Technology

Major Travel first launched a flight booking engine for agents in 1999. At the time this was ground breaking and revolutionary. Major Travel set the trend and every other travel company followed. 2018 is going to be another revolutionary year for technology in travel as we get ready to launch our new Major4Agents booking platform.

We promise there is nothing anywhere near as good!

You can book a flight, a hotel and a single centre package holiday on most tour operator websites using your agent login. But what about more complex, tailor made itineraries? The rise and success of Audley Travel, Scott Dunn, Trailfinders and others in that market segment do so well because they can quickly check availability, price and book complex multi-centre tailor-made holiday itineraries for their customers.

They have been stealing business from travel agents because they can respond to a client quickly and efficiently. And they make such a phenomenal profit because on complex holiday itineraries, the typical commission can be as high as 30%!!!! We decided it was time that someone gave travel agents the tools to be able to effectively complete against these direct sell operators.
