Information for buyers

General information

STAY WYSE facilitates business between youth travel accommodation providers and buyers. Typically, buyer organisations are traditional and online travel agents, FIT and group tour operators or wholesalers.

The STAY WYSE buyer programme offers selected buyer organisations special participation terms.

If you would like your organisation to be considered for the STAY WYSE buyer programme, please complete the buyer application form. Once we are in receipt of references, applications are reviewed against STAY WYSE buyer selection criteria:

  • Whether or not the applicant organisation buys youth travel accommodation
  • Scale of current business
  • Potential for future business
  • Outbound region(s)
  • Priority destination(s)
  • Feedback from references
  • Previous STAY WYSE attendance
  • Previous STAY WYSE participation outcomes (business appointment statistics and provider feedback)
