The COVID crisis has changed the way of doing business and selling tourism. To help tour operators make sense of the new tourism reality I wrote an article for The Good Tourism Institute that gives you tips for finding new business partners and customers from Europe once tourism recovers.
Please note with the travel advisories in Europe changing rapidly it is even more important to figure out who can travel where, when and how. Also check this recent article by Tourwriter.
In the meantime check this overview of OTAs for inbound tour operators/DMCs (with more and more having a focus on sustainable tourism):
B2C distribution channels with a sustainable tourism focus
Regular B2C
Safari / Africa focus
CBT tour and activity distribution channels

Also check this great article on multiday tour list options from Arival.
Please note: the list is a work-in-progress and will be updated every now and again. If you see OTAs listed that are no longer in business or have other OTA tips that I should add then do let me know!
