Travel the World (TTW) has launched two exclusive Windstar fly-stay-cruise packages to French Polynesia, giving travel agents a single, fully bundled product to sell and earn a generous commission on, instead of piecing together flights, hotels, transfers and a cruise from separate suppliers.
As the packages combine everything into a single booking, agents no longer need to coordinate multiple suppliers to put a Tahiti itinerary together for clients. The whole package earns a commission, making it a strong commercial addition to any agent’s South Pacific offering.
The timing capitalises on Air Tahiti Nui’s new direct service between Sydney and Papeete from December 2026, which significantly shortens the journey from Australia and brings French Polynesia within easier reach for Australian travellers.
Air Tahiti’s new service combined with a fully bundled package makes it easier for agents to open the conversation with clients as it removes the two biggest barriers to selling Tahiti: the perception that it is hard to get to and hard to plan.
These done-for-you packages are available exclusively through Travel the World, allowing agents to confidently sell what has traditionally been seen as a complex, bucket-list-only destination without needing to manage the finer details themselves.
“Tahiti has always been a dream destination for Australian travellers, but the logistics have kept it out of reach for a lot of agents,” says Michael Betteridge, Chief Commercial and Operating Officer at Travel the World.
“With direct flights from Sydney now in play and everything bundled into one seamless, commissionable package, we’ve taken the hard part out of selling Tahiti. Agents can now focus on the sale, not the spreadsheet.”
