For hotels, lodges, tour operators and DMCs
Our advisors don't compare your rate. They recommend you, or they don't.
Outdoor Travel Adventures builds bespoke itineraries for travelers who ask us what to book and then book it — longer stays, higher spend, and no price grid anywhere in the process. Whether you are in those itineraries comes down to one thing: whether the advisor building one can see what you actually have. That is what the partner portal is for.
Free, and not a booking channel — advisors still book with you directly. Twenty minutes to describe a property. Two minutes to keep it true.
Why partners use it
Being in here is being recommended.
Most of what goes wrong between a supplier and an agency is a fact that changed and did not travel. Everything below is either a reason an advisor trusts what they see here, or a reason it is still true by the time they see it.
Reviewed before an advisor ever sees it
Everything you submit is checked by OTA before it reaches an advisor. That is slower than self-publishing and deliberately so: it is the reason an advisor treats what they find here as a recommendation rather than a search result, and the reason properties in this portal get put in front of a client rather than found by one.
Sold on what makes you different, not on a rate
Our advisors match on the things a rate grid cannot hold — the guide who actually knows the valley, the room worth the upgrade, the week the light is right. Describe those once, in the fields we match on, and you come up for the trips you are genuinely right for.
Advisors see what is true today
A closure, a renovation or a week of limited capacity reaches the advisors who already have clients booked with you — the same day you record it, not when someone calls to reconfirm. Nothing costs a supplier a relationship faster than an advisor learning about a change from their own client.
Photography with the rights attached
Upload an image once and tell us what we may do with it. Our advisors and editors use it knowing they are allowed to — which is why your property gets shown rather than a stock photo of somewhere similar.
Inside the portal
What you get on day one.
These five sections are open to every partner from the moment we set you up.
Dashboard
Where things stand, and what is waiting on you.
- Listings we have sent back for more detail, in one place.
- Unfinished drafts, with the step you stopped at.
- Where to go next when you are new and the portal is empty.
My Inventory
The properties, tours and experiences our advisors can see. Everything you add is reviewed by OTA before it goes live.
- A five-step wizard — basics, details, availability, media, publishing — that saves as you go.
- Drafts nobody but you can see until you send them.
- We email you when a listing is approved, or if we need more from you.
Operations
Closures, renovations and limited capacity. What you record here reaches the advisors who already have clients booked with you.
- Date windows against a specific product, with a note for advisors.
- Closure, renovation, limited or open — labelled so nobody has to interpret it.
- Recorded once, seen by everyone selling you.
Media Library
Your photography, shared across every listing. Upload it once, tell us what we may do with it, and our advisors and editors can use it with confidence.
- Usage rights recorded against each image, not assumed.
- One library serving all of your listings.
- Replace an image everywhere by replacing it once.
Account
Your business details, how we reach you, and who on your team can sign in.
- Contacts by role, so a rate question and an operations question reach different people.
- You authorize your own colleagues by email — no ticket to us.
- Sign in with a work Microsoft or Google account, or a link sent to your inbox.
Content Center, Promotions, Co-Marketing, Co-op Ledger, Testimonials, Performance. Built and opening partner by partner rather than all at once. You will see them in your navigation, marked as coming, before they open to you — so nothing on this page is something you sign in and cannot find.
Getting started
Four steps, and none of them are a contract negotiation.
- 1
Ask for access
Tell us who you are and what you operate. There is no self-serve signup — we open the portal to partners we work with or want to.
- 2
We set your business up
We create your business record and authorize your first sign-in. From then on you add your own colleagues yourself.
- 3
Describe your product
The inventory wizard walks through basics, details, availability and photography. Save and come back — a draft keeps your place.
- 4
We review, then advisors see it
OTA checks each listing before it goes live. Once it is live, keeping it true is a two-minute job in Operations rather than a phone call.
How-to
See it before you commit to it.
Short walkthroughs of the jobs you will actually do in the portal — adding a listing, recording a closure, uploading photography, giving a colleague access.
Questions
The ones we are always asked.
- What does it cost?
- Nothing. The portal is how we work with partners; it is not a listing fee or a subscription.
- Is this a booking channel?
- No. Advisors book with you the way they already do. The portal is where the product, the availability picture and the marketing work live — not the reservation.
- Who can sign in from my team?
- Anyone you authorize. We set up the first person; after that you add and remove colleagues yourself on the Account page, using whatever work login they already have — Microsoft, Google, Apple, Facebook, or a link emailed to them.
- How long does a listing take to go live?
- It goes to OTA for review once you submit it. We email you when it is approved, or if we need more detail before it can be.
- Do I get every section listed on this page?
- The five sections marked as open are available to every partner. The rest are opened partner by partner as we roll them out — you will see them in your nav, marked as coming, before they open.
- What happens to photography I upload?
- It is used by our advisors and editors within the usage rights you record against it, on OTA itineraries and brand sites. Record narrower rights and we hold to them.
Tell us what you operate.
There is no self-serve signup — we open the portal to partners we work with or want to. A short form is enough to start that conversation.
