Plan terms shown throughout this page are illustrative. Your executed Independent Contractor Agreement governs.

Most hosts sell you a portal and call it support.

An advisor selling a $60,000 villa season does not have a booking-engine problem. They have a supplier-relationship problem, a payment-security problem, and a nobody-answers-at-11pm-in-Positano problem.

Kellamore was built by operators, not marketers. We hold the supplier contracts, the errors-and-omissions coverage, the PCI-compliant card handling, and the platform your clients never see failing. What we do not hold is your client list, your brand, or your judgement.

You decide who to sell and how. We make sure the machinery underneath never embarrasses you.

What we carry so you do not have to

Six obligations that sink independent advisors. Each one sits with Kellamore the day your agreement is countersigned.

Commission that does not erode

One split, published, applied to every booking. No tiered clawbacks, no marketing levy skimmed off the top, no separate fee for using the platform you were promised. Commission is released as it clears from the supplier, not on a monthly cycle designed to hold your money.

70–90%

Advisor share, by plan

Your clients stay yours

Non-solicitation runs in your favour. Kellamore never markets to your list, and your client records export in full if you leave.

Errors and omissions

Covered under the agency policy from day one. No separate certificate to chase before your first booking.

Supplier access under one accreditation

You sell under the agency accreditation and preferred-partner agreements rather than building them alone over five years.

  • Luxury hotel programmes with amenity benefits
  • Villa and private-residence collections
  • Small-ship and expedition cruise
  • Rail, guiding, and heritage-property specialists

Card data handled properly

Client cards are collected and vaulted inside a PCI-compliant flow, with the entry form isolated so raw card numbers never touch your laptop, your inbox, or a shared spreadsheet. You see only what you need to pass to a supplier.

Training you can schedule around clients

Live supplier sessions, recorded destination briefings, and a route through your first five bookings with someone experienced reviewing the file before it goes out.

ONE Travel OS runs the file from enquiry to final payment

Built in-house rather than licensed and re-skinned, so when something in your workflow is wrong we can actually fix it. One record per traveller, one place for every document, one ledger you can reconcile.

Client and trip records
Preferences, passports, loyalty numbers, and past travel on one profile the whole file draws from.
Quoting and proposals
Send a proposal under your own name and letterhead. Kellamore does not appear unless you put it there.
Card vaulting
Collect a card through an isolated form, store the token, and release details to a supplier when the booking requires it.
Commission ledger
Every booking shows expected commission, received date, and your share, so you can forecast rather than guess.

From application to first booking in about two weeks

What you are responsible for at each stage, and what we are.

  • Day 0

    Application

    The form at the bottom of this page. About ten minutes. Nothing is credit-checked and nothing is shared outside Kellamore.



  • Days 1–3

    Conversation

    A forty-minute call with the advisor lead. We go through your book, your suppliers, and which plan fits. You are also interviewing us.



  • Week 1

    Agreement and coverage

    Independent Contractor Agreement issued for review, W-9 collected, and you are added to the errors and omissions policy.



  • Week 1–2

    Platform setup

    ONE Travel OS workspace provisioned, existing client records imported from a spreadsheet or your previous host, supplier logins registered.



  • Week 2 onward

    First bookings reviewed

    Your first five files are read by an experienced advisor before they go to the client. Optional after that, and most people keep it for longer.

Founded in 2022, on the unglamorous half of the business

Kellamore began because the founders kept meeting excellent advisors held back by bad infrastructure: commission owed and unaccounted for, client card details emailed as attachments, supplier relationships that lived in one person’s inbox.

Heritage travel is the work we care most about — the properties with two hundred years of ledgers, the guides whose families have walked the same routes for generations, the trips that need a person who knows which door to knock on. That work only survives if the commercial side behind it is boring, reliable, and correct.

So we built the boring half first, and we keep building it. The lion on the door is not a claim about luxury. It is a claim about not losing things.

Not an advisor. Planning something.

Kellamore does not sell trips directly. We match you with one of our advisors — a specific person with a specific speciality, who then works for you and stays with you.

Tell us roughly what you have in mind and we will introduce the right one, or tell you plainly if nobody on our roster is the right fit.

Questions we get asked before people sign

If yours is not here, ask it in the last field of the application. It will be answered on the call whether or not we go further.

Do I need experience selling travel to apply?

No, but you need a plan. Roughly a third of our advisors came from hospitality, private aviation, or event work rather than an agency. What we look for is somebody who already has people who trust them with plans. If you have never sold anything and have no network, an IATA-accredited training programme first will serve you better than a host agency.

Who holds the seller of travel registration?

Kellamore does, through First Due Travel LLC, and you sell under it. Several states — California, Florida, Washington, and Hawaii among them — regulate sellers of travel, and where a state requires an individual registration in addition to the agency’s, we tell you during the application call and help you file it.

What happens to my clients if I leave?

They go with you. Your agreement contains a non-solicitation clause that binds Kellamore, not just you: we do not market to your list during or after the relationship. On departure you receive a full export of your client and trip records from ONE Travel OS in a portable format within ten business days.

Is there a minimum booking volume?

Not on either plan. There is no quota, no annual renewal threshold, and no penalty for a quiet year. The Principal plan carries a monthly fee that is charged regardless of bookings, which is why we tell people below roughly $60,000 in annual sales to start on Associate instead.

Can I keep my own brand and website?

Yes, and most Principal advisors do. Proposals, itineraries, and client-facing documents carry your name and marks. Kellamore appears where it legally must — on the booking record, on the payment descriptor, and in the terms your client accepts — and nowhere else unless you choose to put it there.

How is client card data handled?

Through an isolated collection form inside ONE Travel OS. The client enters the card themselves; the number is tokenised and vaulted, and you work with the token. When a supplier needs the full number, it is released to that booking under audit rather than copied into an email. This is the single most common way independent advisors create liability for themselves, so we removed the opportunity.

I am a traveller. Can I book directly with Kellamore?

No. Kellamore is a host agency, which means our clients are advisors and their clients are travellers. Send an enquiry through the section above and we will introduce you to the advisor on our roster whose speciality actually matches your trip, or tell you if none of them do.

Bring your book. Keep your name.

Ten minutes now, a proper conversation within the week, and a decision either way. We turn down applications we cannot serve well rather than signing everyone.
