A clear way to **manage partnerships with local suppliers and travel agencies** is to record each partner with agreement terms, commissions, and contacts, link bookings and referrals to the partner, track results, and review agreements regularly.

In **Jestor**, partners, agreements, and results are connected, so the hotel invests in the partnerships that work.

Commissions are calculated by hand, results are unknown, and some partners send nothing.
