Quark Expeditions has announced the launch of its new Quote and Hold tool designed to aid travel advisors with their bookings. This tool allows advisors to generate quotes in real-time, secure cabin space around the clock and handle administrative tasks independently.

“Our commitment to innovation is driven by our desire to empower travel advisors with the tools they need to confidently and efficiently sell polar travel," said Sebastian Canape, director of trade marketing at Quark Expeditions. "The newly launched Quote and Hold tool will significantly enhance the advisor experience, allowing our advisors to deliver exceptional service with greater speed and precision than ever before.”

Travel advisors can access the new tool through Quark Expeditions' Partner Portal by navigating to the Tools and Apps section. The tool simplifies the process of creating quotes and placing holds, thus enabling quicker responses to client inquiries.

This launch is part of Quark Expeditions’ broader strategy to improve the travel advisor experience. In addition to the Quote and Hold tool, the company's Partner Portal and Brand Folder are resources that provide a comprehensive database for agents to access information on itineraries, promotions and seasonal launches.
