How can YTB Help?
YTB Provides your ministry with a customized
online booking engine. Participants become
travel partners. As partners book their travel
using your website it creates a consistent stream
of commissions paid by third party vendors. A
significant portion of these funds are paid to
your ministry as commissions. The booking engine
uses the same technology and provides the same
features and prices as other online booking
engines such as Expedia, Orbitz and
Travelocity.

ENHANCE YOUR PARTNERS OVERALL EXPERIENCE!
TURN VACATIONS INTO DONATIONS

• Imagine having a seed sown into your ministry
  every time members, staff, associates and friends
  take a cruise, rent a car, stay in a hotel, book
  a flight, even purchases theater tickets. Just
  imagine what can happen when others recommend
  this service to their friends and families. The
  commissions are redirected away from secular
  companies back into the kingdom of God.
• Imagine the increase!
