iExplore.com pays up to 15% on its Exclusives

CHICAGO, May 13, 2002- Adventure travel Web site iExplore.com, which is partly owned by National Geographic, began a travel agent commission program for some of its tours.

The commissions of 10% to 15%, including overrides, are on iExplore Exclusives, a line of about 25 products launched last year.

The commissions are 10% for up to $50,000 in annual production, 12.5% for $50,000 to $100,000, and 15% for bookings of more than $100,000.

The iExplore Exclusives product features flexible departure dates and flexible group sizes. Itineraries range from Alaska excursions to tours of Tanzania and Vietnam.

Air can be booked through iExplore.com, but it is not commissionable.

Launched in February 2000, iExplore.com features some 3,000 trips from about 130 suppliers. Trips range from canal and river cruises to rain-forest ventures.

The bulk of iExplore's consumer business is package tours through third-party partners, and these are noncommissionable.

Agents also can contact Marlyn Kray at (800) 439-7567.
