preferred supplier products and implement consortia marketing programs. The VacationPort system is easily integrated into travel agency web sites, and includes thousands of travel offers from leading tour operators, wholesalers, cruise lines, rail and more. VacationPort also incorporates electronic marketing tools for agents to proactively promote travel products from their preferred suppliers on their web site and through email campaigns.

The VacationPort approach centers around the difference between shopping and booking; two very different consumer tasks. VacationPort is the travel shopping system that helps consumers shop and research travel offers, and helps the agency market their products in a variety of ways. The agency can specify the appropriate consumer call-to-action, driving the consumer directly to an agent for booking, or directly to an online booking engine to check availability and book.  

Site Administration

VacationPort can be incorporated into any web site in a variety of ways to promote vacations. The agency web site administrator controls the various features of VacationPort through site administration. VacationPort is highly configurable, including the selection, addition, and preferencing of suppliers.

The Agency Feature Page

The feature page for agency web sites offers consumers the ability to search for vacation specials by category or with a detailed search. Agencies can add custom links to the search page. A variety of other links can be created and placed on agency web sites. For example, links can feature groups of offers, offers centered around travel destinations, mixtures of cruise and tour offers in a single link, etc. VacationPort is flexible, letting the agency determine the products and destinations they wish to feature on their web site.
