We would like to give you an invitation to join us as an Affiliate/Partner and let us help market your good service and products.
Shoretours.com is a marketing and listing site. We do not do any booking or fulfillment ourselves.
We simply want to become a niche marketing site as the ultimate source for shore tours and excursions, a one stop site for island, port, and local activities.
Anyone may purchase tours from our Affiliate Brokers/Travel Venders or go direct to the tour operators listed world wide on our site.

The Brokers or Travel Venders on our home page allow shopping cart purchases or the customer may contact them on their contact forms about their tours/services, commissions, group, and incentive custom needs. There is a sales pitch provided about the Brokers service, but no name is displayed. We are only set up for travel agents to receive commissions through the vender/brokers not direct through the Tour Operators themselves . All other tour operators listed are a direct marketing link. Travel agents must contact them direct for any commission arrangements. Yes, viewers may go direct to their web site and book direct.

The way this works with the other Affiliate/Brokers that have and will join with us is this:
What ever they pay travel agents they simply pay shoretours the same commission or more depending on how excited they are about getting these extra leads. Shoretours will first supply a generic banner for you as an Affiliate/Brokers as you can see the Banners displayed on the our Home Page. Your banner will link to a complete listing of all your tours offered. Your banner will also be displayed on http://www.shoretours.com/dev/wwac/wwac_participants.asp as a WWAC™ Card participant. Each tour you offer will also have an individual listing with a picture and a descriptive paragraph by it and then a link to a full description page and shopping cart abilities. These tours will also be listed under their prospective Region/Port/Activity. When the customer pushes the submit button an e-mail would be sent to you with a link back to shoretours.com's secure order form where you would gather the new customer's information and credit card number. After that the rest is yours to do the fulfillment.

If a travel agent comes to shoretours.com and clicks on your banner and would like to organize a group tour through you, whatever commission you would offer to us, shoretours.com would want to split the commission with the travel agent as a finders fee for these tours. For Example: At 15% commission, you would offer the travel agent 10% and give us an override of 5%. It is all an honor system.

If the customer is a WWAC™ Card customer you simply give them the same discount as the commission. You then do not have to deal with any accounting and sending of checks for commissions or overrides to shoretours.com. The shopping cart simply gives the pre-determined discount to the WWAC™ Card Customer, after he enters his member number.
The WWAC™ Card Member may visit www.wwacard.com to find other member privileges. He must log in here to see the names reveled on the Affiliates/ Brokers Banners. Your company will have a Banner there that may reveal their name. WWAC™ Card Members can only get the discount on your tours by purchasing on shopping cart on shoretours.com the secure ( members Only ) site www.wwacard.com or by using their Member number on shoretours.com shopping cart that offers your tours.
Please see our Press Release starting November 17th, 2003: http://www.shoretours.com/news/pressrelease.asp
We will begin to offer the WWAC™ Card in stores in December.

We feel that we are not direct competition but a unique alternate source to create awareness of shoretours and bring you more customers. Please consider joining us.
