DTH Travel has taken a significant step in supporting travel agents by launching its first series of selling guides tailored for Asian destinations. These guides are designed to equip agents with essential knowledge and insights into the diverse cultures and practices found in Asia. They encompass twelve countries including Thailand, Malaysia, and Japan among others, ensuring a comprehensive overview for agents.
The guides are not merely informative but are crafted with the intent of empowering agents to manage the complexities of selling multi-centre itineraries in the region. Given the increasing popularity of slow travel and longer, more immersive trips, the provision of such detailed information is critical. Meggie Valdes, group marketing director, emphasises the importance of arming agents with practical and easily digestible information to maintain their expertise.
Another key component of these guides is their focus on cultural nuances, offering top FAQs and insider knowledge from DTH’s expert team. This focus is crucial for agents to provide informed and bespoke travel experiences to their clients, ensuring travellers appreciate and respect local cultures. Stephan Roemer, CEO of DTH Travel, notes that their team’s passion for exploration and community ties enhances their ability to develop innovative tour experiences.
The launch of these guides reflects DTH Travel’s ongoing success and strategic focus on agent support, as evidenced by their impressive sales results for the year, having met their 2023 sales figure by September 2024. This achievement not only demonstrates DTH Travel’s strong market presence but also its commitment to fostering knowledgeable and skilled trade partners. Furthermore, they provide customised consulting and training solutions, underscoring their dedication to addressing the unique needs of their partners.
DTH Travel’s initiative marks a pivotal development in enhancing travel agents’ capabilities, reinforcing their role as experts in Asia’s dynamic travel market.
