The Concept

We have attained our exceptional prices through three main areas:

• Eliminating the traditional development and marketing costs of the tour operators.
• The buying power of the collective memberships and individual customers that Pro Travel Solutions service.
• Utilising industry surplus.

Eliminating traditional marketing and development costs

A traditional package tour operator will construct the price of a holiday based on the necessary ingredients such as accommodation, flights and transfers. In this we are no different. However the price of traditional package holidays also include a substantial amount of marketing and development costs.

A traditional tour operator takes the necessary ingredients of a holiday and having achieved this with at least three months to a year of forward planning has to then set about retailing and marketing the finished product. This involves printing brochures, finding a network of travel agents to display them, paying staff to ensure that the brochures are prominently displayed and paying the travel agents up to 20% of the retail price in commission. National advertising campaigns are also undertaken to expose the product to the general public and promote sales. All of theses costs are passed on to the consumer and result in a significant increase in the retail price of the holiday.

Travelsaver on the other hand is able to pass benefits to its customers through the elimination of these costs. In our concept we are primarily based on the Internet, we avoid the need to advertise, print, distribute brochures to travel agents and pay them commission, hence always delivering a substantial discount on the price paid by the general public.

The Buying power

This is the simplest fact involved in the concept. An individual purchasing any item will pay the normal retail price. Pro Travel Solutions, however, have the collective purchasing power of several constantly growing memberships of thousands of families, enabling us to purchase in bulk and in advance at the very best prices available. We then pass these benefits on to our members.

So, the saying the more the merrier certainly applies to us!

Utilising industry surplus

It is a fact that any hotel, resort, cruise ship or accommodation provider has normally less than eighty percent occupancy. However, their overheads remain the same whether they are eighty percent or one hundred percent occupied.

The Pro Travel Solutions’ Global Distribution System assists hotels, resorts, cruise ships and accommodation providers by purchasing the surplus space at a discounted price and offering that discounted space only to our members hence because we don’t offer these highly discounted prices to the general public they don’t affect the accommodation suppliers general market. It´s what we call a win-win situation!
