JTA Travel increases agent commission
JTA Travel has launched a new ‘FLEXI Charter’ which will offer agents a much more flexible approach to making future bookings.
As part of this initiative, JTA is also launching ‘FLEXI Deals’, increasing all agent commissions by 2% on all new bookings and any re-bookings.
Wayne Darrock, group managing director, said: "These are extremely challenging times, so we wanted to offer as much assistance to our trade partners as possible, in securing future bookings and for the increased work involved in completing re-bookings."
JTA is offering free cancellations and amendments on all ‘FLEXI Deals’, which will be supported by low cost, ‘FLEXI Deposits’ from £25. These will be fully transferable, should circumstances change.
In addition, ‘FLEXI Balances’ on payment deadlines are being offered, should customers require additional time to pay for their holiday.
JTA has also announced that it is now issuing credit notes, as per ABTA guidelines, with refunds being dealt with as soon as possible.
"We have grown steadily as a business since 1972 and are in a strong financial position, so we are able to offer our agent partners as much help as we can at this difficult time," added Darrock.
