How We Sort Directories - Our Business Model

 

We have over 2,000 worldwide tour host listings and they participate free of any charge, but they are not all available for viewing except through our search engine.

We developed "Discover and Explore" opportunity pages—Themes and Regions—so that sophisticated travelers could research what they might enjoy, but hadn't thought to key word search for.

We employ a "Sponsored Listing" model which means some 25% of those 2,000 tour hosts pay a nominal monthly fee to be seen in our "Discover and Explore" pages by Theme, Region, Country and Activity, as well as the ability to list Trips. "Sponsored Listings" appear before free basic listings in the general search results and —additionally they enjoy direct click-thrus to their web sites (free-listings ask that travelers register with us before being sent on to obtain additional information).

The traveler has the opportunity to go on after initial viewings in Themes and Regions to view all 2,000 listings via our central directory search engine—all free listings are then visible, or, by going to "Search" on the menu.


As a Traveler you can...

  • Enjoy "Discover and Explore" opportunities by selecting Themes or Regions. These are pre-sorted and give you the opportunity to uncover something you had not thought of in keyword terms, for example, that a culinary experience can be combined with opera in Prague.
     
  • Research 1,000's of companies, trips and articles from around the world. You can join a scheduled departure, organize your fantasy vacation, with your own group or independently. You can custom design a dream with as much, or as little help as you desire.
     
  • Read the best online travel magazine for the curious, sophisticated and obviously, Cultured Traveler!
     
  • Even share your experiences (have your name in print) by submitting an article to The Cultured Traveler news magazine.
     
  • Register to receive news and great Trip Specials each and every month of the year, as well as one-step convenience for trip and company information requests.
     
  • Enjoy an Events Calendar—by month—that you can cross-reference to respective Tourist
    Boards!
     
  • There are no charges or hidden fees for Travelers—it's all FREE! Please enjoy, and, your Privacy is always preserved.

As a Tour Host you can...

  • Reach millions of travelers and agents by listing your Company (it's FREE!) in our central directory. While these free listings offer limited visibility for your company, we include everyone because we're dedicated to bringing worldwide cultural tour opportunities to visiting travelers.
     
  • Become a Subscribing Sponsor for a nominal monthly fee and you will appear in our "Discover and Explore" Register as a Tour Host or Loginpages—with direct links to your site.

    You are also eligible to list unlimited Trips with direct links to your itinerary pages! If you subscribe you are more visible in a less crowded directory, and you become search-engine visible by multiple Activities and Countries served.
     
  • You can choose to be visible (as a Subscribing Sponsor) in as many fields as you wish—Themes, Regions, Activities and Countries—which gives you control over how many click-thrus you want!
     
  • Subscribe for a Web Page Ad and enjoy a truly unique and sophisticated way to advertise on the Internet—just click the Ad Directory link at the top of this page to see for yourself—and, click any thumbnail there!. Check rates and fees.
     
  • Submitting an article to The Cultured Traveler Newsletter shows you know your stuff, and targets travelers and agents at the point of research.

As a Travel Agent you can...

  • Register as a Travel Agent and enjoy Business to Business research of our entire tour operator directory. It's free!

    Once in Agent Research mode you'll also be able to directly e-mail them or visit their web site!

    Why is it free? It's a support service we provide to our subscribing-sponsor Tour Hosts. You can see who remits commissions, uses escrow accounts—their licensing, registrations and more.

  •  
  • License a Cultural Travels, privately-labeled Trips Module that displays hundreds of special interest trips on your web site—for less than $15/month!

    Hit the Trips link on the menu to see the inventory you can select from, and, with our tech-savvy back-end you'll be able to "pick and choose" by category or country—even add your own trips!

    It's a great way to provide targeted content to your visitors and to highlight your special add-on value.
     
  • Create an alliance with our service department. We're often called upon—by phone and e-mail—to assist travelers with questions or those in need of support—yes, even booking. Let us know of your special interests and we'll work to see you matched if requested.
