Consortia, Booking Engines, and Supplier Portals

Below is a list of our current hotel and resort suppliers. You can book directly with these companies however you may find better rates when booking through a consortia like Vax Vacation Access or Pinsight (a Travel Leaders Network provider). 

Before you can begin selling or quoting any supplier, you must complete the supplier-provided training. 

What is a travel consortium?
