Expedia Group is aiming to provide an ever-increasing supply of accommodations and flexible rates to enable travel agencies to take advantage of increasing domestic demand. Which is why they’ve launched the Expedia TAAP incentive program for both new and existing agents.
Under this scheme, new sign-ups to Expedia TAAP (Travel Agent Affiliate Program), as well as existing partners that haven’t used the tool for 12 months or more, will receive a fast-track membership to silver tier*, an upgrade from the usual ‘standard tier’ for new joiners. New agencies also receive an additional 1% compensation boost on all stayed lodging bookings**. This means new joiners can earn up to 42% more than they would usually. Silver tier also unlocks package rates so travel agents can offer an average 20% discount on accommodation bookings when combined with a transport component that’s already been booked.
This is the largest and longest promotion Expedia TAAP has ever run in Canada and aims to get more money into agents’ pockets faster.
