Hook Us Up: Why Booking Through an IATA Agent Gets You Better Venues (for Free)
Imagine this: You’re tasked with planning your company’s next retreat or offsite event. You start googling “unique team retreat venues in Mexico,” and before you know it, you’ve got 47 tabs open, 6 ongoing email threads, and a mild headache from decoding hotel contracts written in corporate legalese.
There’s a better way.
At SONA, we book destination venues every single day. It’s what we do. And because we’re an IATA-accredited travel agent, we don’t just help you find the perfect property—we help you get better terms, better perks, and better peace of mind. For free.
Let us explain.
💡 What’s an IATA Agent Anyway?
IATA stands for the International Air Transport Association. It’s kind of like the golden ticket of travel credibility. Agents with this accreditation are vetted, trained, and connected to a global network of travel suppliers—including resorts, hotels, and luxury destinations across the world.
Translation? We get insider rates, exclusive perks, and access to contract terms you can’t find online. And because we’re commission-based, you don’t pay a thing for this part of the process.
✈️ Why This Matters for You
Most company leaders don’t have time to:
Negotiate cancellation clauses
Compare AV pricing across five different countries
Find venues that actually understand corporate needs (not just weddings and influencers)
That’s where we come in.
Here’s what you get when you book your venue through SONA:
🧠
Expert Eyes on Every Detail
From room block language to attrition clauses, we comb through the fine print so you don’t end up paying for empty beds or awkward contract surprises.
🤝
Negotiation Power You Didn’t Know You Had
We’ve built long-term relationships with global properties—and they treat us (and you) like VIPs. Think: upgrades, welcome gifts, waived fees, and priority placement.
💸
It’s Free. Seriously.
We’re compensated by the venue, not by you. So you can skip the middleman markup and still get white-glove service.
🛎️ The SONA Bonus
Because we also produce the events we book, we know exactly what matters—AV needs, flow of space, onsite logistics, backup plans. That means we don’t just think like agents—we think like your ops team, your event planner, and your guest.
If you want your event to be stress-free, beautiful, and wildly effective, you’re in the right place.
