Do you allow GDS access or is this simply an OTA with an additional kick back as commision? The reason I ask is that you're saying we get to be Travel Agents but from my experience there's a lot more travel agents do beyond booking a trip.
@scottloader Thanks Scott, we have fully integrated API’s from mayor bed banks, but don’t give access to a GDS (Global Distribution System). Working with a GDS is complicated and requires training. What we built instead is very intuitive, plug and play, because it has the same user interface as mayor OTA’s. Yet, it allows you to recommend and share trips with others and earn a commission. It enables you to tailor make a trip for somebody, based on their wishes and budget. In addition, you can set up your own travel booking website.

Yay! More freedom to travelers. Love the idea with commissions and parallels with Airbnb! Congrats on the hunt @jochemwijnands and the rest of the team! Good luck with the launch!
I am curious how do you guys handle flights and complex multi-city itineraries?
Maybe our Flystein experts could help and we could find a way to collaborate on human-powered search?
Good luck with a project!
