Quark Expeditions launched a new Partner Portal for travel advisors, in addition to a new AI resource specifically for advisors to get answers fast. 

Parker the Polar Bear is the first travel advisor resource of its kind, providing support and information for travel advisors in real time. 

"Our new AI-enabled virtual assistant leverages secure, cutting-edge language models trained by our own technology team using extensive in-house knowledge repositories," said Rajesh Thiagarajan, Director of Digital Products with Quark Expeditions' global development team. "Parker, together with the full suite of digital resources on the Partner Portal, will reduce time demands for advisors through fast and accurate answers to every polar client's questions."

The Partner Portal also includes customizable promotional and marketing material, the latest news from Quark Expeditions and the expedition operator’s PolarPRO training platform. 

"Our Partner Portal for travel advisors offers unmatched, industry-leading innovation and efficiency," said Wendy Batchelor, Vice President of Marketing for Quark Expeditions. "Anchored by the best team and the deepest experience in our sector, our blend of one-stop digital resources and lightning-fast AI tools will fuel sales success for our polar expedition partners—and this is only phase one; look for more exciting developments soon!"

Travel advisors can contact the Quark Expeditions’ sales team to learn more about the new portal and AI technology, or they can register to become members and gain access to the portal for themselves.
