Trafalgar has introduced new service upgrades for travel advisors to streamline the group booking process. The initiative provides enhanced support and marketing resources to agents organizing trips across its global land, river, and rail network.
Why it matters
The changes arrive as the travel industry prepares for significant expansion, with the global group travel market projected to nearly double in value by 2033. Improving advisor efficiency is a key strategy for capturing this growing demand.
Group perks are available for a minimum of nine full-paying adults, with a required deposit of AU$500 or NZ$500. Groups of nine to 14 receive a five percent discount, while those with 15 or more adults qualify for bonus commission.
