Designed as a FREE, 24/7 digital rolodex and training hub for Travel Advisors, the platform makes it fast and easy for advisors to find, connect, and engage directly with you – their Sales Rep - and access your contact information, training assets, marketing materials, videos, FAM opportunities, special offers, and key updates whenever they need them.

How Does The Directory Help Sales Reps Grow Their Territory – More Efficiently and Efficiently?
The World Travel Directory supports revenue growth by maximizing the value of existing Travel Advisor relationships to re-engage underutilized advisor accounts, provide ongoing education, strengthen relationships and remain top-of-mind during booking decisions—turning inactive or low-producing contacts into motivated, loyal revenue-producing partners.
In addition, upgraded listings allow Sales Reps to attract new inbound advisors who are actively seeking supplier partners. This creates a scalable, low-cost, high-ROI alternative to traditional lead-generation activities while supporting long-term territory growth— without disrupting your regular daily sales efforts.
Will I Get A Return On My Investment?
YES! A World Travel Directory listing is a low-cost, high-impact sales and marketing tool and a high-ROI way to stay top-of-mind with active, inactive and NEW accounts in your territory. For less than the cost of one client meal, you can consistently share your personalized directory link with your Travel Advisor list—making it easier for Advisors to engage with YOU, refer business, and book your brand.
This predictable monthly expense supports ongoing advisor relationship building, product knowledge, brand awareness, and territory revenue growth while reducing reliance on higher-cost in-person sales activities.
What does it cost to have my own Sales Rep Listing?
Getting started is fast, easy, and highly affordable. For less than the cost of having a lunch-and-learn for two Travel Advisors — you gain ongoing visibility to thousands of Travel Advisors in just minutes.
Your listing works for you 24/7, helping streamline engagement, reinforce your value, and maximize return on investment across your territory.

Do I need to claim or verify my company’s existing listing before creating my own Sales Rep Listing?

To move forward, simply choose your Sales Rep Membership Plan and “link” your profile to your company’s existing listing during the sign-up process — even if it hasn’t yet been verified/claimed.
This lets you establish your presence and start connecting with Travel Advisors immediately.
Can multiple Supplier Sales Reps add their own listing under the same travel supplier?
Absolutely! Every Regional or Local Sales Rep can have their own individual listing — all connected to the same Supplier Listing.

This approach maximizes visibility for your brand and ensures every rep gets direct exposure to their target Travel Advisors.
Can regional sales reps from the same supplier choose different membership plans?
