About Niftrip
Niftrip is an Australian host agency for home-based travel advisors. We give advisors full accreditation, preferred supplier rates, a ticketing desk, 24/7 backup and a platform that does the admin, with no split on their commission.
What makes us different
A modern platform
Supplier confirmations come into your Niftrip inbox and become bookings, invoices and itineraries with no typing. You can also paste in any text, and Niftrip reads it and adds or updates the booking for you, which leaves more of your time for clients and gives you your evenings back.
No split
You keep 100% of your at-source commission. You pay $99 a month and 1% of what you invoice clients, both + GST.
Your business stays yours
Your clients, contacts and domain stay yours, under your own brand. If you leave, you take a full export.
Backup when you need it
A Niftrip ticketing desk, everyday help in business hours, and 24/7 backup for ticketing and emergencies.
Our story
Niftrip is part of Pan Australian Travel, an agency established in Melbourne in the 1950s and now based in Sorrento, Victoria. It has run through every era of modern travel and is a member of the Magellan Travel Group.
Jake Hower started in travel in 2004 and bought into Pan Australian Travel in 2009. In 2013 the agency moved solely to the host-agency model, before it became popular in Australia. Today Jake owns it outright.
We've hosted independent contractors since the early 2000s, and they tend to stay. The agency's previous owner stayed on as a contractor after selling to us, well into her 80s.
We cover most of the travel industry: cruise, tours, groups, work with DMCs, religious tours and much more.
We want to see our advisors succeed, and we have the platform, the experience and the team to make sure they do.
