HTN Business Membership is designed for DMCs, hotels, accommodation providers, tour operators, experience providers, transport companies, cruise operators, attractions and other tourism businesses working in or entering the halal travel market.
Business Membership gives members access to HTN training, guidance, market insight, member visibility and relevant network activity. It is designed for businesses that want to strengthen how their product, service or destination is understood, presented and positioned within the travel trade.
Membership is priced according to the size, structure and product scope of the organisation. This keeps membership accessible for smaller independent businesses while reflecting the wider commercial scope of larger, multi-product or group organisations.
HTN Business Membership is suitable for tourism businesses that want to:
Business Membership is not a direct sales, booking or lead-generation service. It is designed to strengthen market understanding, trade readiness, product clarity and relevant industry visibility.
HTN Business Membership has three pricing categories. The correct category is confirmed by HTN after reviewing the application.
This may include boutique DMCs, independent accommodation providers, lodges, villas, local tour operators, attractions, restaurants, guides, activity providers and experience-led businesses with a limited number of products, properties or destinations.
This category is suitable for businesses that need a practical entry point into HTN, with access to training, guidance, member visibility and relevant network activity.
This may include DMCs, hotels, tour operators, transport providers, attractions and travel businesses with several itineraries, services, products, routes, destination combinations or supplier relationships.
This category reflects the additional review, positioning and network consideration required when a business has a wider product range or more developed commercial activity. It gives HTN a stronger basis to understand the business properly, identify where the offer fits, and include it in relevant activity with the right level of context.
This may include cruise companies, hotel groups, multi-property brands, larger tour operators, transport providers, aviation partners, destination companies and organisations with multiple ships, properties, routes, regions, brands, departments or product lines.
This category is suitable for organisations that require wider product review, clearer category positioning and more careful placement within relevant HTN activity.
For larger organisations, the final fee may vary depending on the scale of the business, number of products or properties, intended use of the HTN network and level of review required.
HTN member recognition: Approved members become part of HTN’s global B2B network and may use the relevant HTN member badge in line with HTN brand and membership guidelines.
Training and market education: Access to HTN training and education activity, including in-person training where relevant, HTN Academy content, webinars, briefings and market updates.
Product and service guidance: Guidance on how to strengthen the information the travel trade needs to assess, present and work with your product, service or destination.
Trade-ready information: Support to improve key trade-facing details, including itineraries, dining arrangements, accommodation information, service standards, delivery details, guest considerations and clear selling points.
Visibility through HTN activity: Inclusion in relevant HTN activity, including member communications, webinars, destination briefings, campaigns, events and industry conversations.
Events and networking: Access to HTN webinars, workshops, mixers and selected in-person events designed for relationship-building, industry learning and relevant showcase opportunities.
Industry relationships: A place within HTN’s wider B2B network, with introductions made where there is a clear fit between the member, the product and the trade contact.
Market insight and guidance: Guidance and feedback to help members understand where their offer fits, what may need strengthening and which opportunities are worth pursuing.
HTN works with a wide range of tourism businesses, from independent lodges and boutique DMCs to cruise companies, hotel groups and multi-product operators. A business with one focused product does not require the same level of review, positioning or network consideration as an organisation with multiple properties, routes, ships, regions or product lines.
The pricing categories allow HTN to keep membership accessible for smaller businesses while ensuring larger organisations are reviewed and positioned with the right level of care. Applicants may select the category they feel best reflects their business, but HTN will confirm the appropriate membership category after reviewing the application.
HTN may recommend a different membership category or route if the selected option does not reflect the organisation’s size, structure, product scope or level of involvement required.
Organisations that require a tailored programme, active campaign support, destination development, roadshows, FAM trips, PR, representation-style activity or wider market development may be better suited to HTN Market Partnership.
