2 Research and network

Once you have a clear picture of your business, you need to do some research and networking to find and connect with other tour operators or suppliers who can offer you something that you can't or don't. You can use online platforms, directories, databases, forums, blogs, social media, and reviews to find out more about their products, services, prices, reputation, and customer feedback. You can also attend trade shows, events, conferences, workshops, and webinars to meet them in person, exchange contacts, and build relationships.

We need to know our providers and their back backgrounds, we check their operations and their crisis management, along with whom they get their services from.

3 Negotiate and communicate

After you have identified and contacted some potential partners, you need to negotiate and communicate with them to establish the terms and conditions of your collaboration. You need to be clear and honest about what you can offer and what you expect from them. You need to discuss and agree on the scope, duration, quality, quantity, delivery, payment, commission, promotion, and evaluation of your partnership. You also need to communicate regularly and effectively to ensure that you are on the same page and that you can resolve any issues or conflicts that may arise.

4 Deliver and monitor

Once you have finalized and formalized your partnership agreement, you need to deliver and monitor your performance and results. You need to ensure that you provide your customers with consistent and high-quality services that meet or exceed their expectations. You need to keep track of your bookings, sales, revenues, costs, feedback, and satisfaction levels. You also need to monitor your partner's performance and results and give them constructive feedback and recognition.

5 Review and improve

Finally, you need to review and improve your partnership on a regular basis. You need to evaluate the outcomes and impacts of your collaboration and compare them with your initial goals and expectations. You need to identify the strengths and weaknesses of your partnership and look for ways to improve your efficiency, effectiveness, and competitiveness. You also need to appreciate and celebrate your achievements and successes and thank your partner for their contribution and support.
