This new private label trade portal will be available directly and via Travel Agent University’s (TAU) active member community of over 50,000 certified members, the largest in the industry. Expected launch date for the Uniworld portal will be early 2017. The announcement was made today by Uniworld’s new President & CEO Ellen Bettridge at Virtuoso Travel Week. Uniworld’s unique portal will enable agents to participate in robust education, earn rewards, be privy to exclusive deals, as well as have access to valuable sales tools, webinars, videos, itineraries and other company assets to help increase their sales. “Partnering with Questex’s lauded Travel Agent University will allow us to deliver the most elite e-learning programming and resources directly to the agent,” said Bettridge. “This portal will give our travel agent partners a robust opportunity to immerse themselves in the Uniworld brand, and enable them to increase their revenue through knowledge.” Leading the industry, Uniworld offers itineraries in spectacular destinations throughout Europe, Russia, and Asia and has been highly recognised for its incredible service and product delivery.
