As a newer independent travel advisor, my experience with Travel Leaders Network has been overwhelmingly positive. One of the biggest reasons TLN stands out to me is its support of veterans in the travel industry through the Veterans in Travel scholarship program, a collaboration between Nexion Travel Group and Travel Leaders of Tomorrow. As a veteran, that commitment to creating real pathways into entrepreneurship truly matters to me and reflects the values I want to align my business with. From a practical standpoint, the tools TLN provides have been incredibly helpful while I’m building my business thoughtfully and within budget. Having access to AgentProfiler and a professional website without additional out-of-pocket costs through my host agency has been a huge benefit. While there are some limitations in how much the site can be customized, the ability to have a polished online presence right away, plus access to a built-in lead generator, has been invaluable as a new agent. Overall, Travel Leaders Network offers strong foundational support, meaningful industry partnerships, and resources that genuinely help newer advisors grow without feeling financially overwhelmed. I appreciate both the professionalism of the network and its investment in programs that support underrepresented communities, especially veterans.

After searching for a host agency to begin my TA journey with, I signed with Yeti because of their laid-back approach. I was able to complete my training on my own time, reach out to members at any time with questions and was able to make my journey tailored to me. I also really liked their commission tier. The combination of their approach as well as the "pay off" made Yeti the perfect choice for me. I also love that they have semi-annual trips with different suppliers for the agents to get first-hand experiences.
