The Hive is revolutionizing how advisors research cruises, DMCs, wholesalers, hotels, and more. This platform offers a centralized database of suppliers, making it easier to search and organize travel resources. Advisors can save time with detailed supplier profiles and advanced search filters.

In this episode, Whitney Schindler, the founder of The Hive, shares the backstory and the challenges that inspired the creation of the platform.

Who Is The Hive For?

The Hive is designed for travel advisors of all experience levels who are frustrated by the fragmentation of information within the travel industry. As an advisor, you often rely on personal knowledge or the limited options provided by your DMC/wholesaler in a quote. But what if you need more information? Or haven’t found the right DMC for a client inquiry? The Hive is a portal that consolidates all supplier information into one interactive online space, making it ideal for both new and seasoned travel advisors.

What Does The Hive Do?

Initially envisioned by Whitney as a shared master spreadsheet, The Hive quickly evolved into a sophisticated online tech platform after discussions with peers and tech industry experts.

The Hive offers access to a vast database of suppliers with detailed profiles, including reviews, insights, and comprehensive product information. Travel advisors can interact on the platform, sharing insights from recent experiences and reading reviews from their peers.

Advisors can create detailed queries and drill down to find the perfect solution for each client inquiry quickly and efficiently. While the platform is designed for advisors, suppliers can provide extensive profiles and updates, keeping advisors informed about the latest offerings and trends in the industry.

Fortunately, subscriptions to The Hive are incredibly reasonable, offering a wealth of information at your fingertips and providing great value for the investment.

Streamlining Proposals & Revolutionizing Knowledge-Sharing

The Hive’s goal is to empower travel advisors by providing a robust, centralized platform that simplifies research efforts and enhances their ability to serve clients. The platform’s true strength will be realized as more advisors join, contribute their experiences, and leverage the wealth of information available.

The Hive is here to revolutionize how travel advisors access and use supplier information, making their jobs easier and their client experiences exceptional.
