Visit USA Travel Agency Partners

Visit USA has announced that it will launch its Travel Agent Partner programme this Autumn. All UK agents will be invited to join Visit USA as Partners to promote & focus on ‘Destination USA’– the UK’s favourite long haul holiday destination – by far!

What are the Benefits of being a Visit USA Partner?

Inclusion – free of charge - in very targeted marketing including:

• Travel Agent Partners will be listed alphabetically by town and county or city in a separate, standalone insert included in the 2009 edition of Visit USA Travel Planner - sent to consumers with a known interest in travel to the USA
• On the Visit USA website where Partners will be easily accessed under the heading of ‘Need a USA Travel Specialist’ and again listed alphabetically by town and county or city. The Visit USA website is a very well established and authoritative source of USA travel information for UK travellers and this year will achieve no less than 2.6 million hits & 85,000 site users

And it doesn’t stop there – Travel Planner and Website entries will be upgraded if any travel agency has a staff member having passed the Visit USA Training Programme at either Standard or Advanced level. Additionally, there are further options to upgrade entries - plus the inclusion of links to Partner’s company website.

Partners will receive E-bulletin updates on new USA travel products and services and window stickers and certificates will be issued recognising Partners and their commitment to destination USA. Additionally, Partners will be able to attend Visit USA events - as well as given fast track status for any USA familiarisation trips that VUSA organises.

"This really is a ‘win win’ situation all round!" said Peter Moss, Chairman of Visit USA. "Travel Agent Partners will get a real marketing advantage to the key USA market, at a key time – and the USA gets the benefit of Travel Agent Partner focus on destination USA. The USA is having a great 2008 - which is on track to become a record year for UK visitors – and now, through our Partner programme, we are set to continue this trend into 2009!"
