TravelEssence, that sounds familiar. How do I know that name?
The TravelEssence story began back in 2006, with our Kiwi founder, Andrew Morten. Since then, we have gone from just selling holidays in the Netherlands to working with five other markets in Europe. Just like you, our focus is on small, unique accommodations found off the beaten track and away from mass tourism.
Your future clients from TravelEssence are looking for their dream holiday. We like to make sure their personalised trip checks all the boxes by meeting with them in person. Since our sales team have all extensively travelled and lived in Australia or New Zealand, they can guide our clients to the right places that suit their ideal holiday wishes.
Do you believe people need to stay longer in your region?
Our clients think so, and so do we. We approach travel slowly, meaning clients spend longer at your accommodation to truly make the most out of their time in your local area.
Is sustainability also important to you?
Well, we have this in common. TravelEssence has worked on sustainable initiatives, such as carbon offsetting and providing clean cookstoves to villages in Bangladesh. With our Travelife certification and knowledge sharing, we can all minimise our impact of travel without compromising a dream experience.
TravelEssence Philosophy
Have you always wanted to work with an international agent, but didn’t know where to start? Are you looking for an experienced travel agent with easy systems? Do you want to be paid before your guests arrive? Do you want guests with relaxed schedules and enough time to explore?
TravelEssence can make all this happen. With more than 15 years of experience, we are proud to be a specialist in small unique accommodations and activity providers on your side of the world. With our personalised approach, you will receive well-matched and happy guests from the Netherlands, the UK, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Belgium. Your future guests travel slowly and stay away from mass tourism. They love places off the beaten track, just like yours.
What can you expect from us?
We are used to bringing new accommodation hosts and activity providers to our clients. We have many tips to share if you want to fine tune your offerings and give that extra bit of thrill and delight. Little details lead to big differences. Our clients prefer to stay in small unique accommodation instead of standard hotels. We are focused on finding and supporting individual accommodation providers, even if you are new to the international market.
How does it work?
We send you a booking via email an average of 6 to 12 months in advance. In the email you can confirm with a simple click. You receive a reconfirmation a few weeks before clients arrive just in case they slipped your mind. We pay you automatically at least seven days in advance. You will receive an email with payment.
Our clients travel with your google maps location so they navigate right to your front gate. You can see where a client was the night before in case you need to contact them about anything. You can check all your bookings anytime from your supplier dashboard.
What about sending invoices?
You don’t have to send us an invoice. We have a sufficient paper trail to be able to pay you automatically using a ‘buyer created invoice’. You can download these for your financial records.
