Market entry and representation

Travel market entry, local leadership and GSA representation

Travel Spark helps international travel businesses decide how to enter a market, build the commercial model and establish local leadership, sales capability and representation.

When this work is useful

  • An international travel business needs a credible Australian or New Zealand entry plan.
  • Leadership needs local market knowledge before committing fixed cost.
  • The proposition, product and pricing need to fit local buying behaviour.
  • A local partner pipeline, sales presence or GSA model must be established.
  • The business needs in-market leadership while it builds a permanent team.
