HTS has developed its Global Sourcing Division in both a traditional and a nontraditional manner. Partner agencies and partner suppliers each play key roles in the distribution of preferred products and services.

HTS has relationships with major and minor airlines. Commission enhancement, net fares, and upgrade programs are only a few of the many possibilities currently offered.

Through its wholly-owned Hotel Program, HTS has access to programs, rates and amenities at over 13,000 properties that are second to none. This fully-commissionable program is available through traditional GDS and can be delivered to our partner agencies' clients as their own.

Sourcing is available for both leisure and corporate rental car programs. These programs offer commission enhancement, commission override, lowest rate guarantees and much more to our partner agencies.

Our partner agencies' leisure capability is enhanced by providing an online booking program that allows them to take advantage of enhanced commissions from dollar one on most major leisure activities. The beauty of this program is that it can be selectively utilized by our partner agencies only when it enhances their existing leisure commission initiatives.

Technology is all-important in today's travel industry. HTS provides technology support to all facets of our partner agencies' business processes. Profile management, online booking, file finishing, quality control, auto ticketing, voice over IP, remote GDS access and support, web-seminar and conference capability; These are only a few of the many services of which our partner agencies can advantage themselves. As is the norm with HTS service, HTS programs are private labeled such that our partner agencies' name and reputation are fully recognized and enhanced.

Partner agencies become partner suppliers as many provide products and services to each other, utilizing HTS as a common, central platform. Consolidator programs, net fares, proprietary airline programs, bulk fares, regional programs, technology initiatives; These are but a few of the ways in which a partner agency can proliferate their proprietary strengths and initiatives to other partner agencies and partner suppliers.

Multiply these strengths to a regional and global scope, and now HTS Sourcing provides a truly unique and powerful travel industry tool.
