If you’re considering working with TourRadar, you might be wondering whether you should sign up as a travel agent or submit an application as an operator. Understanding the difference is important so you can choose the right path and get started smoothly.
Travel Agent: Selling Tours to Your Clients
Travel agents create an account to access TourRadar’s inventory and sell tours to their clients. You do not upload your own tours, your role is to help clients discover and book adventures through our platform.
Key points for travel agents:
- You can access a wide selection of tours from operators on TourRadar.
- Commissions are earned on bookings you make for your clients.
- You don’t manage tours, pricing, or availability—your focus is on selling.
If your goal is to offer experiences to your clients and earn commission, a travel agent account is the right choice.
Operator: Listing and Managing Your Own Tours
Operators are the companies or individuals who run tours and adventures. If you want to list your own tours on TourRadar, you need to submit an application as an operator.
Key points for operators:
- You control your tour listings, prices, and departure dates.
- You handle availability and updates on your own tours.
- You earn revenue directly from the tours booked by travellers through the platform.
Operators must meet certain requirements, such as offering multi-day tours, providing accurate tour details, and submitting the proper business documentation. Once you apply, our team will assess your account and will get approved or rejected. We get back to you only if your application is successful.
How to Decide
- Sign up as a travel agent if your business focuses on selling tours offered by others and earning commissions.
- Submit an operator application if you run your own tours and want to list them on TourRadar for direct bookings.
