Recapping our Year of Empowering Travel Agents
KHM Travel Group has had an incredible year of celebrating our travel agents. From a milestone anniversary to record-shattering commission payouts…and more memorable trips together than we can count. It’s been a busy year of booking travel. Let’s look back on the last 12 months as we gear up for an exciting 2026.
January – March
We started the year living out one part of our company’s mission: educating travel agents. Our Boot Camp 2.0 event in January kicked off a year of learning, growing, and developing new skills. Boot Camp 2.0 is designed for more experienced agents looking to increase their understanding of their personal business. It includes interactive sessions on business planning, myTravelCRM™, finances, and marketing strategies. These aren’t just presentations, but instead attendees work together on real-time exercises with the team and fellow agents.
The beginning of March is always a special time for us, but this year was extra meaningful as we celebrated our 20th anniversary. A milestone like that deserves an equally memorable event, which was our Crystal Conference at the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace! A week filled with education, laughter, entertainment, and networking made this gathering with our 500+ attendees truly special.

April – June
Spring brought fresh energy and high earnings as we welcomed agents to our first event held in our newly expanded event space in our Corporate Office. This Boot Camp 1.0 class thoroughly enjoyed diving into all the travel agent essentials, while getting to connect with our staff in the office.
In May, we celebrated National Travel & Tourism Week with fun giveaways and by spotlighting our travel agents each week for special “Travel Agent Tuesdays.” This agent recognition continues – follow us on social media to meet some of our agents!
We closed out spring with a 26% increase from quarter one for new agents earning their first commission checks. On June 18th, our highest commission payout in one week was $1.5 million. The following week, the commissions kept rolling in for our agents with a record high of 1,200 agents receiving a weekly commission payment!
