Kumuka Worldwide is a leader in travel e-commerce technology

Thursday, 18 Sep, 2006 0

Adventure travel tour operator Kumuka Worldwide leads the industry in travel technology. Over the last two years, Kumuka has re-launched its website with full e-commerce capabilities and has extended its innovations to agents and affiliates in the form of an agents online booking system, a full affiliate marketing program and a white label product.

Kumuka’s website was the first adventure travel site to feature live tour availability and instantly confirmed online bookings. With SSL encryption technology, and real-time payment authorisation services, clients can safely, securely and quickly make online bookings.
The agents online booking system was developed for agents to take advantage of these facilities in a user-friendly environment, and provides live availability on Kumuka Tours, access to book and confirm these for clients instantly, and the opportunity to edit and manage clients bookings online.

Agents are able to freely roam the entire website, and access up to date information on all adventure tours, departure dates, availability and the latest discounts and special offers that can be passed on to clients. Each registered agents online account allows them to keep track of all current and previous bookings with Kumuka and keep contact and branch details updated. The website also hosts a live chat facility giving users worldwide the opportunity to contact Kumuka no matter where they are or what the time is. In short, it provides a 24-hour virtual Kumuka office for audiences globally.

Kumuka has also initiated a comprehensive affiliate partner program including XML Web Services, and further to that, a complete white label product. For online agents, travel suppliers and other travel partners alike, this means that the quality Kumuka product can be linked through their site and commission can be earned from any bookings generated as a result.

Through electronic tracking, any transactions made via a partners website earn the affiliate a percentage of the booking made. With XML data feeds, affiliates retain full control of how their website looks to their clients whilst being able to incorporate Kumuka tour information, availability and search functions into their own website. Alternatively, many affiliates opt for a simple link to the Kumuka site that is enough to facilitate the referral and earn commission from any bookings made within a 6-month period with 180-day cookies. Affiliates are supported by a dedicated partnerships manager and also have access to online reporting to track sales, referrals and payments easily and securely.

For clients keen to implement Kumuka products into their own website whilst protecting their branding and navigation, Kumuka also offer a full white label service which can be completely tailored to a web clients needs.
Kumuka are the leaders in adventure travel technology and continue to create innovative ways for our travel partners to sell Kumuka’s tours, make great commissions and provide clients with quality tours from a worldwide leader in adventure travel.
