  You can book directly through their Travel Agent portals. This includes hotels, packages, car rentals, cruises, tours, and more!

  These platforms allow you to book multiple brands in one place.

🔍 Visit our Travel Supplier Directory for access and registration instructions.

03. MAKE YOUR BOOKING, TRAVEL, AND EARN YOUR COMMI$$ION!

Once you’ve registered and have access to the supplier’s system:

• Book your travel through their official Travel Agent Portal only to ensure it is commissionable.

• After you book, log your trip through TESS or the Non-TESS Travel Form located on the ABC Travel website.

• After you complete your trip, your commission will be paid to you!

LOOKING FOR TRAVEL AGENT RATES?

Many suppliers offer special rates for Travel Advisors.

Example:
Sandals Resorts provides TA rates and a "Points to Paradise" program through their dedicated advisor portal.

You’ll find these travel agent rates listed on each supplier’s portal or by contacting your designated BDM.
