Select travel agents can book your products via the TravelHerd Travel Agent Portal.
Travel agents have moved toward becoming destination and category specialists (think Africa, honeymoons, pilgrimages and more); indeed many have become as knowledgeable in their areas of expertise as the tour operators themselves. The TravelHerd Travel Agent Portal 
allows tour operators to invite select travel agents, on an individual agent basis, to book your tours and specials for their clients, by themselves without the direct involvement of your staff. Travel agents logged-in to the secure TravelHerd Travel Agent Portal will also have access to additional functionality. Here’s how it works:
- Authorize select travel agents on an individual basis and invite them to log-in with their email address and create their own password to access the secure TravelHerd Travel Agent Portal
- After logging-in, travel agents are presented with a display of featured promotions and news on the portal’s home page along with a menu of actions available to them including the following:
