Free listing · You stay in control of every conversation
RepBud Ready is a free directory of properties — lodges, hotels, camps, and accommodation businesses — seeking trade representation in source markets like the UK, US, Europe, Asia, and Australia. (DMCs and experience providers have dedicated Ready pages too.)
Travel industry sales representatives and rep companies use RepBud as their working tool. As part of that, they browse RepBud Ready listings to find new portfolio additions — properties they would be a good fit to represent in their markets. When a rep sees your listing and wants to work together, they approach you directly.
There is no listing fee, and RepBud stays out of the commercial relationship between property and rep. RepBud Ready exists to make matchmaking happen — the partnership belongs to you.
The Problem
Most property owners and managers know they need representation in source markets, but finding the right rep is harder than it sounds. There is no public directory of reps, no transparent way to compare them, and the typical route — cold outreach, trade show introductions, asking around the industry — is slow and inefficient.
Meanwhile, reps with capacity in their portfolios are actively looking for the right new properties to represent — they just don't know who is looking. RepBud Ready closes that gap.
How it works
Create your free RepBud Ready listing in under five minutes. Tell reps what you are, where you are, what markets you need representation in, and your commercial terms.
Active travel industry reps using RepBud browse RepBud Ready listings to find new portfolio additions. They search by destination, niche, market need, and commercial terms.
Interested reps contact you directly through your listing. You evaluate, negotiate, and decide. RepBud is not in the commercial conversation between you and the rep.
Once you appoint a rep, they use the paid RepBud platform to represent your property professionally — logging meetings with agents, generating monthly activity reports for you, and proving the work they do.
Frequently Asked Questions
A travel trade representative (or "rep") is an in-market sales professional or firm who sells your property to travel agents, tour operators, and high-end buyers in their region. A rep gives you a presence in source markets like the UK, US, Europe, or Australia without you having to fly out, attend trade shows in person, or build your own in-market sales team. They are the face of your property to the trade.
RepBud Ready is a free directory of properties seeking trade representation. List your property in under five minutes — and reps using RepBud can browse Ready listings to find new portfolio additions in your destination, niche, and price point. When a rep is interested, they contact you directly. RepBud is not in the middle of the commercial conversation.
No. Listing on RepBud Ready is completely free for properties seeking representation. There is no listing fee and no obligation. Once you appoint a rep, you and the rep agree commercial terms (retainer, commission, fam trip terms) directly — RepBud takes nothing from that arrangement.
Your listing includes the property name, location, type (lodge, hotel, camp, boutique accommodation), brief description, target source markets you want representation in, current commercial terms (commission rate, fam trip policy), and a contact for interested reps. You can include photos, your factsheet PDF, and any existing trade material.
Active RepBud subscribers — vetted travel industry sales reps and rep companies — can browse RepBud Ready listings as part of their paid subscription. Some listing data may also appear in public search results to help reps find you organically. You control what is public versus visible only to logged-in reps.
Reps using RepBud have verified profiles showing the markets they cover, the properties they currently represent, and the trade shows they attend. When a rep approaches you, you can review their profile, check their existing portfolio for conflicts, and request references. Take the same care you would with any commercial partnership.
You can list specifically for the markets where you need representation. Many properties have a UK rep but no US rep, or a European rep but no Asian rep. Specify in your listing which markets are open for representation, and reps will only approach you about those markets.
Time to representation varies. Properties in popular destinations with healthy commercial terms often hear from interested reps within weeks. Niche properties in emerging destinations may take longer. RepBud cannot guarantee representation, but RepBud Ready significantly increases visibility to the right people compared to traditional cold outreach.
