About The World Travel Directory
We began in a parking lot, no seriously! – the “moving parking lot” we call the freeway we spend so much time on!
Over the many years working as Travel Supplier Sales Reps, we’ve spent a lot of time sitting in traffic for hours of the day and night, crossing cities to get from one client account to the next. Oftentimes, we’re sitting idly in “parking lot” traffic, wondering how to duplicate ourselves and our materials in order to get to all the thousands of accounts in our particular territory. Armed with brochures, flyers and multi-media presentations, we brainstormed for a better way to support our existing account relationships and to introduce ourselves to the 80% of accounts that don’t do business with us…. But there are only so many hours in a day, and well, we have to sleep, too. Thus, The World Travel Directory was born!
World Travel Suppliers are plentiful, providing a wide variety of choices for travelers. Often Travel Advisors are requested by their clients to book with a specific Supplier or a Destination they are not familiar with, and they need a resource to quickly educate themselves and to contact their designated Sales Rep. We are building our directory by providing every Travel Supplier with a FREE Limited Basic Listing. By listing your profile in The World Travel Directory, Suppliers are legitimized with the company’s contact information and a website link. A fully upgraded listing further allows you to enhance your profile with a sales contact, product and video links, flier PDF’s, banner ads, and monthly features.

Mission Statement
Our Mission at The World Travel Directory is to unite Travel Industry professionals with the Travel Advisor Community through connection, product awareness and education – all in one place. As a one-stop 24/7 Directory for Travel Advisors, we aspire to become a forum for continued growth for Travel Suppliers, Supplier Sales Reps, and the Travel Advisor Community.
Travel Suppliers and Supplier Sales Reps are able to upload and maintain their profiles with their current corporate sales and product information in order to stay connected to the travel community. Travel Supplier Sales Reps have the added opportunity to build relationships with new Travel Advisors in their respective territories, and to provide them with the most updated product training materials, special promotions and FAMS and personalized service for ease of partnering with them. Ultimately, the convenient and round-the-clock-accessibility of The World Travel Directory provides Travel Advisors – and eventually the Traveling Consumer – the opportunity to expand their product awareness and educate themselves and their clients on available Travel Suppliers for any destination in the world. Our goal is to become the ultimate Travel Supplier and Sales Rep Directory in the world.
