You've built something real.
Now build it bigger.
BTA is the operating infrastructure for the most ambitious advisors in luxury travel the technology, the contracts, the community, and the AI that lets you scale without sacrificing the quality that built your reputation.
BTA accepts a limited number of advisors each year. We look for established professionals with a proven book of business, a commitment to the luxury segment, and the ambition to grow.
The real problem
The industry runs on fragmented systems. You deserve something built differently.
Every advisor at your host agency is running a different tech stack.
CRM here. Itinerary tool there. A booking platform that doesn't talk to either. The result is friction, duplication, and hours lost every week to systems that were never designed to work together.
There is no shared knowledge base. No benchmarking. No best practices.
Top advisors need more than affiliation, they need a community where strategy is shared, performance is benchmarked, and the collective intelligence of a high-producing network is actually accessible.
Collaboration is nearly impossible when everyone is operating in silos.
Complex multi-advisor trips, referral partnerships, and peer learning all require a common platform. Without it, every collaboration becomes a coordination project.
Running a successful business requires more than bookings, it requires infrastructure.
Pricing strategy, client communication standards, supplier negotiation, marketing systems, financial benchmarks, the advisors growing fastest have these built in. Most host agencies don't provide them.

01, CRM & Practice Management
Every client. Every trip. One screen.
The BTA CRM is built for the complexity of luxury travel, not adapted from a generic sales tool.

When a traveler calls, everything is already on screen.

- Real-time task board tied to trips and clients
- Supplier directory with direct contacts at every hotel and DMC

06, Benchmarking & Best Practices
Know exactly where you stand. And what it takes to grow.
Most advisors operate without a single reference point for what “good” looks like. BTA changes that. Every advisor in our network has access to anonymized performance benchmarks, annual volume, commission rates, client retention, and average booking value, so you always know where you stand relative to your peers.
Alongside benchmarking, BTA maintains a living library of best practices built collaboratively by our advisor community, covering client communication, fee structures, proposal strategy, supplier negotiation, and more. When one advisor discovers a better way to work, the whole network benefits.

Built for scale
The advisors who will dominate the next decade are already building on infrastructure like this.
BTA's platform is not a set of features, it is an operating model. The CRM, the booking engine, the white-label portal, Iris Intelligence, and the Academy compound on each other. As your volume grows, the platform grows with you. There is no ceiling.
The community
A network of true professionals.
BTA is not a directory of part-time hobbyists. Every advisor in our network has been vetted, is active in the luxury segment, and is committed to the same standard of service you've built your reputation on.
