Booking tool gives travel advisors the capabilities of a GDS—without the need to know the GDS

NEW YORK (February 11, 2025) – SNAP, the industry-leading booking tool from Travel Leaders Network, is being embraced by members with continuous enhancements to make it even easier for travel advisors to serve their clients and make more money.

SNAP uses a graphical interface so that users with no GDS experience can easily book hotel, car, and in the United States, air for their clients. Combined with Cruise Complete and Empower Cruise, Travel Leaders Network members can access a suite of booking tools that cover the gamut of travel.

Since its launch in April 2024, Travel Leaders Network has added over 16,000 agents across hundreds of member agencies who are experiencing the ability to fully serve their customers via a GDS booking platform, by selling air, hotel and car. Yet even with its GDS power, SNAP runs as booking site where users do not need to have any experience to confidently book travel.

Canadian users will soon join the U.S. in being able to book air on SNAP. Beta testing will begin in February 2025. Christine James, Vice President, Canada said, “Our Canadian members love SNAP for hotel and car rental bookings. They have been watching the success American members have had with air and are eager to earn more commission and better serve their customers with SNAP air bookings.”

“With SNAP, there’s no need to learn any type of code,” said John Lovell, CTC, President of Travel Leaders Network. “If you can use a computer, you can use SNAP—it’s as simple as that. But even though SNAP is easy for users, it’s a complex operation behind the scenes. Our team has worked tirelessly to put together something that maximizes earning potential for Travel Leaders members. And it is easily accessible via the single sign-on on Agent Universe. We’re serious about giving our members the most opportunities to make money, and we are putting our money where our mouth is, with six new hires in the field to support SNAP users. It’s an exciting time to be a SNAP user!”
