ATHome by Atlas Travel

This is my third with ATHome and I can highly recommend them as a Hosting Agency. They have the training to help you get started but more than that they have the support to assist you with whatever you need. From building your website to your business cards and certifications. They are also constantly improving processes and procedures to make it easier for you to book your clients and receive your commission. If you are looking to get started in the travel business or you just want to work from home and need a partner ATHome by Atalas can provide it all.

ATHome, Inc. is the host agency I decided to trust with my travel business after taking over from What A Trip. The Travel & Training School, private Facebook Group, and company support provides me with all relevant resources to run a successful home based travel agency giving opportunities to increase my sales and knowledge on a regular bases.

I do this because I love to travel and I want to help others to discover new destinations and experiences. I have been able to find balance with ATHome, working hours and days that fit my daily routine.

ATHome is invested in their advisors and the staff are more like friends and family than a business connection. ATHome has made great strides in enhancing products and services for all advisors. There is always someone available to help you through problems. Everything is not perfect all the time but with the service ATHome provides it sure makes these times more profitable and stress free.

I am a new member with the ATHome family and I’ve never felt more included while joining an organization. Leadership is easily accessible and knowledgeable. There is so much room for growth and training. The membership fees are low and there are so many people willing to help. This agency is very inclusive and they have alot of opportunities for growth.

I have been with ATHome Travel since the switch from What A Trip Vacations. There was great improvement in services and training when the transition happened. I have enjoyed being with the company. I like that the commission process is automated as long as I complete the back end process which is seamless. AtHome has a variety of suppliers for agents to use. As a home-based travel agent, I found that ATHome worked best for me in allowing me the flexibility to run my business the way I need to. As a host agency, AtHome provides quality customer service and attention to its' agents. They are a great host agency for new and experienced agents.

I chose What A Trip as my host agency because they offered everything I needed to begin as a travel advisor. I could not be more pleased with my decision. What A Trip offered lots of support, guidance and training for a new travel advisor. The staff was available to answer questions, provide advice based on their experience and pay commissions timely. After purchasing What a Trip, At Home continued to provide excellent support and training. The CEO of At Home, Elaine Osgood, is a very "hands on" person. She along with her staff are supportive and very helpful. I really like the electronic payment system At Home implemented and changing our affiliated consortia to Signature Travel Network. If you are looking for a Host Agency, At Home is awesome.

ATHome, Inc. is the host agency I decided to trust with my travel business. I consulted with several other host agencies, and I felt the most support and guidance with ATHome. The Travel & Training School, private Facebook Group, and company support provides me with all relevant resources to run a successful home based travel agency. The opportunities to increase my sales and knowledge are endless.

Some host agencies expect you to sell travel as your main source of income. I am a Part-Time Independent Travel Advisor. I do this because I love to travel with my family, and I want to help others to discover new destinations and experiences. I have been able to find balance with ATHome, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff.

ATHome is invested in their advisors. I have received surveys and questionnaires for input, and based on the feedback, ATHome has made great strides in enhancing products and services for all advisors. I am so excited to be part of a company that thinks outside of the box and truly partners with their advisors.

If you are on the fence, call ATHome, and ask for Elaine, and tell her I sent you.

Mrs. Elaine Osgood has been very instrumental in helping to guide me in my path to becoming a great travel advisor. From the first phone call introducing the company and its benefits she has been hands on with me.

I recently had a hiccup of clients not receiving onboard credit. My clients showed the reservation at check-in and were advised they did not show it in the system. I was called and advised of the situation. I called the agent line and was told nothing could be done. I sent an email to the ATHOME address requesting help with this problem. Not only did Mrs. Elaine email to reassure me as a new agent she also emailed a rep from the cruise line directly to help resolve the issue. My clients received the onboard credit while sailing. They called and were impressed with my(our) ability to make this happen.

Mrs. Elaine and the AThome family saved the day.

AtHine is a good host company to start with. They do provide training. It is self paced and all do-it-yourself online. The people are friendly. The annual fee with commission split is a bit higher than average. The only complaint is that they do not actually pay the commissions. There is a lot of push back on “this needs to be researched”. “not sure we received payment, I will check” etc. I was content until I had to constantly battle to get paid and missed on a lot of commissions

My husband Nicholas & I have been selling travel for at least 20 yrs. We where with What A Trip Vacations for at least 15 years. Then we where sold to AT Home / Atlas Travel. We are very happy with At Home / Atlas Travel. The best thing they did was to keep Sue Russo, Theresa Lamoureux & Lynn Sierra. They are the life line to the AT Home Travel Advisors. If we need anything we can contact either one of them. They are on top of everything.

I love to travel and to help others plan their travel, so I thought it would be a perfect fit to become a travel advisor. After much research, I decided on What a Trip as a host agency which was later purchased by ATHome, Atlas Travel. I love the networking and collaboration among the advisors and the support provided by the staff.
The ATHome Travel Advisors Facebook group is really a great way to get current travel information and to ask questions. The group is especially invaluable to new advisors.
