Frequently asked questions from travel agents
Can travel agents charge a commission for referring clients for travel medicine services?
No, commissions for referring for any kind of medical service are illegal (and severe penalties apply!). The Travel Doctor-TMVC makes sure that the value of referral is in keeping your clients well with the most professional and up-to-date service, so that they come back to you again.
How can travel agents tell clients which vaccines are required for each destination?
We understand that you are asked this question all the time, and we know there is no simple answer, as the recommendation for any individual depends on several factors. That is why we have developed online resources such as the Destination and Disease Facts to provide you with a guide to assist clients. You'll also find a wealth of information on a range of popular topics on our Healthy Travel Facts section. For regular updates regarding outbreaks across the world, check our Health Alerts to keep updated.
Does using Travel Doctor-TMVC mean that my clients are charged more?
Just the opposite. Using Travel Doctor-TMVC saves your clients money and time, as our experience and expertise means that travellers only get what they need, at the most competitive prices. Our surveys show many travellers have noted that we saved them money compared to using their GP.
Resources for your business
We also want to ensure that your clients do not end up with unnecessary vaccinations and costs, as so commonly occurs at less professional services. Our one-stop shop, with trained and experienced staff, ensures your clients get value for money.
The advantages to you are:
- You know your clients are being professionally managed and not getting unnecessary treatments.
- You save time and worry with an easy way to refer your clients.
- You ensure that you have met your duty-of-care obligations to your clients and are avoiding any possible litigation because travellers were not aware of current health risks while travelling.
