Land bookings account for just over half of KHM Travel Group’s bookings. Beach getaways, European adventures, and luxurious hotel stays are a few of the vacation options that top travelers’ lists.
In partnership with travel agents, tour operators make these experiences possible. A travel tour operator is a company or individual that plans, arranges, and sells travel packages that typically include transportation, accommodations, activities, and sometimes meals or guided tours.
Major travel brands like ALG Vacations, American Airlines Vacations, Collette, Delta Vacations, Globus family of brands, and Tauck love partnering with KHM Travel Group. And that love flows to our travel advisors too. Agents can tap into special perks like FAMs, events, and access to additional resources.
Our approach to supplier relationships has always been to connect suppliers to our independent travel agents as much as possible. Through our annual Destination Success event, we invite tour operators to share more about their products. A lively trade show, informative sessions, and small group dinners are just a few of the ways our agents get to know their Business Development Managers. We also promote personal relationship-building at our Crystal Conference. At Crystal, agents can spend an entire week with our supplier partners. It allows for plenty of time to chat with a variety of land supplier brands!
