Launched in 2008 TheTopTravelClub.com is offering thousands of travel vouchers enabling members to buy travel at net of commission prices if they handle their own travel arrangements directly with the operators listed on the club website. Developed by website veterans TopTravelSites.com, LastMinuteDirect.net and TheTravelInsider.net, it is aimed at consumers who are comfortable with handling their own travel arrangements directly with travel operators around the world using the internet. Many operators pay commissions and fees to sellers of their services but with this club that amount is returned to the members when they make their own bookings. Operators that do not normally pay commissions also have the opportunity to join the program using the voucher as an incentive and encouragement to make a direct booking. With around 500,000 new internet users per day and the statement from the Travel Industry Association (USA) that over 79 million Americans use the internet when planning travel, the Club is focused on growing the membership and getting discounted direct prices for members from travel operators around the world. The club charges an annual membership fee of $85usd per family, but for this fee members are able to access thousands of free travel vouchers, called TopTravelVouchers, to be used in over 70 countries enabling them to get travel at net prices. Some vouchers are worth more than $1,000usd but generally represent a commission saving of between 10 and 20 per cent. There is no limit to the number of TopTravelVouchers available for use by members throughout their membership year except for normal space availability limitations but all members are advised to contact the travel operators to confirm reservations. All payments are made directly to the operators as the club does not sell travel or take reservations. The club offers an excellent selection of travel choices and a spokesman for the club says that more travel operators are joining the program every week. Expansion to include the thousands of small travel businesses such as day-tours, city tours, b&b's, small hotels, restaurants, air ticket consolidators, travel gear, clothing and insurance is underway. Travel operators do not pay to join the program but they must participate in offering vouchers for net prices that are unique to the members and not available to the general public. The Club is also seeking travel agents with knowledge, experience and expertise for members who need such assistance but does not necessarily accept that the term, 'specialist agent,' meets the qualifications required of an expert. Travel agents who offer expertise on destinations and activities or who operate their own in-house tours are being sought to join the program but must offer discounted direct booking prices. A quote from the Club Marketing Team, "when members handle their own travel arrangements directly with travel suppliers, we feel that they should get fairer fare prices as would be expected when buying directly from the outlet or source." In the near future memberships will be offered to other organizations, clubs and loyalty programs who wish to offer travel savings to their own members. Full details of the benefits of membership are available at TheTopTravelClub.com. Contact: Club Marketing Team: Tony Humphrey
