Travel Agents Earn Top Commissions with Flo Tours New Online Booking Site

Lake Mary, FL – June 3, 2015 - Travel agents are now earning commissions starting at 15% up to 20% by booking tours and packages online with Flo Tours. Flo Tours, a tour operator offering packages to Turkey, Greece, Israel, Jordan, and Egypt for more than 20 years, has unveiled a new booking engine that enables travel agents to complete a booking online within a few minutes.

Cengiz Aras, president and CEO of Flo Tours, held a special webinar attended by over 1500 agents to introduce the new booking system. “The response has been overwhelming.” Aras said. “Agents are so happy with the options available to them and how easy it is to complete a booking. They can book group tours with guaranteed departures, FITs, and combination tours to more than one country. They will even have a beautiful itinerary to print or email to their clients. They are very excited about it.” He explained. (Agents are urged to contact Flo Tours if they are interested in attending future webinars.)

The site gives full details about all the tours and packages available and allows travel agents to quickly and easily complete their own bookings. Agents have continued access to all details of the booking and are able to revise, add and amend their client’s bookings at any time. The system allows online payment and immediate confirmation after the booking is completed. Another excellent feature of the system is the ability for agents to track their bookings as well as their commissions online.

This is the company’s first online booking system. The software has been more than three years in development. Mounted on the Flo Tours website www.flotours.com/agent the engine allows travel agents to register, log-in and start booking!

Aras states that the new booking system is already attracting more travel agents to Flo Tours. “We work with travel agents on about 60 percent of our bookings, and 40 percent with consumers,” he said. “We would like to work 100 percent with travel agents because they are professionals who know the quality of our tours which is what their clients want. It’s easier to work with them.”

To attract travel agents and keep them, Flo Tours offers exceptionally good commissions. Travel agents’ commissions for Flo Tours using the online booking engine start at 15 percent for bookings up to $10,000. Bookings of $10,000-$25,000 are commissioned at 17 percent. Bookings for more than $25,000 are commissioned at 20 percent.

Cengiz Aras started Flo Tours 26 years ago, leading small group tours in Turkey. When he launched the company, Aras was already an experienced tour guide with a Ph.D. in archaeology and a desire to share history and culture with travelers.

Flo Tours has since grown into a significant player in the booming Turkey travel market. But even more notable is the company’s expansion into 20 new countries, including some of the most remote and least-traveled destinations on the planet such as Mongolia, Central Asia (Silk Road), Caucasus and Iran, in addition to the more mainstream destinations of India, Vietnam, Cambodia, China and Thailand. Aras said, “The goal is to have all destinations available to book online within one year.”
