In the travel industry, knowledge is everything.
Those who sell should have experienced what they recommend.
That’s exactly what drives our philosophy:
Travel agents shouldn’t just talk about travel – they should live it.
At SETT Hub, we offer our travel agency partners absolute NET-NET rates –no hidden conditions, no bonus systems, and no minimum sales targets.
💬 Learn by Traveling
A travel agent who travels learns more than any classroom or webinar can teach. They understand booking flows, see how systems connect, and recognize the difference between “good” and “great” hotels.
Someone who has walked through Lisbon, stayed in a recommended hotel, visited several properties, and experienced the destination firsthand, can advise clients with genuine confidence and passion.
For us at SETT Hub, this is a win-win situation:The agent understands our B2B travel booking platform better, and we gain partners who truly know the products they sell.
⚖️ Why We Don’t Believe in Bonus Systems
Many travel suppliers work with bonus or reward programs.But let’s be honest — they often create more problems than value.
1️⃣ The Tax Trap
Bonus points count as a monetary benefit. When linked to turnover, they can become taxable income —and agency owners might face back payments or fines.
2️⃣ The Loyalty Problem
Bonus systems bypass management. Agents might book where they earn points, not where the company receives the best rates or margins. That’s not loyalty — that’s a conflict of interest.
3️⃣ The Inequality Issue
Such programs reward sellers only, while back-office or accounting staff get left out. But we believe: every travel professional deserves to experience the product they help sell.
That’s why SETT Hub gives equal opportunities to everyone — regardless of position.
🌍 Fairness and Transparency First
Our system is simple and transparent:1️⃣ The travel agent books via SETT Hub.2️⃣ Sends the booking number to our support team.3️⃣ Receives the absolute NET-NET rate.
We then inform the hotel that this is a travel agent booking —so they can provide the best possible experience and cooperation.
This structure builds trust and fairness across the travel agency network. Everyone benefits:
The agent, who gains knowledge and experience.
The agency, which offers better service.
And SETT Hub, which gains stronger, informed partners.
