BTA & TRS Program Update

Dear BTA,

WorldVentures and Rovia are pleased to announce the new Booking Travel Agent (BTA) and Travel Reservation Specialist (TRS) program. This enhanced program has been in the making for the past several months, and we are very excited about its potential. If you have not already activated your new Rovia travel portal, please go to your .com website—[username].rovia.com—and click on "LTC login" to access your new LTC back office.

I trust you will agree that our enhanced BTA product will provide you an opportunity to earn more travel commissions by participating in the booking process much like a traditional travel agent.

Our records indicate that you are, or have been paying monthly fees for service related to the prior BTA system offered by WorldVentures. Rovia wants to extend an opportunity and show our appreciation for any LTC that has participated with the prior WorldVentures BTA system, and we invite you to continue with the new Rovia BTA system.

Effective February 2009 Rovia will launch the new Rovia BTA/TRS portal, which will provide enhanced support and service, along with the tools and technology for processing your customers' bookings. As a Rovia BTA, you will be required to pass the BTA or TRS exam for full Global Distribution System (GDS) access. At that time, you will be provided access to the new LTC portal, which will allow you to take full advantage of the new services that are included in the BTA/TRS monthly fee.

In recognition of your loyal support and participation as an LTC and BTA, Rovia will stop further payment processing for the monthly BTA service fee until you have passed the BTA exam.

In addition, you will be given a credit for the BTA fees paid in prior months up to six months. For example, if you have been paying the BTA monthly fee for three months, you will receive three months' credit. If you paid seven months you will receive six months of credit. Credits will be given in the form of future monthly access to the BTA portal at no charge and the fee will not resume until after your credits have been used.

If you purchased the prior WorldVentures BTA system and stopped payment you can reactivate and take the BTA exam at no charge, and once you pass the exam you will receive access to the new Rovia BTA portal and receive credits based on prior monthly payments.

If you have not yet reactivated your BTA system and would like to take advantage of this offer, please email Michele Hurst at mhurst@rovia.com and include your ID number, phone number, email and we will reactivate your BTA account.

Starting February 2009, the Rovia BTA manager will offer webinars and other training related to the BTA system. So make sure to visit your LTC back office and access the corporate calendar to stay up-to-date with all the Rovia-related events and trainings. Once again, we appreciate your continued participation, and we look forward to working with you in the future.

If you have any questions feel free to contact me at rbaker@rovia.com.
 

Sincerely,
Rob Baker
Executive Director
