Travel + Leisure GO for Professionals Has New Designations

Travel + Leisure GO for Professionals, the travel advisor program of Travel + Leisure Co. (NYSE: TNL), the world’s leading membership and leisure travel company, today announced two new designations that offer qualified travel professionals significantly enhanced benefits. 

The new Travel + Leisure GO for Professionals designations include “Ambassador” – aimed at travel agency partners, and “Ambassador Elite” – designed for individual travel advisors. Both unlock exclusive discounts with the ability to set custom commission structures and gain access to curated itineraries, as well as private offers across the globe with special pricing and commission through VAX VacationAccess travel advisor platform within Travel + Leisure GO.

“We are making it easy and profitable for our qualified travel professional partners to make the iconic Travel + Leisure brand work for them,” said Amy Lipka, SVP Global Marketing & Operations for Travel + Leisure GO. “Ambassador level partners earn more and may choose to pass additional savings to their customers, an important flexibility in a competitive and traditionally seasonal market.”

In addition, travel professionals qualifying for the Ambassador and Ambassador Elite designation programs can unlock benefits of an all-new private membership designed exclusively for them. This private membership includes access to top travel content, hot-list deals on trending destinations based on real booking data, travel inspiration from the experts at Travel + Leisure, and complimentary access to Travel + Leisure magazine, and offers luxe amenities such as concierge services for VIP events, personal shopping, private dining and more. Professionals with Ambassador Elite status also receive a mailed copy of Travel + Leisure, as well as $100 in travel credits within their private membership account for their personal use across hotels and car rentals.
