Expected Role of a Partner
Partners are sought to complement and expand service offerings across the travel and tourism value chain. The ideal partner may belong to one or more of the following categories:

Local experience providers: Organizations or individuals able to deliver authentic, high-quality, and safe local experiences such as guided tours, cultural workshops, outdoor activities, culinary events, or nature excursions. Their responsibilities include service delivery, adherence to quality and safety standards, and coordination with operations for availability and logistics.

Accommodation and transport providers: Entities offering accommodations (from boutique hotels to ecolodges) and/or transport services including local transfers, car rentals, or intercity connections. These partners must handle flexible booking arrangements, provide transparent pricing, and commit to customer service.

Technology and platform developers: Partners who can improve technological capabilities through integration with booking systems, itinerary automation, customer analytics, or user experience tools. Their role involves technical collaboration, platform integration, and joint development of scalable solutions.

Sustainability-focused organizations: Experts in sustainable tourism, community engagement, or responsible travel who contribute to product development, certification, and sustainability audits. They collaborate to incorporate environmental and social impact into service delivery.

Research and innovation collaborators: Academic institutions, think tanks, or research organizations providing insights on market trends, customer behavior, and product innovation. These partners supply research capacity and data analysis in exchange for shared learning and potential commercial use.

Distribution and sales partners: Entities with access to specific customer segments or regional markets responsible for marketing and selling travel packages under co-branded or white-label agreements, maintaining service standards and brand consistency.

In all cooperation types, partners are expected to coordinate closely with operations and product teams, provide regular feedback and performance data, and actively contribute to improving customer experiences.
