Exclusive Access
Preferred Partners
BTA holds direct preferred-partner status with the world's most coveted hotel programs — unlocking benefits, amenities, and access that simply cannot be booked any other way.
Why It Matters
Why Book Through BTA
BTA works with a global network of exceptional hotels, resorts, cruise lines, tour operators and destination partners. These relationships can provide our travelers with preferred amenities, recognition and access while giving our advisors direct connections to the people caring for our clients throughout their journeys.
Depending on the hotel and program, preferred benefits may include daily breakfast, hotel credits, room upgrades when available, early check-in, late check-out and other amenities. The benefits are valuable, but they are never the reason we recommend a property. The right hotel and experience for the individual traveler come first.
Our cruise, expedition and tour partners are listed separately, alongside the benefits that apply to sailings and escorted journeys.
