5 Ways to Earn More Money…with Goway
by Bruce Parkinson
Speaking with suppliers at conferences and events, we often hear that they wish more travel advisors would maximize their earnings and make more efficient use their time by taking advantage of company-specific incentives, loyalty programs, self-service tools and more. So we decided to offers suppliers a forum to promote the practices they believe will lead to higher earnings for advisors. This weekly series will run every Friday. To kick things off, Travel Market Report Canada spoke to Rares Dumitru, National Account Manager at Goway Travel.
Goway says it is committed to helping travel advisors earn more and expand their business while crafting tailor-made dream vacations. The company says the top way for travel advisors to earn money beyond commission is through the GowayPro Loyalty Program.
Sell Goway Like a Pro
“The more you book the more money you make,” said Dumitru. “You can earn rewards on every sale you make and reward levels are determined on the past year’s sales with Goway. Advisors can level up each year to earn more on each booking.”
In honour of Goway’s 55th Anniversary, every travel advisor that is a member of the GowayPro Loyalty Program has received $20 in their Goway Pro account. In total, that adds up to $550,000. When the account reaches a minimum of $50, it can be redeemed and used anywhere online where Mastercard is accepted.
“It’s a small way of saying thank you and helping our community earn more during our anniversary year,” said Dumitru. “It gives our partners a bit of a boost and reinforces that when you work with Goway, you can make more than your commission.”
Sell the World, See the World
The world of Goway is divided into six destination regions. When you sell five of those six within a calendar year, you earn a free fam trip for the next year. It’s a great way to explore the world and learn more about Goway’s destinations. Full details are here.

GowayPro is one of the most robust supplier loyalty programs in the marketplace, with many ways to boost income beyond commission. These include unique monthly incentives and monthly GowayPro Spotlights on one of Goway’s internal divisions. For example, the company is currently offering $50 bonus rewards on trips to the Americas for May.

To recognize its 55th Anniversary, Goway is launching the Micro Film Festival, celebrating social media storytelling with 55-second travel videos. Travel advisors have an exclusive invitation to participate.
