We connect travel agents to industry resources.

I found Legato coming into the travel industry completely new, during a pandemic. I feel truly fortunate to have found a host agency such as them. Despite being a newer host agency, they bring forward over 50 years of solid industry experience. The highly efficient founding team offers a ton of support to their agents, who they encourage to express their individual entrepreneurial spirit, while building comradery. Not only are they there to help guide, but they also listen and are open to ideas! I personally came in as a new agent with an initiative to focus on implementing sustainable and regenerative choices for travelers, with no real desire to settle for anything else. Chris Russo, (who works with the agents' hands on) was quick to support this and began the groundwork by pulling together his decade's worth of connections this gem of a human has built to get myself and others interested going on building a sustainability group. I feel a real sense of teamwork happening here. They understand the demands of the travel consumer are changing and are willing to help agents move forward with those demands. They seem to have streamlined the host agency process and continue to implement a sense of hope in a challenging time. If you are looking for an initial host agency, or are wanting to switch, I would highly recommend working with this dynamic agency.

I’m relatively new to the Travel industry after many years in the corporate world. Many months of research on host agencies, travel business models and Virtuoso partners led me to the Gifted Travel Network - Travel MBA program. It was exactly what I needed. Not just expert industry specific knowledge and access, but the program also includes the basic building blocks to start my travel business from scratch. TMBA provided me invaluable mentorship, coaching, and collaboration. Every TMBA mentor is an experienced Travel business owner with many years of experience. They are amazing experts who genuinely went you to succeed! And I can't say enough about my fellow GTN’ers who are always encouraging and generous with their knowledge when I ask questions. Joining the Gifted Travel Network changed my life and I am so grateful for their guidance and support.
