TTAND signs Delta Vacations as preferred supplier

The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) has signed a preferred supplier agreement with Delta Vacations, marking the first U.S.-based tour operator agreement for the host agency group.

“Our agents who operate near the Canada/U.S. border have been asking for this,” said TTAND founder and CEO, Flemming Friisdahl, in a press release. “They have clients who want to travel from U.S. gateways near the border.”

Adding to that, David Bentz, Delta Vacations’ director of sales, said the deal will create more opportunities for agents to offer “trusted, end-to-end vacation experiences across the globe from a broad network of U.S. and Canadian departure points.”

Delta Vacations provides travel advisors with a partnership backed by the strength of the Delta Air Lines brand, delivering expert service and support, value through exclusive SkyMiles benefits, flexible payment options, strong commissions along with marketing and educational resources.

Delta Vacations has a global portfolio of 5,000-plus four and five-star hotels in more than 330 worldwide destinations from origins across the U.S. and Canada.

The agreement is effective immediately.
