Advisors can earn up to $250 per qualifying booking and choose how they plan and book with Travel Answers.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Sept. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — There is still time to turn 2026 travel inquiries into bookings, and Travel Answers is giving Travel Advisors an added incentive to make it happen.

With more than one-third of current inquiries for travel in 2026, Travel Answers is seeing continued demand for last-minute getaways, holiday travel and cruise extensions.

To help Advisors capture that business, the tour operator has launched BOOK26, a limited-time incentive rewarding Advisors with up to $250 in gift cards for qualifying new bookings made by October 31, 2026, for travel commencing by December 31, 2026.

Advisors can earn $50, $100 or $250 per qualifying booking, based on the value of the reservation.

“BOOK26 is about helping Advisors capture the business that is still out there for 2026 and rewarding them for it,” said Kirk Demeter, Founder and CEO of Travel Answers. “Clients may be thinking about a last-minute getaway, a family trip over the holidays or adding a few days to a cruise. We can help Advisors turn those ideas into a trip and get their clients traveling this year.”

More Ways to Travel

For Advisors who may know Travel Answers primarily for its roots in Australia and New Zealand, the company has grown considerably since it was founded as Down Under Answers in 1992.

Today, Travel Answers offers vacations across Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Asia, Africa and Europe, with four core product types designed around the different ways clients want to travel:

• Custom FIT vacations tailored around the client’s interests, pace and budget
• Small group, fixed departures for clients who prefer a planned itinerary
• Pre- and post-cruise vacations that extend the client’s experience beyond the cruise
• Custom groups for families, friends, special interests and private groups

For Advisors, that means more opportunities to match the right trip to the right client, whether they are planning a straightforward getaway or a complex, multi-stop itinerary.

Destination Expertise. Online Flexibility. Book Your Way.

Travel Answers also gives Advisors a choice in how they plan and book.

At the heart of Travel Answers are its Destination Specialists, who bring firsthand knowledge and destination expertise to the planning process. They can help Advisors choose the right destinations and experiences, develop itinerary ideas and plan more complex, customized vacations.

For Advisors who prefer to take the lead, the Travel Answers Online Booking Platform provides the flexibility to research, build, quote and book online. Advisors can access live availability, build multi-destination itineraries and create client-ready proposals, giving them the freedom to work on a booking when it works for them.

“Sometimes an Advisor wants to pick up the phone and talk through an itinerary with someone who knows the destination inside and out. Other times, they know exactly what their client wants and just need the tools to get it quoted and booked quickly,” Demeter said. “We want to make both easy.”

35 Years of Making Travel Easy

As Travel Answers approaches its 35th anniversary in 2027, the company remains founder-led and focused on the Travel Advisor community, while continuing to expand its destinations, products and booking tools.

“We have 35 years of relationships, destination knowledge and experience behind us, but we’re continuing to evolve,” Demeter added. “For Advisors, that means more destinations to sell, more types of trip to offer and more flexibility in how they work with us.”

BOOK26 is available on qualifying new bookings made through October 31, 2026, for travel commencing by December 31, 2026. Terms and conditions apply.
