Preferred Hotels & Resorts has debuted its new travel advisor portal.

The platform features priority access to a curated collection of 600+ luxury independent hotels, resorts and residences worldwide.

Travel advisors can also use the portal  to make and manage reservations, prepare rate quotes, submit commission claims and more.

“We are proud to present this exciting new tool, which underscores our commitment to supporting the travel advisor community and enhancing their ability to provide the most unique and unforgettable travel experiences to their clients,” said Cheryl Williams, Chief Revenue Officer, Preferred Travel Group.

The fully integrated platform allows agents to make reservations with access to eligible rates during searches, as well as exclusive offers and promotions.

The platform also allows for personalized confirmations, room rate details, and included guest amenities, based on agency affiliation.

Agents can also track performance metrics through the ‘My Insights’ section, which offers statistics on active and past reservations, unique hotels booked, total revenue, and total room nights booked.

The tool also features a comprehensive knowledge base for advisors to learn more about Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ global collection of luxury properties, as well as the benefits of client enrollment and membership in the company’s ‘I Prefer Hotel Rewards’ loyalty program.

The portal also contains helpful links, FAQs, and other related information.

Preferred Platinum agents benefit from a dedicated search page that lists Preferred Platinum hotels and amenities, as well as automatic inclusion of the Preferred Platinum rates when sourcing hotels.

A new feature, exclusively available to Preferred Platinum travel advisors, is Small Social Group Requests, managed through the Preferred Hotels & Resorts’ VIP Desk. The program allows for immediate confirmation of availability and rates for bookings of up to 15 rooms with no meeting space required,  at selected participating properties.

For more information and to register for the portal, visit TA.PreferredHotels.com.

Travel advisors and agents can also continue book client stays via the GDS using the ‘PH’ and ‘PV’ chain codes.
