10How Can YTB Help?
YTB provides a Private Label booking engine for
the non-profit to use and market to their members
and supporters. As members book their travel
using the website, it creates a consistent stream
of commissions paid by third party vendors. A
significant portion of these funds are paid to
the organization. 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.
