While international borders remain closed for Australians, with the exception of the first ‘bubble’ with New Zealand, local travel agents are getting a helping hand with the Livn for Travel Agents platform.
Although the platform from Sydney-based Livn has existed for some time, it has become a lifeline for a global network of over 4,000 agents, particularly during a surge in domestic bookings for Tours, Activities & Attractions in Australia and New Zealand.
Aleta Hunt,
Head of Partnerships at Livn said, “We
are constantly adding new products to the platform which is designed to be a
one-stop-shop for experiences, and we are thrilled here at Livn that we are
doing everything we can to support not only travel agents but also tour
operators as domestic and international travel gradually re-opens.”
From
brick-and-mortar travel agencies to home-based travel consultants, the Livn for
Travel Agents platform gives instant access to more than 35,000 global
products, as well as real-time rates and availability for operators to give the
best experience to travellers. Multiple products can be purchased in a single
booking and the platform instantly creates a booking confirmation and generates
e-vouchers.
The platform
is completely free to register with no monthly costs, and agents can earn up to
12% commission on every booking, allowing operators a partner they can trust
and rely on despite the challenges the Australian travel industry is facing.
MTA travel
agent and Livn user Kate Atkins says of the platform, “We all need security, flexible
booking conditions, and a wholesaler we can trust as we rebuild our travel
businesses due to COVID. Livn offers all this and more! Friendly and
approachable with a wealth of knowledge, an easy booking system with real-time
availability, and easily access your documents and vouchers without having to
wait hours on hold. Livn is now my go-to company for all touring options for my
valued clients.”
With travel
currently limited to Australia and New Zealand, it becomes vital for agents to
expand their reach and offer more products to their customers, and Livn makes this
easy and accessible. Access to reputable operators in the Livn platform including:
AAT Kings, Babylon Tours, Down Under Tours, Hobbiton Movie Set and Wayoutback
Australian Safari provide agents with a variety of products and allow them to
be more competitive.
