What is Velocity?

Velocity is the rewards program launched in 2003 exclusively designed by and available to agents of Travel Professionals International (TPI). TPI has been Canada’s home-based travel agent leader since 1994, with a current base of Associates (what TPI refers to its agents as) of over 700 spread across the entire country. Innovators in the industry, TPI is currently of aware of no other home based agent network in the world that provides a custom-designed exclusive reward program of this depth to its agents.

How does the Velocity program work?

It’s simple - attend events, make commission, support TPI’s Preferred Partners or receive industry designations, and you receive points that go toward great rewards!

What types of rewards are there?

Here is just a few of the rewards that Associates receive at varying levels in the Velocity Program:

> Complimentary Club Velocity reward trip (2009 is set to take place in Barbados!)
> Incremental reward dollars toward personal travel.
> Complimentary TPI Annual Conference registration.
> Complimentary GDS access.
> Exclusive access to Club Velocity social and networking events
> PLUS! Extra commission on all bookings

No other home based agent network in the world provides a custom-designed exclusive reward program of this depth to its agents.

Tracking your points is easy!

The state-of-the-art Velocity system uses a custom-developed application on TPI’s technologically advanced agent portal site, called MyTPI. At this site, Associates can easily enter their qualifying Velocity points for participation, designations, etc. into a form. Upon submission of this, Associates are able to easily track their Velocity points over the years and months to compare growth. The system automatically keeps track of their points accumulated from their commission, along with bonus points earned from bookings with Preferred Partners and adds that to their point mix. By analyzing the data that is both entered manually by the Associate and entered automatically by the system, their Velocity designation is then calculated and approved by TPI Head Office in January of each year, for publication by 1 February of each year.

Spirit of Velocity Award

The Spirit of Velocity Award is given out at the annual conference each year to the Associate who has achieved the highest amount of points accumulated each year, regardless of their status level achieved. This shows their commitment to training, education, and participating in TPI and Preferred Partner events and programs.

Sounds amazing! How do I join?

It’s easy! Simply become a home based agent in Canada’s premier agent network with TPI, and you’ll automatically have a chance to be enrolled in the Velocity program. As soon as you sign on, you are eligible to begin collecting points and receiving rewards!
