New Travel Marketing Opportunities for Travel Agents & Tour Operators Now Available

Travel Agents and Tour Operators Can Now Post Travel Deals for Free at Travel Planning/Travel Marketing Website Travelection.com

College Park, MD (PRWEB) January 3, 2011

Online travel marketing service Travelection.com recently added a new feature on its website where travel agents and tour operators can post the travel deals they have to offer. This new feature is free to use and can help to boost the travel marketing efforts of any travel professional who uses it.

"This is our way of helping out travel agents and tour operators that need more exposure but can't otherwise afford to extend their travel marketing efforts," said Kevin Thompson, CTO of Travelection.com. "There are many travel professionals out there that are looking to increase their business in 2011 but are not quite capable of competing with other companies that have more resources and deeper pockets."

Thompson explained that while the Internet does give travel agencies and tour operators access to open markets and possible travel leads, not all travel agencies and tour operators can go head-to-head with the competition or even know how to begin travel marketing. Travelection.com makes it easier and levels the playing field.

Through the new advertising feature, Top Deals, now available on Travelection.com, travel professionals can easily gain the exposure that they need without having to spend money for advertising space. All they have to do is to enter the details of their travel deal and submit it through a simple form onTravelection.com. The travel deal will be made visible to travelers through a variety of ways: via the travelection.com website, RSS feeds, Facebook (c), and Twitter (c).

This new advertising feature on Travelection.com will also connect travel professionals to the website's growing community of individuals who are interested in money-saving travel deals and looking for help in planning a trip.

"A typical member of Travelection.com who isn't a travel agent or tour operator is someone who is looking for a great vacation but doesn't want to spend hours searching the internet," said Thompson. "What travelers want is something as close to their dream vacation as possible without taking a lot of time to plan and without overstretching their budget."

Thompson adds that while many of the travelers who visit Travelection.com do have a solid notion of what they want their vacation to be like, there are also many who go to the website looking for ideas for their next trip. Both types of travelers, he said, are ideal travel leads that travel professionals should connect with to meet their travel marketing goals. Travelection.com's new Top Deals feature helps make that happen.
