“Hey, hey! I'm Steph and yes, I know Bridget and I look a lot alike. We not only look alike but we both grew up in the family travel agency AND love educating people about things we care about.
When I started HAR in 2012, it was really hard to find guidance on getting started. I've been helping advisors start their agencies since 2007 and love every bit of it!”
Hi! Bridget here and yes, we're sisters who both have a strong passion for education and love to travel.
I've spent 15 years helping advisors start their own agencies. I also bring an official teaching credential to the table, while Steph brings the (insane levels of) excitement. I'm so lucky that I can marry two things I love by creating educational content for you!
Exactly how the industry works, from bookings to billings.
The “big players” you need to know about so you can deliver unforgettable experiences for your clients and host agencies.
Essential industry terms so you never feel like an imposter. Includes a Travel Industry Glossary of terms like DMCs and FITs as well as comprehensive lists of preferred suppliers, host agencies, and tour operators.
"Highly recommend for new to the industry!
If you are new and feeling overwhelmed or lost this course is great for you! It lays out everything you need and the resources to get what you need and start your agency. The worksheets are super helpful with brainstorming and helps keep you on track and push you to take the next step and move forward."
"Great information!
Really helped guide me through looking for a host and getting my business in line. And the instructors are absolutely adorable!"
"The community element is wonderful.
I cannot thank you enough for creating Host Agency Reviews and the course. It’s fantastic. The community element is wonderful. I have tried several times over the years to find out how to become a travel agent and had been directed to MLM websites that were a dead end until this year. This is an invaluable resource and I am so thankful for all the information available to new travel agents. Thank you for creating the course. I learned so much. Thank you again for everything. Amazing!!!"
"Great introduction!
This course quickly led me to a host agency that equipped me with the tools to begin generating revenue."
"This course helped push me over that fence to get started.
I spent a lot of time reviewing countless posts, articles, forums, etc to try to learn about the industry and best practices on starting a travel business. After I stumbled upon HAR's website and attended Host Week, I realized the HAR team knew what they're talking about. And more importantly, they really seem to want to help spread that knowledge and provide encouragement and support. I followed the 7-day setup, but I realized I still had a lot of questions (or rather, when one question was answered, two more popped up). Following this course really helped push me over that fence to getting started. And I REALLY appreciate the access to instructors, Q&A sessions, and community space."
"Fantastic Course to get yourself up and running without being overwhelmed.
If you keep thinking about it but never seem to get past the"talking about it" stage then this is the course for you. HAR walks you through step-by-step in the right order to help you start living your dream without being overwhelmed. As someone who has debated it for many, many years and worse been doing it for free for all my friends and family, I now feel like I armed with the right information and the confidence to get out there and start selling travel. The course helps you not only to set up your agency legally, but also inspires you to create a business that is tailored just for you. With the multi-modality approach in this online course, such as written information, short video clips and organized worksheets, they touch on all the modalities of learning to make it easier for anyone and do it in a fun and informative way. The course community and Q&A are a bonus as you start networking right off the bat, making friends and connections. Five Stars all the way!!!"
"Great Course
This course was great. It provided a lot of information at a nice pace. I will continue to use the tips as I begin on my journey to becoming a Travel Advisor. Thanks!"
"Absolutely worth it!
This is an absolutely amazing course and if you're serious about starting a travel agency, then this is the most worthwhile use of you money I can think of. The videos are entertaining and engaging, but the resources that come with it are worth their weight in gold. An awesome example is I thought I had my name picked out, until I went through the Niche course and then the naming course and used their resource for getting input. My second choice for a name came back as an overwhelming winner. I wouldn't have known that had I not went through the course. Again, if this is something you're thinking about doing SERIOUSLY, then this course is a MUST!!"
"Love it
I am so grateful to have access to what I feel is such an invaluable tool in my personal and professional growth. "
"Outstanding!!!
This course was everything I'd hoped it to be and more! Not only was it motivating and easy to follow, but so informative and confidence boosting in creating my career as a travel advisor. I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking to begin a new career in the travel industry! I am motivated and excited to start my new journey. Thank you HAR for offering this thorough course."
"WONDERFUL OVERVIEW!
In a "nutshell" this was FANTASTIC in giving an overview and a few expectations. THANK YOU!"
"Amazing Accelerator Startup
This 7 day accelerator was a god send for me. I don't know how I would have got through getting everything set up correctly and where I would have out that vital information that they give. The work sheets they have as you go through the course are super helpful. It is really set up and explained as a learning experience! I highly recommend it. And I tell you even the free 7 day accelerator is just amazing the time and thought that went into creating these two courses is phenomenal. They really worked hard to give those who might not been able to afford paying for much needed information and guidance a chance to really get some good information and use out of the free accelerator as well. Great job ladies! I am so happy I came across your material on line it has been a blessing. Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort!"
"This course has been a GOD send
I believe you ladies did a great job on setting up this whole course. You really went into depth and explained everything which it was very explanatory that way. This course has been a GOD send to me. I got everything I needed to know and was looking to find out plus you covered some things I hadn't even thought about yet but was going to need information on when I got to that point. A lot of the Host Agencies try to give their clients the most valuable information as they can, but can never cover everything you need to know to start up and in depth as you did in this course. It was well worth the money I paid and I advise anyone who is seeking information or needing a little training to get your travel agency up and going. If you lack the information to fully get everything on the roll this class helped me out tremendously! I was looking for some training but not trying to have to pay no outrageous price for a class or college class and I came across Host Agency Reviews and I knew this is what I was looking for. So if you are having any doubt about getting started please do yourself a favor and get the course! "
"AWESOME TRAINING PROGRAM
Just simply an AWESOME TRAINING PROGRAM!!! This course will teach you the ins & out's of how to start your own Travel Agency Business. This is a complete step-by-step process you can follow that will make your Travel business dream come true when completed. Steph Lee and her associates make it easy to follow along and understand with their joyful & happy/positive dialogue. I don't do well with TEXT ONLY online courses, this course is different. A mixture of text, video & recorded sessions in small bite-size nuggets makes it something even a person who is easily distracted or wanders off from the session can stay focused and engaged. I fully endorse this program for anyone NEW to the Travel business and wanting to start an agency as I was just a short time ago."
"Crash Course for Starting a Business
This course was so easy to follow. It contained a wealth of information for someone just starting out a business, but wanting to cover all of the bases. I learned so much! I really enjoyed the friendly, warm personalities of both Steph and Bridget!! Thanks for making this course!"
"Dantona
I am a budding travel advisor. As I started out the planning process of my new business venture, I was prepared to spend a lot of time researching and planning this career shift. As I explored what's out there to support folks like me, HAR quickly became a resource to which I repeatedly and consistently returned. After benefitting so much from all the free resources on the website and listening to some of HAR's Host Week interviews, I made the easiest and best decision I've made for my business so far - to enroll in the 7 Day Setup Accelerator training. I am not exaggerating when I say HAR has been, hands down, the most helpful resource to me as a new travel advisor. The Training broke things down into organized, manageable pieces and gave me tons of templates and rubrics to use in the process. You can tell Steph and her team put in so much of thought and time into the guides they prepare for folks attending the course. There is no question in my mind, this course is worth every minute of my time and every dollar spent. I feel so much more confident moving forward planning and starting my own business with this training in my back pocket. Thank you so much to Steph and the HAR team for curating such a helpful resource for new travel advisors like me!!!"
"Best Primer into the Travel Industry
