Host Agency
My experience with Magical Moments Vacations has been wonderful! Before joining MMV, I had already spent years planning and booking vacations for friends, family members, and large groups simply because I genuinely love helping people create unforgettable trips. I realized becoming a travel advisor would allow me to earn an income doing something I was already passionate about. I chose MMV because of its strong relationships with travel vendors, higher commission opportunities, and generous commission splits for agents. The Academy Program has been incredibly valuable because everything you need to learn and succeed as a travel advisor is provided in one place. The training is thorough, organized, and makes the process easy to understand. My experience with agency management has also been extremely pleasant and professional. Whenever I have needed assistance, everyone has been helpful and supportive. Commission payments are accurate, easy to track, and always paid on time. I am very happy that I chose Magical Moments Vacations and would highly recommend MMV to anyone interested in becoming a travel advisor!

Host Agency
I have been with Legato for two and a half years, and I can confidently say choosing them as my host agency was one of the best decisions I have made for my business. The first thing that stood out was the 90/10 commission split from day one, regardless of your experience level. That alone sets them apart from many host agencies. What has kept me here is the support. Their onboarding is thorough, and the training is organized by specialty, so you can focus on the areas that fit your business. They also provide resources for business planning, state compliance, marketing, and one on one mentorship with the agency owner, who is actively involved and genuinely invested in helping advisors succeed. The advisor community is another huge benefit. Through weekly Open Mic calls, supplier trainings, CRM support sessions, and an active internal networking platform, there is always someone willing to answer questions or share their experience. Most sessions are recorded, so you never miss valuable information. I also appreciate that Legato listens to its advisors. A great example is the Tern and MontisPRO integration. They took advisor feedback, reduced duplicate data entry, and continue improving the technology based on our suggestions. They don't just introduce new systems. They refine them. The agency also recognizes top-performing advisors, invests in professional development, and continues to improve its annual conference each year. It is clear that leadership believes our success is their success, and they back that up with action. No host agency is perfect, and I would still like to see a few reporting enhancements, particularly for group bookings and commission reconciliation. However, what matters most to me is that they listen, adapt, and continuously improve. After two and a half years, I have no regrets. If you are looking for a host agency that offers strong commissions, exceptional training, accessible leadership, and a genuine commitment to helping advisors build successful businesses, I highly recommend Legato.

Host Agency
I have been with PTN for just over a year, and it has been an outstanding experience from the start. They strike the ideal balance between giving independent agents every tool they need to succeed and the freedom to run their agency their own way. Their preferred supplier list is extensive, with competitive commission rates that are consistently above industry average (and they are frequently adding new suppliers). As someone specializing in premium, luxury and ultra-luxury travel, I find genuine flexibility in their roster to serve clients across every one of these tiers. The support from the PTN team is exceptional. Stephanie and Baz Pickles, the agency owners, are visibly invested in agent success. They are constantly evolving the platform to stay ahead of industry trends. Recent additions include a complimentary Tern subscription for all agents and access to TravelWits, which enables direct GDS bookings without needing to learn legacy code. Their commission split plans are flexible and their terms are fair and transparent. PTN's Virtuoso affiliation adds tremendous value, opening doors to elite supplier relationships and, in my case, the Virtuoso Certified Travel Advisor program, which has been one of the most rewarding professional development experiences of my career. Weekly training sessions, mentoring calls, and open troubleshooting discussions keep agents connected and informed. Their private Facebook community is remarkably generous and has consistently helped me deliver a standout experience to my clients. If you are a new or experienced advisor looking for a host agency that genuinely cares, PTN is an easy recommendation.

Hi, I’m Steph! I own the site. :)

I’m passionately curious, always up for something new! I love to travel, read/write, and meet new people. I have a sweet Aussie named Fennec and a boisterous Husky mix called Orion that keep me company!

I grew up in the travel industry, my parents’ travel agency was in the basement. Later on, I built and worked at a host agency for years. Sometimes I get so excited about things, I think I leave a trail of rainbows in my footprints! :)
