Agent Categorization:
1) BSP – Agents queuing bookings. IATA registered – More Suitable for white label business. Biggest
challenge – Utilizing the system for bookings.
2) Cash Agent – Pre-Paid Market. Suitable for B2B logins. High competition in the market.
3) 7-Day Credit Agent – These agent use portal only. Small set-ups, usually Non-IATA
4) Distributor downline – Agent requires funding. Supported by distributors on cash flow. Gets less
number of offers
Primary Objectives:
1) Lead Generation – Get new travel agents to sign-up for MTB services. Increase the overall market
penetration across all markets in India
2) Increase product awareness and share of bookings with existing agents. Help agents become more
successful by increasing their exposure to relevant products.
