Travel Agent Guidelines for Kenai Backcountry Adventures
Kenai Backcountry Adventures (KBA) is a leading Alaska adventure travel company dedicated to helping travelers with an adventurous spirit fulfill their dreams. You can trust us to provide your clients with safe, memorable experiences that will exceed their expectations.
For the upcoming season, we are offering a range of unique adventures—from leisurely journeys to more physically demanding expeditions. Many of our trips take place in remote areas where KBA is the only licensed guide and outfitter, giving your clients exclusive access to Alaska’s hidden treasures. Our hallmark is exceptional leadership, personalized service, and one-of-a-kind itineraries.
Planning Made Easy
Our website is a valuable tool for both you and your clients when planning an adventure. Each trip can be easily browsed by destination or activity, with detailed itineraries available for every option. We also offer specialized trips, such as Family Adventures, Wildlife Tours, Multiday Expeditions, Rafting, Hiking, and Photography Trips.
If you or your client requires a more customized itinerary, don’t hesitate to contact our main office at 866-630-0927. We are happy to assist.
Small Group & Private Adventures
Many of our group trips operate with as few as 2-4 passengers (check individual itineraries for group size details). We also provide Private Adventures with pre-designed itineraries, ideal for private groups or solo travelers. Additionally, most of our group tours can be adapted as FIT (Fully Independent Travel) for groups of 8 or more. For those seeking something truly unique, we can create custom itineraries tailored to your clients’ specific needs.
As a valued Travel Agent partner, you can also benefit from the ability to develop exclusive trips for your agency, complete with special rates just for your clients. Reach out for more details on how we can create something custom for you.
Commission Structure
Kenai Backcountry Adventures offers a commission structure designed to reward your partnership:
- Standard Commissions: We generally pay 10% to 20% commission on the base per person price of group, private, and special trips.
- Exclusions: Commissions do not apply to tier charges, internal airfare, single supplements, park fees, extra hotel nights, insurance, taxes, or trip extensions.
- Exclusive Client Relationship: To qualify for full commission, the travel agent must make the booking with KBA. If the client books directly with KBA, no commission will be payable to the travel agent unless prior arrangements have been made in writing.
- Partial Client Direct Interaction: If the agent books the trip but the client works directly with KBA after the initial booking, the agent’s commission will be reduced to 5%.
- Discounted Trips: If a trip has been discounted, commission will be based on the discounted base per person price.
- Payment of Commissions: Commissions are paid after the trip is completed, on a monthly basis, and once all required paperwork (including a copy of your IATA list and a W-9) is on file with KBA’s accounting department. Additionally, agents are required to submit an invoice to KBA to process the commission payment.
NET Rates: In addition to our commission structure, Kenai Backcountry Adventures also offers NET rates for qualified travel trade partners. Contact us for more details on how to access these exclusive rates.
Please note that some special trips may be exempt from travel agent commissions.
