December 2, 2025 update: At the 2.5-year mark of being a full-time travel advisor, I am beginning to hit my stride with my business. The Andavo advisor community continues to be a major resource for destinations, supplier contacts and recommendations.
Over the last year, I connected and worked with a fellow travel advisor who works in group and incentive travel, an area I want to pursue for my business. I learned how they do their work and how Andavo Travel provides back-end support for these large projects. I am truly grateful for my colleague's generosity and patience as I shadowed the trips. I am also grateful for their support and encouragement to learn Sabre and become a full-service travel business. I'm excited to tap into these new skills and grow as a travel advisor and business owner!
January 16, 2024: Andavo Travel is a welcoming, friendly, professional and resourceful host agency. For someone like me, who has changed industries, it was a huge relief to know that there was someone I would work with as I learned the ins and outs of travel. I am extremely grateful for the decades of experience among leadership and fellow advisors as they have shared their gems and best practices with me. Thank you, Andavo Travel, for welcoming me to your travel advisor family!
I have been affiliated with Andavo for almost 10 years now, and plan on hopefully working another 10 years.
Previously owned my own agency with multiple employees, this is so much easier.
Andavo has great Tech Support, is part of Virtuoso, and is always endeavoring to make things better and easier for the agents. Another plus is the staff and owners are nice, caring and helpful.
Having been associated with other host agencies prior to joining Andavo 4 years ago, I am so glad to be where I am now! I have the freedom to grow as an agent without all the drama (I hate drama in my life!) Andavo has been straight-forward, fair, and by far, the best host agency to fit my needs as an independent contractor.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, I am looking forward to many more years at Andavo.
I have been in the travel business for four years and with Andavo for one year. I've been very happy with the level of day to day support I've received as needed from home office. They have great vendor relationships that I've been able to leverage. I've also benefited from interacting with amazing fellow advisors who offer their expertise via our online community. Andavo keeps working to help us all be as successful as possible - it really feels like the agency is striving for continuous improvement and growth for all. That is what it is all about!
Partnering with Andavo Travel almost 9 years ago was the best decision we made. I can't say enough about how well supported I feel in every way. Andavo's focus on providing the tools we need to be successful via the advisor support staff, technology and networking is great. This speaks volumes about the owners as they run their company with the utmost of care, honesty and integrity.

I really love being a part of Andavo Travel. I have every resource I could ever need. They provide training on everything that you will ever want in this ever changing industry. Plus they have the size it takes to have clout with vendors that if I was just on my own I wouldn't have.
Anytime I have ever needed anything. Any kind of support with a vendor or had any kind of question I get an answer very quickly. Great support. I did my research before joining Andavo and I am so happy with my choice.
My commission has also always been paid promptly. They send a statement that shows what is being paid every month. Its great for my bookkeeping.
I have been with Andavo Travel for over ten years - after owning and operating Pyramid Travel in Aspen, Colorado. I can't say enough about the support and friendships I experience on a daily basis!
I have a great, complicated, very directed clientele here in the Rockies and problems that have arisen - I've solved with the help of their team.........very fair and good people!
Thank you - Mike and Camille Cameron - (are the tops..........)Kirsten Little, Kelly Heinz, Julie Reves, Laney Williams - can go on!
Please email me if I can help guide you to join OUR team in every way ....

I could not overstate how professional Andavo is a Host Agency and as a company. I am not sure I would recommend it for the new entry agents, but it is a blessing for any seasoned agent that can leverage not just the buying power and contracts from Andavo and their affiliations. But it truly goes well beyond just great contracts and rates, it is how easy it is to work with them and how many tools are available that go well beyond any traditional host. And finally, the ease of work... Andavo staff really become part of one's team by candid direct conversations. They are wonderful. We are happy and lucky to be part of them.
I have been in the travel business since 1980, with a few years off for good behavior. I have worked for the cruise lines both onboard and in the corporate office, then selling Luxury travel since 1989. I have found that boutique agencies are the most responsive but lack volume of business to give your luxury clients the best value. After switching to a Mega (Virtuoso) agency in January I found far worse than the boutique for the simple fact that the tracking of commission takes an additional 90 days or more. Your pipeline needs to be much larger. For someone like me who relies on this to pay the bills, I have found Andavo to be the best solution and am relieved to have finally found a home.
Additionally, the support for agents has been fantastic and teaching this old dog a few new tricks as well, by embracing the technology side. There has never been a better time to be a travel advisor.
Cheers Andavo!
Andavo is the greatest resource an agent could have. Thankfully, I have been with them for over 12 years and have benefitted from increased commissions, excellent support, leading edge technology and owners who REALLY care about the success of their agents. None better!!!
