What is The World Travel Directory?
It was designed and built as a 24/7 digital rolodex and training platform for Travel Advisors — a one-stop resource where they can quickly access supplier and sales rep contact information, as well as your company’s training and marketing materials.
By being listed, you make it easier for Travel Advisors to find, connect with, and engage directly with you and your brand.
Why should I join The World Travel Directory?
Because it’s the easiest and most effective way to get your brand in front of thousands of active Travel Advisors who are looking for trusted suppliers and sales reps to work with.
The World Travel Directory was built specifically for Travel Supplier Sales Representatives who want to increase visibility, grow their professional network, and drive more bookings through stronger advisor relationships.
Your membership helps Travel Advisors quickly find you, learn about your product, and connect directly — giving you a clear edge over competitors who aren’t listed.
You’ll also gain a centralized platform to showcase your training and marketing materials, video links, FAM opportunities, and special offers — all in one place where Travel Advisors are searching for supplier partners every day.
Will I receive Travel Advisor leads from this directory?
No. The beauty of The World Travel Directory is that you don’t have to rely on us to send you Travel Advisor leads — you already have them! You’ve built those valuable lists over time, often at great cost through trade shows, conferences, and events.
The directory is designed to help you re-engage, educate, and strengthen relationships with those existing Travel Advisors — transforming inactive or low-producing contacts into motivated, loyal partners — all while continuing your regular daily business priorities.
What does it cost to have my own Sales Rep Listing in The World Travel Directory?
It’s fast, easy, and affordable to get started — and you can be visible to thousands of Travel Advisors in just minutes. For less than taking just ONE - to dinner!

What if the company I represent is already listed?
That’s great news — it means your company is already visible to Travel Advisors! If you won’t be the one to maintain your Company’s listing, then all you need to do is choose your Sales Rep Membership Plan and “link” your profile to the existing listing during sign-up.
This instantly connects you to your company’s page, making it easier for Travel Advisors to contact you directly — not just the main office — and start building stronger relationships with the person behind the brand, YOU.
Can I create a new listing for the travel supplier I represent?
Absolutely! If your supplier isn’t already listed in The World Travel Directory, you can take the lead and create their Free Supplier Listing — putting both you and your brand in front of thousands of Travel Advisors right away.
Either a company representative can create the free listing, or you as the Sales Rep can do it yourself to get started faster. Then, simply choose your Sales Rep Membership Plan and “link” your profile to the new Supplier Listing during sign-up.
If a company contact would like to join later on and take ownership, please get in touch with us and we will take care of transferring the ownership.

Do I need to claim or verify my company’s existing listing before creating my own Sales Rep Listing?
No — you can get started right away! There’s no need to verify/claim your company’s listing unless you’re the person who will maintain it. The company representative can easily complete that step later.
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.
During the Sales Rep Membership sign-up process, simply “link” your profile to your company’s existing Supplier Listing. You’ll be able to select your company name and region, making it easy for Travel Advisors to find you directly when they’re looking for the right contact in their area.
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?
Yes — and that flexibility is one of the advantages of The World Travel Directory. Each Sales Rep can choose the Membership Plan that best matches their personal goals, marketing style, and desired level of visibility with Travel Advisors.
Whether you’re focused on expanding your reach or strengthening relationships in a specific territory, there’s a plan designed to fit your needs and budget.
Can Travel Advisors browsing the directory view my Sales Rep Listing?
Absolutely! The World Travel Directory is designed to maximize your visibility within the Travel Advisor community.

It’s your opportunity to be found, recognized, and remembered by Travel Advisors actively looking for trusted supplier partners like you.
