Expedia TAAP (Travel Agent Affiliate Program), part of Expedia Partner Solutions, is celebrating winning ‘Best Up and Cross-selling Partner’ in the 2019 Vakantie Awards, organized by the Netherland’s TravMagazine on 26th January 2019.
The award, which was presented at the Reisgala in Noordwijk, recognises those companies who help their travel partners broaden their offering to holidaymakers. Expedia TAAP fought off fierce competition in this category from Bedsonline and Holiday Extras.
