Travel advisors now have a powerful new tool with the launch of Travel Answers, a unified brand consolidating five leading wholesale travel companies. This rebranding combines Down Under Answers, Travel2, Islands in the Sun, Africa Answers, and Asia Answers into one platform.
The move aims to streamline operations, marketing, and travel advisor experience across these DMCs specializing in Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific, Africa, and Asia. Under the new Travel Answers umbrella, advisors gain a centralized hub to book vacations, access resources, and navigate the entire brand portfolio.
“This renewal simplifies the experience for our travel advisor partners, providing one unified brand to tap into all the destinations we specialize in,” said Kirk Demeter, CEO and founder/owner of Travel Answers. “While our individual wholesale brands remain, we’re streamlining marketing and operations to better serve partners and clients.”
A New Digital Destination for Travel Advisors
The consolidation debuts with the launch of a new comprehensive website at travelanswersgroup.com. The digital platform aims to be a best-practice site for advisors to plan dream vacations.
Key features include high-funnel destination content, a wide array of downloadable resources, and centralized access to Travel Answers’ distinct DMC brands. Social media is also uniting under the Travel Answers umbrella for a seamless multi-channel experience.
Travel advisors can easily toggle between destinations, compare products and pricing, download sell tools, and tap into on-the-ground expertise.
“Our new online hub empowers advisors to better service clients with resources, DMC knowledge, and streamlined access to our broad range of products across the South Pacific, Africa, Australia/New Zealand, and Asia,” said Kerryn Collins, Acting Director of Marketing at Travel Answers.
Destination Expertise Meets Improved Experience
At its core, Travel Answers remains rooted in destination management that it has cultivated over three decades. The company’s passionate team of product managers, tour leaders, and operations staff has experienced, and lived in, the regions they sell.
This in-destination expertise translates into a knowledgeable advisory experience and highly customized vacations for clients. Travel Answers specializes in curating extraordinary tailor-made journeys packed with immersive cultural encounters, insider access, uniquely local flavors, and personalized touches.
“Our team’s intimate knowledge allows us to craft bespoke, personalized itineraries ensuring every traveler has an extraordinary experience,” Demeter said. “For advisors, that means complete confidence they’re delivering dream vacations tailored to each client’s needs.”
The new Travel Answers brand will still advise on experiential vacations to the South Pacific, Africa, Australia/New Zealand, and Asia. Advisors can expect the same service, destination proficiency, and product reliability they’ve known from DMCs like Down Under Answers since 1992.
With operations streamlined under one dynamic brand, the company is set on growing partnerships with the travel advisor community. Advisors can seamlessly mix and match destinations, tailor custom FIT journeys, and enjoy centralized sales and marketing support.
As the unified Travel Answers identity rolls out, the company is committed to facilitating a smooth transition for all partners through close communication and collaboration.
“We’re thrilled to offer travel advisors this enhanced brand experience bolstered by our deep destination expertise,” said Collins. “It’s an exciting evolution strengthening our ability to inspire and empower advisors in curating life-enriching vacations for their clients.”
