What Is Travel Distribution?

• The travel distribution system is an evolving
  creature, there are always new players,
  consolidations, new technologies and devices. So
  how do you as a tourism operator keep pace? The
  first step is to understand the landscape and who
  are the initial players in online travel
  distribution.
• However, large scale distribution remains a
  challenge, particularly for companies that sell
  multiple products, have contracts with multiple
  suppliers and work with hundreds and thousands of
  agents.

How Does The Travel Distribution System Work?

• The travel distribution system has customarily
  been very structured with clearly defined
  functions for single role in the chain. However,
  online technology and company mergers have
  transformed the tourism industry, with an
  increasing amount of crossover in the roles and
  functions of different sectors of the
  distribution system. Businesses are engaging a
  mix of distribution partners to ensure the most
  impressive way of reaching their target
  consumers.
• As this distribution system continues to evolve,
  it is essential to understand the structure of
  the companies that you work with and their
  relationships with other organizations. With the
  growth of the internet, many traditional travel
  distributors such as wholesalers and travel
  agents are taking an online approach as well as
  providing their services from a retail shop
  front. There has also been an develop in online
  travel agencies (OTAs) who operate solely in the
  online environment.
• Both online and traditional distribution partners
  have the opportunity to work with each other and
  directly with products and customers. Therefore,
  it is vital to understand each partners role and
  how your product can advantage from their part in
  the distribution network.

Why Work With Travel Distributors?

• Travel distributors allow you to develop your
  customer base far beyond the reach of your own
  limited marketing budget. They are essential to
  the inbound tourism industry as overseas
  consumers still rely heavily on the advice of
  local travel experts when planning and booking
  their holidays, particularly in long haul and
  emerging markets.
• Travel distributors can also offer market
  intelligence, insights and advice on a specific
  market. The travel distribution system covers all
  the channels through which an international
  traveller can buy your product. Other than
  approaching you directly, international
  travellers may book your product.

  book online using dynamic channel distribution
  methods. As the market is highly competitive and
  intuitive in response to the fares, consumers
  rely on comparing provides to get the best deals.
  Thus, there lies an incredible opportunity for
  travel agencies to provide attractive deals with
  a focus on consumer choices.
• The Travel distribution system covers all the
  channels through which travel is bought and sold.
  Distribution channels and consumer purchasing
  behavior varies from market to market and one
  requires understanding the structure of the
  distribution system specific to ones target
  markets.
• When considering how best to distribute your
  product to international consumers, it is
  necessary to understand each channel and the
  relationships between companies within the
  distribution channel. Suppliers and wholesalers
  with their own inventory of flights, hotels and
  other products rely heavily on b2b channels, as
  its difficult for them to physically serve end
  customers in various markets.
• The two main b2b channels for such companies are
  OTAs and independent local agents. In this post
  we will see at the role of the local agents in
  the distribution chain and how travel companies
  can use technology to get the most out of
  distributors.
