The ability to use a range of travel and cruise suppliers is imperative to many travel businesses. However, most travel support solutions will only allow you to sell their linked suppliers. The freedom and ability to choose which suppliers you build relationships with is underappreciated by consortia, but desperately needed by travel businesses.

Freedom with travel and cruise suppliers gives you complete control over your packages and can be the turning point for many. For cruise sellers especially finding the perfect suppliers for you is vital. This is what will allow your travel business to become your dream business.

If you customer has very specific cruise requirements in mind, not having access to the right supplier to secure that booking for them could be devastating. With cruise bookings alone being so profitable, you could be losing a lot of money and a potentially loyal customer by being restricted in which cruise suppliers you can work with.

Tour operators tend to have a vision and specialise in niche markets. With this in mind, it is no surprise that being able to add your own local suppliers to your own private software system is of utmost importance.

Supplier Freedom? PTS Has You Covered

That is why, at PTS, we allow every single one of our members the freedom to whatever suppliers they want. Though we do provide special deals and relationships with some travel suppliers we have partnered with, these are not required. Plus, the PTS software system makes it incredibly easy to add your own suppliers to bookings and pay them efficiently.

You deserve to run exactly the business you love and do so without sacrificing, and it’s never been easier to do just that with PTS.

How The PTS Travel Software Solution Works

The PTS system gives you access to a plethora of suppliers around the globe. Any PTS member has access to our database of suppliers with preferential rates if you were to want to book more generic trips for the general traveller.

Having easy access to all the PTS API links allows you to have contingency plans at your fingertips. It also allows you to grow your business faster, as you have the ability to build new packages with a whole database of suppliers.

Alongside this, you can add your own suppliers. At PTS we do not want to inhibit you by just giving you set suppliers to work with. Our mission is to encourage tour operators to be as successful as possible and to work with you to support you.
