6 Ways Avoya Continues To Support Independent Travel Advisors

March 31, 2020

There is a scene in sports we all know that has replayed throughout history: in film, on playgrounds, at school fields and Olympic stadiums. Members of a team work together to push themselves to reach their goal, while spectators cheer alongside them, wide-eyed with hope and excitement.

We all know the aspirations of athletes, but the same goals and successes of these sporting events can also be applied to business. Each member of a team has a position that they’re responsible for, but also play a part of the larger whole – the team (or business) itself. To achieve greatness, the team needs to work cohesively so each unit helps forge that highly anticipated successful outcome.

Much like this time-enduring tradition of athletic teamwork, we currently find the travel industry faced with times where we need to work together to succeed. After all, “there’s no ‘I’ in team” right? Our community needs to unite to stay strong and successful.

Avoya Travel® is dedicated to providing Independent Agencies in the Avoya Network™ with unparalleled support during these unprecedented times. That’s why we’re stepping up to the plate and covering all the bases to help passionate travel professionals continue to maximize their business potential and find success.

Our commitment to this has not wavered, nor has our love for travel and the ever-important industry. The impact of this challenge is being felt around the world, which is why we believe we’re better when we’re together. Now more than ever, nothing is more important to Avoya than the health, safety and success of the Independent Agencies in the Avoya Network.

So how is Avoya currently supporting independent travel professionals, as well as helping set up future success?

Ensuring You Get Paid As Soon As Possible

Avoya is continuing to pay commissions weekly (as received by vendors) via direct deposit and offers an Instant Commission™ program, helping Independent Agencies get paid sooner during this time of uncertainty.
