Our
model is different than that of any travel service in the industry
today! We are unique in that our primary function is to bring
consumers together with the Home Based Travel Agent affiliate
that most closely matches, and can therefore best service, by
expertise and geographical proximity, the request of the consumer.
And to provide that qualified lead to HBTA affiliated travel
agents EXCLUSIVELY!
Our
research has shown that consumers are FOUR TO FIVE TIMES MORE
LIKELY to purchase from a home based agent located in the same
general geographic area than from an agent outside that area.
We
will educate the consumer on why it is not only "okay" or "safe"
to purchase from a HBTA listed agent, but why home based travel
agents, in general, will provide them benefits that traditional
brick and mortar agents would be hard pressed to match.
Home
Based Travel Agent independent contractor affiliate/owners are
more experienced, can provide more time and attention to a customer's
needs, have considerably lower overhead resulting in very competitive
pricing with the mega agencies, and they are easily contacted
(they live at the office!) and, most importantly, they are the
boss!
By
providing the consumer with "experts" in the product, service,
destination or supplier they are inquiring about and by incorporating
geographic proximity to the consumer as a weighted criteria
for the perfect match, we are creating qualified leads that
have closing ratios far beyond that of traditional print, radio,
pay per click or pay per lead advertising. Home based travel
agents have found their "Home"!
We
also provide the consumer with travel information and offers
provided by our partner suppliers. All requests for booking
or further information by consumers are directed by email to
our registered HBTA agent affiliates.
As
more committed, qualified agents join our "Home",
it results in more exposure for our preferred suppliers, that,
in turn, means more deals for consumers, which develops into
more leads for agents, which…. means business!
HBTA
is self-driven. This means that you, the home based travel agent,
receive qualified leads, generated by the marketing efforts
put forth by HBTA.
We
have made it very affordable for suppliers to reach our entire
agent base AND our consumer base. But, we require that ALL business
generated from any advertising on our website be directed to
our affiliated home based travel agents!
HBTA
allows suppliers to show their support for you, the home based
travel agents, as a group - something they could never possibly
do on an individual basis!
