If you're a licensed travel advisor with IATA accreditation, you need more than a generic service contract. The travel industry comes with unique risks—airline cancellations, charter operator substitutions, supplier bankruptcies, visa denials, force majeure events, and clients who skip travel insurance then expect you to cover their losses. A standard independent contractor agreement won't protect you.
This done-for-you contract template is built specifically for travel advisors and is ready to go with an attorney's stamp of approval. After you receive instant access, just drop in your business details, IATA number, state registration, and fee structure. Then you're protected. You can count on this comprehensive, iron-clad contract to serve you well for years to come.
What's Inside:
This 22-section agreement covers everything unique to travel advisory services—from IATA accreditation disclosures and charter broker status to airline ticket restrictions, baggage policies, and pilot-in-command authority. It addresses the issues other contracts miss: travel documentation responsibilities, booking accuracy requirements, prohibited ticketing practices, travel insurance declination, and what happens when a client's flight gets cancelled, a charter operator substitutes aircraft, or a destination becomes inaccessible due to government travel restrictions.
This Contract Covers Situations Like:
- When a client's name doesn't match their passport and they miss their flight
- When an airline cancels and the client expects you to cover rebooking costs
- When a charter flight gets grounded for weather and the client demands a refund
- When a client declines travel insurance then tries to hold you responsible for trip cancellation losses
- When you're coordinating group travel and the hotel oversells the room block
- When a destination becomes inaccessible due to a travel ban, natural disaster, or pandemic
- When a client disputes a credit card charge for travel you've already booked and paid for
- When you need to share client passport data with airlines, hotels, and government agencies
- When a client shows up late and misses their charter departure
Best Suited For:
Travel advisors, travel agents, destination specialists, luxury travel planners, group travel coordinators, and anyone with IATA accreditation who books flights, accommodations, ground transportation, tours, cruises, or private charter services for clients.
