Our Company
Great travel options with the ability to support ending homelessness.
No matter what your business with us, you can have your cake and eat it too - travel and know a donation will be made on your behalf to help people out of homelessness. We are a socially-conscious company. Why us?
Why is our travel different than other online services?
Unlike others, there are 4 options for you:
1. Online booking - just like other sites. You don't need to contact us directly unless you want to. This probably is no different than what you already do. If you are ready to book just go to Book Your Own now. (You will be take to our very complex booking site.)
However, there IS a big difference even here. Why is our online booking more outstanding? See the bottom of the page.
2. Online travel agent chat. Right from the booking page. Sometimes you have questions. With other sites, you have no one to ask about your travel. Why? Because they do not have real travel agents. We have agents available at the click of the mouse.
3. Direct personal service. For your leisure travel needs, Travel 2 Support itself will help you one-on-one. You don't have to use our site at all.
4. Travel clubs. No doubt about it. When you are part of a larger group, you get better rates. Think of Sams Club/Cosco clubs that buy in bulk and pass the savings on to you. Imagine that with travel. No contracts. No timeshares. Here, you will find hundreds of near wholesale offers from all over the world. Check out our optional membership tab.
How can we give to nonprofits? Here's how it works:
When you book through us, we use an award-winning travel company with all their technology. The travel vendor pays our host company a commission. Commissions our host company makes, they share with us. We turn around and donate to nonprofits. So if you haven't directly given to a nonprofit don't feel too guilty. Just book travel with us.
Example: You book a cruise through us. The cruise line pays a booking commission to our parent company. (By the way, often the price you would pay directly to them is the same price we will get for you. They just keep the commission for themselves.) Our parent company then splits that commission with us. We turn that commission into a donation.

Our online booking is different - a complex answer.
We use a parent company that has advanced propietary travel technology that checks several places all at once rather than just one at a time.
For instance, how many of you go to one big travel site, then check another big travel site, and then go to another big travel site. Then you go back to the first only to find that the second has just changed its prices?
Welcome to the Global Distribution Services:
It is - a worldwide computerized reservation network used as a single point of access for reserving airlines, hotels, rental cars, and many other travel services. The 4 major GDSs are Amadeus, Galileo, Sabre, and Worldspan also known as automated reservation services (ARS) or computerized reservation services (CRS).

Our Technology:
The technology we use checks 3 of the 4 GDSs saving you time right from the start.
When you go to one of the bigger sites, they are connected to only one GDS. Therefore you need to hop around chasing a good price. Why not just use ours and just save time and money?
(Personally, previously, I had spent 2 hours of my time chasing a good price only to come out with a less than $20 difference. If your time is worth more than $10 per hour, you have just lost money trying to save a few bucks. And, just frustrating yourself by chasing all these sites. Think about it.)
Travel 2 Support would personally like to help you book that cruise you have always wanted to take, but haven't gotten around to doing yet. Perhaps you have friends or even a whole group prime for a cruise experience. Call one of the phone numbers below or go to Contact Us.
Give us an idea of where you want to go and what you want to see, i.e., the Bahamas, Caribbean, a European river cruise, Alaska, Panama Canal, or the Mexican Rivera. If you don't think you can afford a cruise, you may be wrong. They can start as low as just a couple of hundred dollars per person.
