The Global Vision And How It Works
Global Travel International (GTI) is a travel agency with tens of thousands of Independent) Travel Agents. In fact, we have a huge international network of Agents throughout the world. Our Agents are all earning commissions by referring their friends, family and business associates to GTI's centralized Travel Reservation Center to book their travel requirements. We then share the commissions generated with our Agents.
GTI Has Truly Changed The Face Of The Travel Industry
In
the late 80s, the government issued several deregulation mandates that
opened the way for new creative marketing, and alternative methods of
distribution of travel products and services. In response to this
deregulation, GTI was founded in 1994 as a new kind of Travel Agency.
Our Travel Reservation Center is our Agent's office away from home. This
state-of-the-art facility is the multimillion-dollar tool that our Agents
use to book travel for themselves and their clients.
The GTI Travel Reservation Center -- Our Global Advantage In Service
And Technology
In 1997, we opened the GTI Travel Reservation Center. This call center provides our Agents and their clients with state-of-the-art technology to manage all aspects of travel, and is supported by partnerships with other leaders in telecommunications technology to manage and distribute information to our team of Agents.
Through direct access to airlines, hotels and car rental systems, GTI Agents and clients receive the lowest available rates. Unlike "traditional" travel agencies, the Travel Sales Representatives at GTI, use multiple sources, available to them, to identify the lowest fares and best travel values. These sources include special rates we have negotiated with preferred suppliers, consortiums, wholesalers and consolidators. Because of our huge travel sales volume, we are able to offer unbeatable fares, special rates and other travel values. We also negotiate a large number of special travel packages, especially groups. Our negotiated travel values are only available to our Agents and their clients.
Relax, Let Us Do The Work!
That's right, as a GTI Independent Travel Agent, our Representatives do all of the time-consuming work for you! At GTI, we have assembled a team of over 100 professional Travel Sales Representatives who can handle any travel reservation. Our Representatives have information at their fingertips for tens of thousands of travel destinations. Their only job is to help you and your clients plan and book any travel request at the
lowest available prices.
The Beauty Of The Program Lies In Its Simplicity
As a GTI Independent Travel Agent, all we ask you to do is call the Travel Reservation Center for all your travel needs. Simply work with our Travel Sales Representatives and let them take care of all the details to satisfy your travel request. Once that is accomplished, the ticketing agent completes all of the reservations, and issues the tickets, itineraries, and other any other pertinent travel documents.
We Want You To Refer Global Travel To Friends, Relatives,
And Business Associates
Our program is designed to let GTI do the "heavy lifting." We take care of all of the details, so you have more time to network and refer travel to GTI. You can even have your clients call GTI directly and you will still receive your commissions! Clients you refer to us just tell us your name and Agent PIN number, and they are your clients for the life of your membership.
