TORONTO — The Travel Agent Next Door is now able to confirm the next list of its suppliers who have signed agreements with the travel company.

“We are very proud of this additional group of suppliers who want to work with The Travel Agent Next Door,” said Flemming Friisdahl, Founder. “It is gratifying that suppliers have been so supportive of our strategy and are putting their faith in our concept.”

In addition to the previously announced group of suppliers, as well as this group of preferred and approved suppliers, Friisdahl said that agents also have access to many additional suppliers through the TRAVELSAVERS affiliation and the Affluent Traveler Collection.

Here are the additional preferred and approved suppliers being announced now:

Royal Caribbean Cruises, Celebrity Cruises, Silversea Cruises, Oceania Cruises, Regent Cruises, WestJet Vacations, Sunquest, Manulife Insurance, Globus, G Adventures, GOGO Vacations, Intair and Avalon Waterways.

Friisdahl reiterated the company’s strategy to incentivize its agents to support preferred and approved suppliers. “Our agents are financially motivated, as well as trained, to focus on our preferred and approved suppliers but, of course they still have the ability to sell all suppliers,” he said.

The Travel Agent Next Door was created to fully support the retail travel industry, specializing in the home based travel agent, medium to small size agencies, and agencies that would like to start their own home based business.

Through an affiliation with TRAVELSAVERS and the Affluent Traveler Collection, The Travel Agent Next Door has access to a broad range of programs, in addition to its own features. The company has a head office in downtown Toronto and a branch office in Vancouver, with BCCP, ACTA, TICO, CLIA and IATA designations.
