⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I’ve been with Incentive Connection Travel (ICT) for two years, and it has been an incredible experience. What stands out the most is the warm, family-oriented atmosphere and the round-the-clock support.

Being a family-owned company with 30+ years of industry experience, Robert, Karen, and Hedi have made me feel valued and motivated from day one. Their encouragement helped me confidently enter the travel business.

ICT's commission structure is fantastic, and I appreciate how easy it is to manage accounting and bookings through Clientease CRM. Plus, their FAM trips, ship inspections, and seminars at sea provide unmatched learning opportunities.

No monthly fees or contracts means I can focus solely on growing my business — and that’s exactly what ICT empowers you to do. I’m so grateful to be part of this network and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a top-notch host agency!

I can’t say enough great things about ICT, a family-owned Host Travel Agency. From the moment I joined, I felt welcomed and valued—not just as another agent, but as part of their travel family. The leadership team is incredibly supportive, always available to answer questions, provide expert advice, and celebrate our wins together.

What really sets ICT apart is the personal touch. They truly care about helping each agent succeed, whether you’re new to the travel industry or a seasoned professional. Their training resources are top-notch, commission payments are reliable and timely, and the community of agents is inspiring and collaborative.

If you’re looking for a host agency that combines professionalism with a genuine family atmosphere, ICT is the place to be. My business has grown thanks to their support, and I feel grateful every day to be part of such a positive and encouraging team.

Highly recommend!

I have been a travel agent for over 30 years, spending most of that time at a brick-and-mortar agency until two years ago. I met the owners of Incentive Connection Travel (ICT) at a conference many years ago and was always impressed by their kindness and integrity. When I began considering making the change to a home-based agent, I naturally reached out to them, as well as several other host agencies. Throughout that process, ICT never pressured me; instead, they patiently answered all my questions and offered steadfast support. Unlike other host agencies that focused on my potential sales volume, ICT was concerned that I find a good fit for myself.

Since joining ICT, that unwavering support has continued. Working with them feels like being part of a close-knit family rather than another agent in a large company. They offer a generous commission structure, no minimum sales requirements, and no start-up fees. I can confidently recommend Incentive Connection Travel to any agent looking for a home in the travel industry!

I have been with Incentive Connection Travel for 6 months now. They are the easiest people to work with! They make it easy for you to succeed. We have webinars from vendors so we can learn about their products and these are recorded so you can watch them later. They do not require much from you. You are required to submit forms and bookings on time and to let them know if you are having issues with a vendor or commission payments, Robert, Harvey, Heidi and Karen are very helpful. You could do no better than to join us, I promise you that.

I have been with Incentive Connection Travel since 2002 when they purchased another host agency that I was affiliated with. They are the easiest people to work with! They don't babysit but they offer anything and everything you need to succeed. We have webinars from vendors so we can learn about their products and these are recorded just in case you can't attend. Then you can watch them later, which is great. They do not require much from us but they do expect us to adhere to their rules (which are for our own benefit), submit our forms and bookings on time and to let them know if we are having issues with a vendor or commission payment etc. I cannot believe how quickly they pay our commissions. Once our clients have traveled, I believe we get paid within 21 days. I have never once in 23 years been disappointed in when and how they pay. We also have a wonderful group of agents, who all help one another out on a Facebook page. ICT and these agents have become like family to me and I will miss them so much when I retire. Actually, I did retire once for about 18 months or so and then I came back. Once travel is in your blood, it's hard to stop. . . especially when you have a company like ICT as your back-up. Robert and Harvey and Heidi and Karen are the cream of the crop. You could do no better than to join us, I promise you that.

I’ve been with Incentive Connection Travel (ICT) less then a year, and it has been an incredible experience. What stands out the most is the warm, family-oriented atmosphere and the round-the-clock support. Thank you Robert!

It was 7 years ago when I came across ICT. I will never forget Robert answering all of my questions and inviting me to "test them out". If we were a good fit together, then great. Yes, it's been a good fit. It's so great to be with a host that really fights for their advisors and truly tries to keep everything moving forward for all of us. Even with the changes in the consortium, it wasn't just what was good for them but for all of us. And what a great move it has been. With the changes in this industry, especially with the pandemic, ICT was awesome with keeping that connection with us and our suppliers throughout. This has been so beneficial in keeping good relationships and establishing new ones. I truly enjoy being with my ICT family. And to top it off, I have the best mentor within ICT. The pairing of me and Sharon, has really been awesome. She keeps me grounded through her experience and I show her some of the new ways to do things. It's an amazing friendship. And of course, I cannot leave out Sherrie, Leland and Marc, just to name a few, who all had a hand in giving me advice and guidance as I started this journey. It sounds like I'm giving thanks for an award, doesn't it? lol
But I absolutely love my ICT family!!!

I have been in this business for 26 years, starting as a front line storefront leisure agent, then as a corporate agent, then a corporate agency manager and finally landing with ICT and establishing my own business in 2003. I started with ICT and here I have remained for 19 years and counting. They are fair, honest and loyal and I have never felt like I was not valued or respected. Rather more like I was part of a close knit group of good friends all working together. Their commission splits are extremely fair and I have never had any problem reaching anyone for assistance on any day of the week. Highly recommend if you don't want to be lost in a crowd..:-).

I research host agencies for a looong time. My criteria included consortia, leads, costs, sales quotas, training, access to host owners/managers, Sabre access, and commission split.

I decided my preferred consortia were Signature and Ensemble. Lead became a "no" once I understood tat those leads may pay less commission and the customers would not be my customer. I am re-entering the travel industry after a couple of decades of doing little travel work. So - I am not a newbie, but will need some hand-holding and encouragement. When I joined ICT, I was still working a fun-time job and knew I would have little to no sales for months.

I chose ICT because the cost to get started was low. The financial outlay was very small - and no monthly fees. ICT does not have a monthly, quarterly, or yearly sales quota. That was one of my main questions to Robert before I joined.

The commission split is lower than I would prefer, but until I am booking $1M+ in sales, I am fine with the split. If I want to increase my commission, I need to look at preferred suppliers for ICT and Ensemble that provide a higher commission percentage. Sabre is also an option at ICT.

ICT is a FAMILY RUN business. Any question I have is answered by Robert, the head of the agency. If I have concerns, he is a phone call away to discuss my question. ICT has a Facebook group where agents post questions or concerns. Half the time, Robert also answers these questions. The other agents at ICT are soooooo helpful. They answer questions, give suggestions, will assist other agents when needed. They have all become family.

ICT is the perfect host for someone who wants to run his or her agency as they see fit. ICT will not hold your hand. But ICT will help and provide guidance. So for a brand new agent, ICT may not be a fit unless that new agent is making sure he or she is learning from other people/teachers in the industry.

Being on your own per se can be disconcerting. But if you reach out, ICT is there to assist.

As a business owner, I appreciate having the ability to run my business without having parameters the host agency requires. I can create my own website. Commissions are paid on time. Plus, I am now part of a new family on whom I can and do depend. ICT is an ideal host for me.

New Agents - if you are willing to be courageous and put yourself out there, we are here to help you. And we believe in you. You will feel that camaraderie here.
