B2B Travel Partner Program — Kashmir DMC for Travel Agencies & Tour Operators
Vertex Kashmir Holidays works as your Kashmir DMC and ground handling partner — hotels, houseboats, transportation, sightseeing, activities and wholesale Kashmir tour packages for domestic and international travel agencies, tour operators, DMCs and corporate travel companies.
B2B PRICING
How Our B2B Pricing Works
Default model
B2B Net Rate
Vertex provides a dynamic B2B net rate based on your travel dates, season, hotel/houseboat availability, room category, number of travellers, transportation, sightseeing, activities, itinerary requirements and supplier availability and pricing. You are free to add your own markup when quoting your customer.
Example (for illustration only)
- Vertex B2B Net Rate(for the given package): ₹50,000
- Your markup: ₹5,000
- Customer selling price: ₹55,000
- Partner markup: ₹5,000
Illustrative example only. The partner determines their own final selling price and markup.
Optional model
Commission
Some established partners prefer a commission model instead — you quote your customer directly and earn a commission on the selling price. This model is optional and subject to mutual agreement.
Example (for illustration only)
- Customer selling price (for the given package): ₹55,000
- Your commission: ₹5,000
- Vertex receives: ₹50,000
We do not rely on one fixed price for every Kashmir package. Every quotation is generated against your actual travel requirements and current availability, so rates vary by season, dates, hotel category and group size.
All quotations are subject to availability and confirmation. Rate validity is shown on each individual quotation.
Illustrative example only: a quotation issued on 23 August may be valid until 25 August, subject to availability. If a partner confirms after the validity period, we reconfirm availability and pricing before booking. The actual validity period is always stated on the individual quotation.
OUR APPROACH
Built for Mutual Growth
Our B2B model is designed to give travel partners room to earn while allowing Vertex to maintain the service quality and operational support required to deliver a successful Kashmir trip — competitive B2B net rates designed to leave room for partner markup. Preferential commercial terms may be considered as booking volume, consistency, payment reliability and the strength of the partnership grow.
WHAT YOU CAN BOOK
Kashmir Services for B2B Partners
As a Kashmir DMC for travel agents and tour operators, we handle the following on your behalf:
BRANDING OPTIONS
White-Label & Co-Branding
Vertex Branded
The default for B2B quotations and operational documents.
Partner White-Label
Customer-facing itineraries and vouchers prepared using your branding, when requested.
Co-Branded
Available for suitable, strategic partnerships.
White-label documentation applies primarily to customer-facing itineraries and vouchers requested by the partner. Supplier confirmations, internal operational documents and Vertex-side operational communications remain under Vertex's operational control.
White-label use does not transfer ownership of Vertex's intellectual property, itinerary templates, operational systems or supplier relationships.
RELATIONSHIP
Who Owns the Customer Relationship?
For partner-referred bookings, the partner retains the commercial customer relationship, while Vertex acts as the destination and operational partner. We may communicate directly with the traveller when required for operational coordination, transfers, hotel check-in, itinerary execution, emergency support or service delivery.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Kashmir DMC?
A Destination Management Company (DMC) is a local, on-ground travel operator that manages hotels, houseboats, transportation, sightseeing and complete tour execution in a specific destination. Vertex Kashmir Holidays acts as your Kashmir DMC, handling everything on the ground so you can focus on your own customer relationship.
What is a B2B Kashmir travel partnership?
A B2B partnership lets travel agencies, tour operators, DMCs and corporate travel companies work with Vertex to book Kashmir hotels, houseboats, transportation, sightseeing, activities and complete tour packages on behalf of their own customers, typically at a B2B net rate.
How do I become a B2B Kashmir travel partner?
Share your company or business details with our B2B team, and we'll review your partnership request, discuss your requirements and applicable commercial terms, and onboard you before you start sending Kashmir enquiries. Additional business verification may be requested for new or international partners.
How do Vertex B2B rates work?
Vertex provides a dynamic B2B net rate for each requirement, calculated based on travel dates, season, hotel and houseboat availability, room category, number of travellers, transportation, sightseeing, activities and current supplier pricing. Partners can add their own markup on top of this net rate.
Are Kashmir B2B rates fixed?
No. Kashmir travel costs vary by season, availability and requirement, so we do not rely on one fixed price for every package. Each quotation is generated against your specific dates and requirements and is subject to availability and confirmation.
Can travel agents add their own margin?
Yes. Under the default net rate model, partners receive a B2B net rate and are free to add their own markup when quoting their customer.
Do you offer commission-based partnerships?
Yes, for established partners who prefer it. Under this optional model, the partner earns a commission on the customer-facing selling price rather than adding a markup on a net rate. This is subject to mutual agreement.
Can you provide white-label itineraries?
Yes. Customer-facing itineraries and vouchers can be prepared using your branding when requested, in addition to our default Vertex-branded documentation. Co-branded documentation is also available for suitable partnerships. Supplier confirmations and internal operational documents remain under Vertex's operational control.
Do you work with international travel agencies?
Yes. Vertex works with both domestic and international travel agencies, tour operators, DMCs and corporate travel companies for Kashmir travel requirements.
What services can B2B partners book?
Partners can book Kashmir tour packages, hotels, houseboats, airport transfers, private transportation, local sightseeing across destinations like Gulmarg, Pahalgam, Sonamarg, Doodhpathri and Yusmarg, activities including the Gulmarg Gondola, honeymoon packages, family holidays, group tours, fully customised itineraries and on-ground Kashmir support.
How do I request a B2B quotation?
Send us your requirement — travel dates, number of travellers, hotel or houseboat category and itinerary needs — via WhatsApp, email or phone, and our B2B team will share a net quotation.
What information should I provide for a B2B quotation?
Travel dates, number of adults, children and their ages, number of rooms, preferred hotel or houseboat category, meal plan, transportation preference, destinations to visit, activities and any special requirements — and your budget, if available. The more complete the requirement, the faster and more accurately we can prepare your quotation.
Are rates subject to availability?
Yes. All B2B quotations are subject to availability and confirmation, and rate validity is shown on each individual quotation.
How long is a B2B quotation valid?
Rate validity is shown on each individual quotation and depends on the season and availability at the time it was issued. If you confirm after the validity period, we will reconfirm availability and pricing before booking.
How does booking confirmation work?
Once you approve a quotation and complete payment as per the terms shared on that quotation, we confirm the booking with our Kashmir suppliers and issue a booking voucher, followed by full on-ground support during the trip.
Are preferential rates guaranteed for new partners?
No. Partner levels and preferential commercial terms are reviewed individually based on actual booking volume, frequency, payment reliability, operational cooperation and long-term business potential — enquiry volume alone does not guarantee preferential pricing or credit terms.
