Travel advisors are gaining access to a wave of new resources designed to streamline bookings, build group business and support marketing efforts. Collette, Exodus Adventure Travels and Riviera Travel have each unveiled new initiatives aimed at helping advisors work more efficiently while growing sales.
Streamlining Advisor Support and Booking Assistance
Riviera Travel is launching a new Support Desk feature within its travel advisor learning platform, Riviera Explorer. The new support function provides travel advisors with a faster, easier way to receive assistance with bookings, platform support, incentives and general trade-related questions all within one central hub.
Advisors first select whether they need help with river, yacht, ocean or solo cruising. From there, advisors choose the support category most relevant to their question, including:
- Booking & Customer Support
- Riviera Explorer Platform Support
- Incentives, Campaigns & Agent Benefits
- Trade Support Requests
- Training & Learning
This guided approach ensures advisors are directed to the most relevant information or support channel in fewer steps. The new Support Desk also gives advisors faster access to answers, easier navigation across Riviera Explorer and brings Riviera’s key support channels together in one place.

Helping Advisors Build More Profitable Group Business
Exodus Adventure Travels is launching its first-ever Private Groups Week, taking place June 8–12, 2026. The 5-day virtual training series is designed to help advisors start, scale and succeed in the group travel space. The programme will feature daily live sessions covering:
- Introduction to Groups with Exodus
- How to Market Your Groups
- Take Your Own Group Trip
- Top Trips by Theme
Advisors will also be able to take advantage of Exodus’ popular “Book 10, Go Free” incentive, offering a complimentary place on a departure once 10 paying passengers are confirmed.
