Things to remember
Although anyone can sign up, not every business might be suitable for this OTA as they pick their partners meticulously under the terms & conditions that they've set. Up next, we'll review a few of the things that you should know before clicking the "Apply Now" button:
- Multiple day group tours only: This online travel agency only works with professional tour operators running multi-day group tours with ready-to-book itineraries. Hence, not every type of tour operator can sign up. The odds of getting approved (or even getting considered) will rise if you meet these requirements.
- Careful selection process: One of the factors they take the most pride in is how they offer travelers the most excellent selection on destinations all over the world. With a strict screening process, they make sure of offering the best quality possible for each multi-day experience. After each tour, they also monitor customer satisfaction through reviews.
- Standard service fee payable per booking: The platform is completely free to use and tour operators will only pay a commission once a booking has been successful. After they confirm that your application has been approved, their dedicated team will guide you through commission details, invoicing, and more. TourRadar handles the entire payment process.
