The Advantage Travel Partnership has onboarded a record number of agents to its AMS model in the last quarter.
Since July 1 2020,, seven new branches have signed up for the model, which is double the usual number of signups. Advantage has also seen an increase in recruitment enquiries since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the travel agent consortium is currently liaising with over 40 separate branches, ranging from start-ups to existing businesses.
Advantage has seen interest across all models, but its managed services model is receiving the most enquiries. Advantage Managed Service (AMS) offers agents value for money combined with the peace of mind vital to running a travel business, as all pipeline monies are protected in a trust account. All AMS members are supported by a dedicated finance contact, are not charged for technology or the service provides net rate merchant fees, with ATOL options and in class marketing support for members.
Kelly Cookes, leisure director at Advantage Travel Partnership, said, ?During these turbulent times, we believe that many businesses are assessing what they need to be able to move forwards. We are excited to have businesses like White Rose Travel choose us as a partner and we look forward to progressing other opportunities. We have seen a huge increase in recruitment enquiries, particularly in the last few months, which we hope is reflective of our support to members prior to, and throughout this pandemic.?
