A useful starting point
Make the right choices from the start.
Wholesale planning requires repeatability without treating every departure as identical. Define the core route, hotel standard, meal basis and operating model, then identify the elements that vary by date or group size. A seasonal series may need separate availability checks for each departure. Volume expectations are commercial assumptions, not confirmation that inventory is held.
Compare your options
Use these distinctions to shape the enquiry. They describe planning alternatives, rather than confirmed inventory or priced offers.
| Planning choice | What to consider | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Core itinerary | A stable route and service basis | Use a controlled version for repeat enquiries |
| Date-specific file | Availability and actual participant count | Reconfirm variable services |
| Commercial schedule | Deposits, releases and cancellation | Document separately for each agreement |
Details that make the difference
Ask how substitutions will be approved if a preferred property is unavailable. Set a release schedule for tentative services and clarify whether any room or transport allotment actually exists. Keep supplier conditions separate from the agency’s own retail policy so a client cancellation promise does not exceed the contracted flexibility.
Trade pricing, allotments, departure status and any special operating commitments need a written agreement. Confirm the currency, validity, rooming and participant assumptions, release dates and cancellation conditions. Public planning content is not a live supplier tariff, account approval or booking confirmation.

Questions, clearly answered.
Does a wholesale enquiry guarantee an allotment?
No. Any allotment, release period or volume agreement must be explicitly confirmed in writing by the relevant parties.
What needs to be confirmed before booking?
Trade pricing, allotments, departure status and any special operating commitments need a written agreement. Confirm the currency, validity, rooming and participant assumptions, release dates and cancellation conditions. Public planning content is not a live supplier tariff, account approval or booking confirmation.
