Moscow Region, Peresvet, May 19, 2026. – The three-day offsite forum for travel retail professionals, “TourDom Camp,” has concluded at the “Russkiye Sezony” hotel near Moscow. The event, held on May 17–19, brought together leading industry experts, heads of tour operator companies, and technology platforms. The key theme of the business program was the search for adaptation and growth strategies for travel agencies amid shrinking commissions.
One of the forum’s most notable events was the participation of Sabir Mizam, founder and director of the HelloOtel TurboMarketing bonus system. The company not only acted as a sponsor of the motivational program but also set the tone for the entire discussion on the future of agency earnings.
A focus on honesty and added value
During the conference’s closing session, titled “Where the Money Is in the Tourism Business,” experts sought an answer to the pressing question: how retail can maintain profitability when commissions fall to 5–6%. Sabir Mizam presented a practical case demonstrating that the solution lies not in confrontation with suppliers, but in creating added value.
“We are not urging agents to change their usual work patterns or abandon partnerships with tour operators. Our goal is to give them an additional financial tool that works on top of their existing commission,” Sabir Mizam noted during his speech.
He explained the mechanics of the HelloOtel TurboMarketing platform: regardless of which tour operator an agent uses to book a hotel, the system awards them personal bonuses. The accumulated points are converted into real money or bonus nights at the hotel, becoming a tangible supplement to the shrinking agency margin.
Forum experts and participants highly praised the approach based on direct benefit. Against the backdrop of discussions that pressure on tour operators yields no results, and that the market requires new interaction models, the HelloOtel tool was perceived as an example of effective adaptation. “Don’t beat around the bush, tell it like it is,” ATA Vice President Aleksan Mkrtchyan advised agents. Sabir Mizam’s speech became exactly that kind of candid conversation about money, without illusions but with concrete solutions.
About the HelloOtel TurboMarketing system
The bonus system is designed for travel agents specializing primarily in the sale of Turkish and Egyptian hotels. The platform allows bonuses to be accumulated for bookings made through any tour operator, combined, and exchanged for cash payouts or nights at the best hotels in Türkiye and Egypt.
“We see our mission as strengthening the position of the retail agent, giving them more freedom and financial stability. TourDom Camp showed that the professional community is ready for the adoption of such mechanics, and the demand for honest, mutually beneficial networking is enormous,” Sabir Mizam summarized his participation in the forum.
