The travel business has become extremely competitve and is largely driven by price.  As such, travel operators, on the whole are competing on several levels in tough economic times with extremely tight margins to win and keep customers.

Smart travel operators are winning in three key ways:

  • Extending payment options for added customer convenience during the booking process
  • Offering value added services such as knowledgeable advice with experienced staff
  • Serving the needs of the market as a registered TICO member (Ontario)

TICO or the Travel Industry Council of Ontario is a non-profit, self-managed organization responsible for the administration and enforcement of the Ontario Travel Industry Act of 2002.  TICO's mission and mandate serves four key areas:

  • Consumer protection
  • Consumer education and awareness
  • Registration, inspection, supervision and discipline of registrants
  • Investigating and mediating disputes between consumers and registrants


If you are a travel operator registered with TICO, you fully understand the realities of today's marketplace.  The economic environment is tougher and your margins are far tighter due greater competition, higher operating expenses and a more demanding consumer which requires more time to consult or market to.

Admeris already processes for many travel operators that require expanded payment options.  Many have thanked us helping them offer Interac Online for their business because it can be far more competitive than credit card processing fees.  In fact, many travel agents have seen a dramatic rise in sales with less chargeback risk and faster administration of sales and deposits.  With Admeris, settlements occur the next day so that your business can continue to focus on sales and bookings, while our payment gateway solution takes care of the rest.

Interac Online virtually eliminates the inconveniences that still exist when booking for travel today.  Not surprisingly, some consumers still want to pay for their travel with something other than a credit card.   Until now, many have had to provide certified cheques or money orders, either mailing them or rushing to the travel operator's head office to make a payment and confirm their booking.  Obviously, this is extremely incovenient for consumers and for travel operators who then must handle administration of cheque and money order payments manually.

Call Admeris today and let's help your travel business get started with Interac Online, a unique payment method available to Canadian consumers whereby payments are made directly from their bank account.  Consumers pay with "cash" online without having to rush to your office or mail a cheque or money order payment to finalize their booking.  For your business, Interac Online also minimizes chargeback risks because money is in the bank with a next day settlement.
