TRAVELSAVERS Canada reports $45M increase in preferred partner sales, new AI tool

TRAVELSAVERS Canada is reporting a $45 million increase in preferred partner sales after it welcomed 23 new affiliates this year.

As outlined in a press release Wednesday (Oct. 2), the expansion represents an eight per cent growth in the number of TRAVELSAVERS Canada agencies.

The company says it has also added 100 independent contractors into various TRAVELSAVERS agencies over the past eight months, which has contributed to the spike in sales.  

"In today’s dynamic travel industry, agencies need more than just tools—they need a partner committed to their long-term success," said Jane Clementino, vice-president and general manager of TRAVELSAVERS Canada, in a statement. “At TRAVELSAVERS Canada, our focus has always been on empowering advisors with the resources, support, and innovative solutions they need to grow their business.”

“By prioritizing their success, we’ve fostered lasting relationships and continue to see significant growth, proving the strength of our model and our dedication to our affiliates."

Earlier this week, TRAVELSAVERS Canada released he results of a new survey that explores some of the  “greatest challenges” faced by agencies today. 

The report sheds light on pain points, such as the competition posed by suppliers who accept direct bookings from consumers, as well as online travel agencies. See more here.

New technology

TRAVELSAVERS Canada has also announced new technological offerings, including a customized AI solution, a new Softvoyage feature, and marketing initiatives to continue driving sales growth for its affiliated advisors.

A new proprietary AI tool will help advisors market to clients and prospects in minutes instead of hours. AI Connect will help advisors develop polished marketing content while saving time.

With the program, advisors can access exclusive preferred partner offers for the U.S. or Canada and generate social media captions, blog posts and landing pages. AI Connect also integrates with Canva to build graphics using royalty-free images, all while learning the unique tone and style of the advisor’s brand.

Softvoyage upgrade

TRAVELSAVERS Canada is also now unveiling a new feature on Softvoyage: a user-friendly dashboard.

The dashboard helps travel professionals easily create and market custom group trips and packages. Softvoyage generates a unique code for use in marketing materials, allowing consumers to click directly into its booking engine. 

This enhancement drives website traffic and improves search engine visibility, helping advisors stand out in a competitive market.

“We’re thrilled to introduce this innovative feature, giving our advisors a powerful new tool to drive their business forward,” said Clementino in a release. “This new enhancement is all about giving them the cutting-edge technology they need to succeed in an increasingly competitive marketplace.”
