Multiple streams from every holiday booking: Earn more than one commission when clients travel with tour operators!

HEBERI is a new online platform for travel agents who send clients to tour operators. It helps you increase your earnings on the package holidays you already sell – without changing the client’s itinerary or experience.

Why it matters for agents?
We believe the contribution of booking agents is still underestimated. You deserve stronger, more transparent recognition for the value you create.
With HEBERI, you can realistically double or even triple your income on clients who travel with tour operators for holidays.

Your role in the holiday ecosystem:
The holiday industry continues to grow worldwide. People want to travel, and today it is easier than ever.
Hundreds of airlines and countless routes make even once-difficult destinations simple to reach. Both inbound and outbound tourism are now essential for national economies.
Within this system, tour operators play a central role. They design packages that combine flights, ground transportation, assitance and accommodation into one product that fits the budget and expectations of an average family.
To enhance the experience, they also organise optional activities and excursions at the destination for clients.
Tour operators, however, cannot work alone. Three pillars of the holiday industry are just as critical: tour operators, hotels and client-supplying agents.

-Hotels host the guest throughout the stay and shape the on-site experience – rooms, meals, pools, beaches and other services.
-Client-supplying agents – Booking agents – who meet clients face-to-face, help them choose destinations and hotels, and directly influence which products are booked.
Your operators – Those are organizers. They combine air and ground travel, hotels, local services, guiding, etc., in one package. They do a very valuable job for holidaymakers. In most cases, they exaggerate their power. They are gatekeepers for booking agents earnings and roadblocks for hotels marketings.

In many cases, booking agent`s recommendation is the deciding factor in both destination and hotel selection, even the tour operator to travel with. This is why major tourism fairs exist: to connect booking agents and service providers in a very focused way.

Two more income streams with HEBERI:

Competition between Hotels:
Every holiday booking requires a hotel, and hotels compete intensely for the same guests. As an agent, you already receive a commission from the tour operator for each reservation, while several hotels often match your client’s criteria.

-With HEBERI, hotels can offer extra commission from their side directly to you for your recommendation, on top of the tour operator’s payment, for the same booking.
-​Imagine, five hotels fit the client’s needs and one offers an extra USD 20 per person to you via HEBERI, you see that offer in advance and decide accordingly – always keeping client suitability first.

Income through excursion bookings:
At most destinations, tour operators run optional activities – boat trips, diving, city tours, religious, historical or archaeological visits, safaris and more.

Clients frequently join several of these during their stay, yet the booking commission often goes to hotel staff,  guides or local sellers.

Traditionally, many tour operators reserve the right to sell these excursions for their guides at the destination and restrict booking agents in the client`s home country from selling them in advance.
In practice, even though you are finding clients and sending them to those destinations, even though you are filling the same tour operator`s charter flights, the excursions booking commission goes elsewhere, you are banned by the same tour operator from gaining it, most of the times sometimes goes to unregulated local organisers.

Here is the HEBERI solution:
If tour operators register their official excursions on HEBERI, you can pre-book these activities for your clients before departure, earn the associated commission on excursions and keep the booking in an official, secured channels.

Clients and operators still win!

1.Clients continue to travel with a tour operator, staying in suitable hotels and joining official, insured excursions.
2.Tour operators keep their existing structure while gaining better control over excursions and safer, more satisfied customers.
3.You remain the client’s trusted advisor, while HEBERI ensures your influence is reflected in your income – fairly, clearly and within the existing tour operator framework.
 

What if tour operators reject registering their local excursions for you to book?
Let's be realistic. Most tour operators keep local excursion booking for their guides only. They dont allow agents in clients home country to benefit this juicy part. And many clients don’t stick to the tour operator’s excursions because mostly they are expensive. They choose cheaper, more local options they find on site or online – often without you. In such a case, here is what you should do:

-Keep earning even when operators refuse – invite reliable local excursion providers to register their offers on HEBERI so you still earn commission.
-Protect your clients – guide them toward reliable excursions instead of unregulated “pirate” offers.
-Support local partners – registration on HEBERI is free and gives them extra marketing reach beyond their usual coverage.

Next step: Make a short list of trusted local organizers in your key destinations and ask them to register their excursions on HEBERI and let them know that for your client`s bookings. They will be delighted to register their offers.  Agents, clients, and local providers all benefit when more of these partners join.

Is HEBERI increasing booking agents' earnings only?
No. Another winner of HEBERI is hotels at holiday destinations. With HEBERI, you are no longer locked behind a tour operator barrier. Instead of depending entirely on a tour operator and its agent network to find tourists from the German market, you gain direct, nationwide access to the booking agents and ask them to recommend and sell your rooms. You clarify the authorized tour operator in the German market.
In the old model, the tour operator controls your visibility, your message. You invest in marketing, but clients still contact the tour operator, and you never know what is really being said about your hotel or which other properties you are being compared with.
With HEBERI, you speak for yourself. From one platform, you can send ready-made advertisements 24/7 directly to booking agents, explain your strengths in your own words, and keep your marketing consistent across the country. The result is more qualified bookings from partners who truly understand your hotel.
