What do you like most about Waybird? The itineraries look fantastic, but Waybird is so much more than just an itinerary-builder. It is an entire back-office solution for hybrid travel advisors/tour operators like myself. They process client payments, make supplier payments, and provide E&O liability insurance. What are some areas of Waybird's product that could be improved? Their content library is focused on Africa, Asia, and Latin America (which is great for me as an Asia specialist). But I occasionally have a Europe booking, in which case I can request that they add the hotels/tours I need or add them myself. They are working on adding European countries, so that will be a nice improvement when that content is there. What problems does Waybird solve for you? With other itinerary builders, I'd spend a lot of time sourcing and sizing photos. Waybird's content already includes high quality photos of hotels and attractions, which saves me so much time. And having all their back office support services makes me more efficient, so I can spend more time creating itineraries instead of doing admin!

After spending months researching where to begin my journey as a Travel Advisor (thanks to HAR’s great resources!), I chose The Travel Society as my host agency in January 2025—and I’m so glad I did. From day one, I’ve received incredible support as I launched my business. I love the people, the strong industry connections, and the collaborative culture. TTS consistently offers training opportunities and is fully transparent with host agency operations. Payments are always on time, and communication is clear and reliable. One of my favorite features is the three commission plan options—a flexible structure that works beautifully for advisors at every stage, including those just starting out like me. I’ve already surpassed my annual sales goal in just the first six months, thanks to the tools, guidance, and encouragement from this amazing team. I truly feel like I’ve found my professional home and couldn’t be happier to be part of The Travel Society family.
