For travel agencies

Quote on qualified trips. No lead fees.

WanderBids sends you complete, checked trip briefs from travelers in the routes you know best: private groups, family reunions, honeymoons and tailor-made trips. At most three agencies see each request, and you keep full control of your itinerary and your price.

Founding Agency places are planned for the first 20 agencies in each market.

Better odds. Less admin. No lead fees.

At most three agencies per request.

You never compete with more than two other agencies, so every proposal you write has a real chance.

Briefs you can quote from.

Dates, group size and age groups, budget, origin and trip style, checked for completeness before they reach you.

Pay when you win.

On our planned Network Partner plan there’s no subscription and no lead fee, just a success fee on the bookings you win.

Decline without penalty.

Not the right trip for you? Decline it. There’s no penalty.

Learn from every proposal.

When a traveler chooses another proposal, we share the reason whenever the traveler gives us one: price, hotels, speed or fit.

Your rates stay private.

Your net rates and suppliers are never shown to other agencies.

Your price, your sign-off.

You set every price. No AI-generated price reaches a traveler without your sign-off.

How it works for your agency

  1. Apply and get vetted.

    Tell us about your agency, your licence or accreditation and the routes you serve. We check your documents and references, then, if you’re a fit, send you a test brief.

  2. Receive matched requests.

    When a traveler’s brief fits your destinations and specialties, a team member invites you to propose, alongside no more than two other agencies.

  3. Send your proposal, aiming for 48 hours.

    Use your own itinerary format, and aim to send it within 48 hours of receiving the request. We turn it into a comparison card, so the traveler can compare like for like.

  4. Win the booking.

    The traveler accepts your proposal and books with you. You’re the seller (merchant of record): you take the traveler’s payment, including any deposit, under your own terms, and you confirm the bookings. How and when we invoice the success fee is set out in the agency terms you’ll receive before you join.

  5. Deliver the trip.

    You book and look after the trip, just as you do today.

During the concierge pilot, planned for November 2026 to January 2027, a team member matches requests by hand. Pilot fees and invoicing are agreed with each agency in writing before it receives a request.

Plans and pricing

We plan two ways to work with us: start as a Network Partner with no subscription, or run your whole agency on Agency OS. Prices are in US dollars.

Network Partner is planned to start in January 2027, when our first routes are due to open fully. Agency OS is in development and planned for 2027.

Planned from January 2027

Network Partner

US$0 a month

Success fee: 4% of each booking you win through WanderBids

Includes:

  • qualified requests in open routes
  • comparison cards for your proposals
  • loss feedback

Planned for 2027

Agency OS

US$199 a month

Success fee: 2.5% of each booking you win through WanderBids, and 0% on your own clients through your own request page

Planned features, in addition to everything in Network Partner:

  • a branded CRM and WhatsApp workspace, built on GoHighLevel and set up when you subscribe
  • the Quote Desk: qualified requests with a quality score and a 48-hour clock
  • the AI Proposal Co-pilot, which drafts from your own rate sheets and notes
  • analytics
  • your own request page, where your existing clients use the same brief at 0% fee

“Market” means the country where your agency is based: the Philippines, Singapore, New Zealand or Canada. These plans and prices are planned, not an offer you can accept on this page. The full terms, including when any no-charge period starts and any taxes, are in the agency terms you’ll see and agree to before you join.

Founding Agency Program

Help shape WanderBids from day one

We plan to invite the first 20 agencies in each market to join as Founding Agencies. You’d get Agency OS at no charge for 6 months, then US$99 a month locked for 12 months, the lower 2.5% success fee, a Founding Partner badge and a seat on our product council, where you can help shape what we build next. Full terms come with our agency terms.

Who it’s for: Licensed or accredited agencies that plan private group, family reunion, honeymoon, luxury or tailor-made trips, especially on our first routes: Manila to Japan and Singapore to Korea, then Auckland to Bali (planned for April 2027) and Toronto to Philippines (planned for June 2027).

Our vetting standards

Every agency is checked before it receives a request. Here’s what we ask for.

What we check

  • A licence or accreditation where you operate: accreditation with the Department of Tourism (DOT) in the Philippines; a travel agent licence from the Singapore Tourism Board (STB); provincial registration in Canada, such as TICO in Ontario; in New Zealand, TAANZ membership is preferred
  • Business registration
  • References
  • A test brief, to see your response time and the quality of your proposal

We keep your licence, accreditation and any insurance or bonds on file, with reminders before they expire.

Our service standards once you’re live

  • Aim to send a first proposal within 48 hours of receiving a request
  • Proposals on the standard comparison card (we build it from your proposal)
  • Prices valid for at least 7 days
  • Tell us promptly if your licence or accreditation status changes

Questions agencies ask first

How do agencies pay?

It depends on your plan. We plan to launch these plans in 2027, and all prices are in US dollars.

  • Network Partner: no subscription; a 4% success fee on each booking you win through WanderBids.
  • Agency OS: US$199 a month and a 2.5% success fee on bookings you win through WanderBids, with 0% on your own clients through your own request page.
  • Founding Agency (first 20 agencies in each market): Agency OS at no charge for 6 months, then US$99 a month locked for 12 months, with the 2.5% success fee.

Agency OS subscriptions will be billed monthly. The full terms, including how fees are invoiced and any taxes, are in the agency terms you’ll see before you join.

Can I decline a request?

Yes, with no penalty. If a trip isn’t right for you, declining is better for everyone.

Who sets the price?

You do. AI can help you draft (on Agency OS, planned for 2027, the AI Proposal Co-pilot will work from your own rate sheets and notes), but every price is yours, and no AI-generated price reaches a traveler without your sign-off.

Which routes are you recruiting for?

Manila to Japan and Singapore to Korea first (pilot planned from November 2026, full opening planned for January 2027), then Auckland to Bali (planned for April 2027) and Toronto to Philippines (planned for June 2027). Serve other routes? Apply anyway: applications help us decide where to open next.
