Following its soft launch in North America earlier this year, 1000 Mile Travel Group (1000MTG)is adding hotels and car rental options alongside flights on its 1000Access platform.
Developed in partnership with Sabre, 1000Access is a comprehensive solution set up to transform the way independent travel advisors, Virtuoso members, and mid-sized agencies streamline their workflows and grow their business.
“Our initial goal with 1000Access was clear,” says Nicola Veltman, co-founder and CEO of 1000MTG. “We wanted to create a platform that saves time and drives revenue for travel advisors. Today, it has evolved into a game-changer that provides real-time access to a wide array of content plus advanced features like automatic ticketing, negotiated fares, and commission tracking.”
“For too long, advisors have been losing out by relying on third-party websites and airlines that don’t pay commissions,” explains Ben Ross, Co-founder and CEO. “1000Access changes the game, putting those missed earnings right back where they belong—into the advisor’s pocket.”
With 1000Access, travel advisors can compare rates, check availability, and complete bookings all from one unified dashboard. The platform’s automation includes managing traveler profiles, generating invoices, and creating itineraries, freeing advisors to focus on what they do best: delivering top-tier service to their clients.
“This platform isn’t just another tool; it’s designed to maximize productivity,” says Ross. “While it’s powered by Sabre Red LaunchPad, the product, content, and backend automation we’ve built in ensures advisors get the most out of every workday.”
1000Access also tracks top-selling destinations to identify up-selling and cross-selling opportunities. It includes the ability to manage client preferences, loyalty memberships, and special requests, travel advisors can elevate their customer experience, ensuring each itinerary is precisely tailored to the client’s needs. With automated commission tracking, 1000Access ensures advisors never miss a payment.
Already 40 per cent of 1000 Mile Travel Group’s North American independent travel advisors and business owners have been onboarded to 1000Access, collectively earning over $120,000USD in airline commission
