THE FARBOUND WAY

Better trips start with better people. Better trips for your clients.

For premium private travel, the difference is in the judgement: who guides the day, how the route is paced, where the client stays and who takes responsibility when plans change.

Veteran Tour Directors
Experienced trip leadership
Senior trip leaders who bring context, judgement and continuity across complex multi-stop private travel.
Specialist local guides
Expertise matched to the place
Historians, naturalists and destination specialists chosen for the experience, not one generic guide expected to cover everything.
Relationships built locally
Access with substance
Trusted hotels, hosts and local specialists help us create visits and encounters beyond a standard supplier list.
BUILT FOR THE TRADE

Two kinds of partner. One standard on the ground.

FOR TRAVEL ADVISORS & RETAIL AGENTS

A South Asia team for your client.

Most advisor enquiries begin with a client, not an off-the-shelf itinerary. Share their dates, interests, pace, hotel preferences and budget, and Farbound will build a tailor-made private programme around them.

TAILOR-MADE BY DEFAULT
Built around the traveller, not a template.

We shape the route around the individual brief, then prepare a client-ready itinerary and price for you to review and share.

Tailor-made trip design
Built around the individual client, not adapted from a fixed package.
Co-branded client-ready itineraries
Polished proposals carrying your agency identity alongside Farbound, ready for you to review and share.
Your requested commission included
Tell us the percentage you want included; we incorporate it into the client-facing price.
Your client, protected
Farbound operates the trip without marketing or selling directly to your traveller.
No booking minimums. No platform fee. One portal for enquiries, itineraries and confirmations.

GROUND OPERATIONS
How it works

From brief to costed programme.

Farbound can return indicative pricing the same working day, followed by a final costed programme within 24–48 hours once the core brief is complete.

01

Send the brief

Destinations, dates, party size, rooming, hotel level, interests and budget — through the portal or directly to the trade desk.

02

Same-day indicative price

A realistic cost indication from our pricing desk, so your team can respond while the enquiry is still live.

03

Costed proposal in 24–48 hrs

Day-by-day routing, named hotels, inclusions and commercial terms, with white-label or co-branded documents where configured.

04

We operate. You keep the client.

Local teams, drivers, specialist guides and Tour Directors deliver the trip. Your Farbound coordinator stays accountable to your team throughout.

THE PARTNERSHIP

What you can
hold us to.

Clear expectations from the commercial relationship to what happens while your client is travelling.

01
Your client stays yours
Farbound does not market or sell directly to partner clients. If the client books directly with Farbound, you get lifetime commissions on their booking.
02
Advisor commission, incorporated
Tell us the commission percentage you want included in the client-facing price. We structure the final proposal accordingly.
03
Confidential net rates for operators
Approved tour operators and wholesalers can work from trade net rates and control their own selling price and commercial model.
04
White-label or co-branded documents
Selected proposals and client documents can carry your agency identity where configured.
05
Clear response times
Indicative pricing can return the same working day where the brief allows it, with final costed proposals in 24-48 hours once the brief is complete.
06
24/7 in-trip support
Urgent issues while clients are travelling are handled by the operating contact and Farbound support structure shared before departure.
07
One partner workspace. No platform fee.
Enquiries, proposals, confirmations and commercial records can stay together without a separate platform subscription.

TRADE QUESTIONS

What partners ask before the first brief.

What advisors and operators ask before they send us a first brief.

How quickly do you quote?
Same-day indicative pricing is possible where the brief allows it. A final costed proposal normally follows within 24-48 hours once the brief is complete. Complex groups, festival dates or unusual contracting may require longer, which we will flag upfront
What commission do you pay?
Advisors: 10–15% per booking, portal-tracked. Operators can request confidential net rates instead. You can mix models by booking. Make sure to tell us the commission percentage you want included in the client-facing price. Farbound incorporates it into the final price so the itinerary is ready for you to review and share with your client.
How does the lifetime commission work?
A traveller you introduce stays linked to your account. If they book with us again directly — without you in the loop — the commission still goes to you.
Do you protect our client relationship?
Yes. Farbound does not market or sell directly to partner clients. Our operating teams naturally communicate with travellers while delivering the trip, but the commercial relationship remains with your agency.
Which countries do you cover?
India, Nepal, Bhutan and Sri Lanka and the rest of Indian subcontinent. Farbound remains the partner point of accountability across the programme, including multi-country itineraries.
Do you handle both FIT and groups?
Yes. Private FIT is Farbound’s core format, and we also operate private small groups with vehicles, guides and senior Tour Director support structured around the route and group size
White-label documents?
Yes, for configured partner accounts. Selected proposals and client documents can use your agency identity while Farbound remains responsible for the agreed ground operation.
Are there any platform fees?
No separate platform subscription is charged to approved partners. The workspace keeps enquiries, proposals, confirmations and commercial records together.
