Travel Union will introduce new roads of self-employment: Sonu Sood
At the launching event, Sonu Sood said-
“I was struck by the shortage of personalized services responding to the needs of Bharat and solving the digital demands of rural populace.”
In fact, rural users now do not have the alternative of pre-planning their journey and must rely on several operators for a variety of travel needs.
“I intended Travel Union to dismantle all hurdles to travel and create an entrepreneurial potential to everyone in the country who wants to pursue a career in the travel business,”
-he added.
“Travel Union strives to build a close network of travel agents as Travel Union Affiliates. And also, to introduce new roads of self-employment and self-reliance for individuals who join the system. Travel Union will make it relatively easy for rural travel agencies to meet all of their users travel demands and will connect them with the latest technology and great margins”
-he added.
There are no extra charges from our end, so agents have the best price: Founder, Travel Union, Dilip Modi
“We obtain net rates (B2B rates) from all vendors and forward them along to the travel agent. There really is no extra charge on that”,
-as Dilip Modi said.
He added, Whatever we earn is refers to the quantity of business we create, which is termed as the Productive Link Bonus (PLB) at the end of each month, quarter, and year. There is no extra charge or service fee from our end or vendors at the purchase stage, so agents have the best pricing. However, they can levy a service fee depending on his association with the client.
