Launch your travel agency
Sell travel under your own brand.
We build and host a site under your brand. Every booking made on it is contracted, fulfilled and invoiced by NWP Travel and Tourism L.L.C-FZ, the seller of record under its Meydan Free Zone licence; you market the brand and sell. You do not trade under our licence, and you must not present your business as licensed by us or by the regulator.
What is included
- NWP Travel and Tourism L.L.C-FZ as the seller of record, under its Meydan Free Zone licence, for every booking made on your site
- A website for your own brand, with your name, logo, colours and domain, built and hosted by us on the platform our own sites run on
- Connection to the same inventory, booking and checkout system we sell through, rather than a separate integration
- Booking fulfilment by our operations team, with the customer-service infrastructure behind it
How it works
Apply
Tell us who you are, what you have done in travel and who your agency will sell to. The form is longer than our other applications, on purpose.
Review and agreement
Our directors read every application and speak to you directly before anything proceeds. If it is a fit, the terms are set out in a written agreement that both sides review and sign.
We build your site and connect it to our booking system
We build and host your branded site and connect it to the same inventory, checkout and operations we sell through.
Your brand goes live
The site goes live under your brand. You market and sell; we contract, fulfil and invoice every booking as seller of record, and the profit is split as the agreement sets out.
How it is paid for
The structure is here. Every figure is agreed with you.
Two parts, both agreed with you and written into the agreement: a one-time initiation fee, which covers setting the agency up, and an ongoing profit split, which is NWP's agreed share of the net revenue booked through your site. An agreement always has a contract term, and may set a minimum monthly volume.
There is no public rate card for this service. The initiation fee, the profit split, any minimum and the contract term are agreed with you directly and written into the agreement.
Approval, not sign-up
This is approval-based and relationship-driven. There is no instant sign-up, and no application is approved automatically.
Every booking on a partner's site is contracted by us as the seller of record under our Meydan Free Zone licence, so we decide carefully whose brand we stand behind. Our directors read every application, and a direct conversation comes before anything else.
We look for real experience in travel, a clear idea of who the agency will sell to, and a way of reaching them. Some applications are declined, and when one is, we say so.
Before anything is set up
- Approval-based: there is no instant sign-up and no automatic approval
- A direct conversation with our directors before anything proceeds
- A written agreement, reviewed and signed by both parties, before anything is set up
Questions
- Who carries the legal liability?
- NWP Travel and Tourism L.L.C-FZ is the seller of record for every booking made on your site: it contracts with the customer, fulfils the booking and answers to the regulator for it. You do not trade under our licence, and you must not present your business as licensed by us or by the regulator. The written agreement sets out what each party is responsible and liable for. This page describes the service; it is not legal advice, and you may want your own adviser to review the agreement before you sign it.
- What am I responsible for, and what is NWP responsible for?
- You are responsible for your brand, your marketing, your relationship with your customers, and selling within what the agreement allows. We are responsible for contracting and fulfilling every booking as seller of record, building and hosting the website, the connection to inventory and checkout, and the customer-service infrastructure behind them. The agreement is the complete list.
- Do I need my own DET or DCT licence?
- That depends on what you do yourself. Under this arrangement NWP is the seller of record; whether your own activities need a licence is a question for your adviser, and the agreement sets out who does what.
- What happens at the end of the contract?
- The agreement sets it out before you sign: whether and how it renews, what happens to your brand and your domain, how bookings still to travel are handled, and how the final profit split is settled.
- Is there a minimum commitment?
- There may be. Some agreements set a minimum monthly volume and some do not; it depends on the agency, and it is agreed with you before you sign. Every agreement has a fixed contract term.
- Is this page the agreement?
- No. The final arrangement is set out in a written agreement that both parties review before it is signed, and nothing is activated in our systems until it is. Where this page and the agreement differ, the agreement applies.
