Selling Attraction Tickets Through Resellers, Hotels and Tour Operators
How UAE attractions and experiences sell through hotels, tour operators, travel agents and online platforms — commission, allocations, contracts, reporting and keeping control of inventory.

Most tourists don't book attractions directly. They book through hotel concierges, tour operators, travel agents and online platforms. Distribution can multiply your sales, as long as you keep control of inventory and pricing.
Main channels
| Channel | Notes |
|---|---|
| Hotel concierges | Recommendations and on-the-spot bookings |
| Tour operators & DMCs | Packages and group bookings |
| Travel agents | Individual and group travellers |
| Online travel platforms | Broad reach, higher commission |
| Corporate partners | Staff offers and incentives |
Commercial models
- Commission on each ticket sold
- Net rates: the reseller adds its own margin
- Allocations: a set number of tickets per day for a partner
- Free-sale: partners sell from live availability
Keep control
- One inventory across all channels to prevent overselling
- Partner-specific codes or links to track every sale
- Rate parity rules in contracts, if you need them
- Live availability for partners instead of fixed allocations
- Clear cancellation terms for each partner
Reporting
Monthly statements per partner: tickets sold, redeemed, no-shows and commission. Settle on time, because reliable partners book more.
Groups
Tour operators bring groups. Offer group rates, named or unnamed tickets and dedicated entry. See group tickets and bulk bookings.
