New platform for travel consultants

Four Hundred launches B2B platform for luxury travel consultants

The New York lifestyle management company Four Hundred has founded the B2B platform Four Hundred by Design (FHxD ) for international luxury travel consultants. They receive free access to selected high-end hotels, resorts, villas and private residences. The program currently comprises around 200 accommodations in more than 40 countries, primarily boutique and/or independent hotels. The portfolio includes the J.K. Place Rive Gauche in Paris, The Newbury Boston, Cap Rocat in Mallorca and the Castello di Reschio in Umbria, as well as the luxury villas Aurora at Sandy Lane in Barbados and Casa Aramara on the Riviera Nayarit in Mexico.

The travel consultants will remain the customer's contact person for all bookings and will be able to request and manage bookings after registration. They will also benefit from up to 30 percent commission and a faster payout, it is said. They also receive seasonal look books, insider tips on properties and experiences by location, FHxD insider newsletters and can take part in webinars.
