Commission option
If responsibletravel.com receives a commission on confirmed bookings the accommodation will confirm which leads have been converted into bookings, total value of the booking, dates of stay, number of pax and commission due on our extranet. Responsibletravel.com will then invoice accordingly. Please read our full terms and conditions.
Flat Fee option
Instead of responsibletravel.com generating e-mail enquiries when a traveller asks for more information only your telephone number and web address will appear.
Pros and cons of the systems
Responsibletravel.com aims to work with their members in order to promote responsible forms of travel and has had no problems with this ‘honesty system’ of confirming bookings. Responsibletravel.com also e-mails all the ‘booking enquiries’ asking them whether they made a booking as a result of using the site.

Pros and cons of the systems
- Flat fee pros – you will not be required to spend time tracking and declaring bookings
- Flat fee cons – we will not ask for client feedback and therefore no reviews will appear on your rt.com page (such reviews can significantly contribute to future sales). There will be no Pay Per Click campaign (these advertisements are funded by commission) or other offsite marketing initiatives available to you. As no email enquiries will be generated (as we reveal your website address and telephone number to the client) there will be no performance reports available for you to record your success on rt.com.
- Commission pros – high quality email enquiries are generated by rt.com for your sales staff to manage. According to your conversion rate you will be eligible for Pay Per Click advertising and other marketing initiatives. Performance reports will be available for you to monitor the success of your rt.com membership.
- Commission cons – you will need to ensure that you have a sufficient system in place which can track all rt.com bookings. You will then need to declare these to us on a regular basis (before the client travels).
