As a 25-year travel advisor veteran, I can confidently say that the agency you are affiliated with truly matters. Global Travel Collection provides a level of support that is unmatched in the industry. Whether I need help with airline ticketing exchanges, hotel or DMC contacts, accounting/commission tracking, or computer issues, there is always a real person available to assist. GTC also gives advisors access to incredible tools, including CRM systems, travel planners, an intranet, Sabre/Sabre Graphical, a branded hotel booking website, AI tools, and so much more. Their Learning and Development team offers thousands of training videos in our library, along with regular live webinars featuring top hoteliers, cruise lines, tour operators, and industry partners. GTC even has its own hotel and cruise programs that rival Virtuoso and Signature, giving advisors powerful resources to better serve their clients. Even though GTC is one of the largest travel agencies in the world, it still has a boutique, mom-and-pop feel where we can email or speak directly with our President and VPs, and they genuinely listen. If you want to feel empowered, supported, and inspired to be the best travel advisor you can be, Global Travel Collection should be your home. We welcome you!

I've been with Archer Travel for over three years, and joining has honestly been one of the best decisions I've made for both my business and my family. When I first started, I had no experience as a travel advisor. The training, support, and resources gave me everything I needed to build a real business from the ground up. Whether you're interested in cruises, all-inclusive resorts, Disney, Europe, destination weddings, or group travel, the supplier training and ongoing education are incredible. There is always something new to learn, and the support never stops. One of the biggest advantages is Archer's long-standing reputation. They've been in business since 1952, which means they have established relationships with more than 135 travel suppliers. Those relationships provide great commission opportunities, valuable training, and strong support when working with vendors. The commission structure is also excellent. Depending on your membership level, advisors can earn 80% to 100% of their commissions, giving you the opportunity to grow into a very profitable business. Something I appreciate is that the mentorship side of the business is completely optional. If your goal is simply to sell travel, you absolutely can. If you want to mentor others and build an additional residual income, that opportunity is available too—but there is never any pressure. Personally, I've enjoyed mentoring because helping others succeed has become one of the most rewarding parts of my career. As someone who has built a successful business while raising five children, I can honestly say Archer has given me flexibility, financial opportunities, lifelong friendships, and a career I truly love. I've gone from having no travel industry experience to becoming a successful travel advisor and leader, and I couldn't have done it without the training, mentorship, and community I've found here. If you're willing to learn, stay consistent, and put in the work, Archer provides all the tools you need to build a successful travel business. I'm incredibly grateful to be part of this company and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a supportive host agency with decades of experience and outstanding resources.
