When I first started looking into becoming a travel advisor, I quickly realized most host agencies looked very similar on the surface. Lots of promises, lots of fees, and candidly, a lot of outdated systems. LuxRally Travel felt different almost immediately. What first stood out to me was that there were no monthly fees just to be part of the agency. As someone starting out, that mattered. I wanted to build something meaningful without feeling like I was constantly paying to stay in the game. But what really convinced me was seeing how much thought and innovation had gone into the company itself. David Eisen has created something that feels completely different from the traditional host agency model. LuxRally isn’t standing still while the industry changes. They are actively building tools, systems, and training that help advisors work smarter and serve clients better. I also appreciate that the support is ongoing. You are not thrown in and left to figure it out yourself. There is training, collaboration, access to vendors, and a community of agents willing to help each other grow. That matters, especially in an industry where many people work from home and independently. One thing I’ve especially appreciated is that LuxRally encourages advisors to build real businesses, not just casually book trips here and there. There is a strong focus on professionalism, continued learning, and creating a better client experience. As a newer advisor (almost 2 years), I can honestly say I’ve learned more in a short time here than I expected. I still have plenty to learn, but I’m grateful to be part of an agency that is forward-thinking, supportive, and constantly improving instead of settling for “the way it’s always been done.”

I have been with Boardwalk for a few years now. I'm a side-hustle TA - mostly booking family and friends on cruises. Boardwalk keeps 30% of commissions, but has low barriers to entry, no monthly or annual fees, and no minimums. Commissions aren't paid super fast, they hit my account around 10 days after submitting my request which happens after end of travel. Probably not the best gig for a full-time TA, but for someone booking once in a while they are great. C
