How to join my agency’s account

In this guide, we’ll go over the multiple ways that you can join your host agency. Your host/admin must have created an agency account before you can register under their account. If your host/admin has not created the agency account, you will not be able to join your agency.

Joining your agency’s account

There are three ways that you can join your agency account:

icon #1

You can sign up yourself

 Should you be proactive and sign up independently, you can do so. However, you will need your host agency’s Partner ID (e.g. P12345678) or another Accreditation ID (IATA, CLIA, CCRA, TRUE, or ASTA number) in order to successfully join your agency’s account.

If you are not sure what your host agency’s Accreditation IDs or partner ID is, please contact your host.

Why am I using Tripadvisor to create my account and login?

We realize that using multiple usernames and passwords can be overwhelming, therefore the Travel Agent Program uses the Tripadvisor Account.  The TripAdvisor Single-Sign-On login is also more robust and well-maintained throughout our organization resulting in less login issues for you and your agency.
