Travel agencies can now tap into Asia’s largest database of tours and activities and secure industry rates. BeMyGuest, Asia’s leading aggregator of local tours and activities, has launched a new B2B platform for travel agencies – ‘Agents Marketplace’ – in its bid to meet the needs of the traditional travel agencies who still make up the bulk of bookings in the travel industry.
The site features a booking engine that gives agents access to the site’s inventory of over 10,000 activities and tours in over 90 countries and 600 cities. These inventory and rates are drawn from more than 3,000 travel agencies, tour operators, attractions and transfer providers from all across Asia and beyond that have signed up with BeMyGuest.

One of the key benefits advertised is the ease of access to net rates, which enables agents to collect gross payments from clients and earn commissions almost instantaneously. The booking system is designed to be user-friendly – agents will receive e-vouchers once a booking is made. Currently available in both English and Mandarin, plans are afoot to add more Asian langauges this year. Agents can sign up for the platform at https://agents.bemyguest.com.sg/en.
“We created Agents Marketplace as a result of numerous requests from our current tours and activities providers, who want to sell to other providers already working with us and want to tap on the industry rates which we can get as a result of our distribution partnerships,” said Clement Wong, CEO at BeMyGuest.
The agents’ marketplace is the latest in a series of distribution channel expansions from BeMyGuest. Last year, the company announced an API integration with Ctrip and white label offerings with airline, hotel and car hire industry partners.
