Avoya Travel

I started in a travel-related business three years ago and immediately realized I enjoy my job, the clients, the vendors, and just about anyone that I come in contact with had the same attitude, travel is fun whether you are booking a reservation for someone else or traveling yourself. I signed up with one Host Agency and realized I was getting nothing for my money. After a lot of research, I decided I would try Avoya Travel. I can truthfully say Avoya Travel Host Agency has a wonderful program for independent agents, the support you may need to run a successful business is there if you need it from the day you sign up to the first lead that you are offered from their lead program. I'm looking forward to a long successful relationship with Avoya Travel.

“Since I began as an IA I felt that I have been given every opportunity to succeed. The number of support systems is amazing and product availability is over the top. The ongoing training options are incredible. I began my Independent Agency after retiring from my entire career in the leasing business and as a business owner. I love interacting with the travelers and Avoya provides the quality leads that make that pure pleasure.”

I started as a new to selling travel almost 5 years ago, I researched different hosts narrowed it down to a few then selected Avoya which was overall above the others and live leads sealed the deal. I had used an Avoya IA without knowing it at first so had been a live lead. I knew early on I made the right choice due to the stream lined path from education to actually working with customers. The support was a big concern when I began, it has been above and beyond what I'd hoped for. Most important reason for knowing I made the right choice is Support.

The way that Avoya had the IA's backs during the worst of the Pandemic continues on as the travel industry slowly makes its way back. I also like the way that they do all they can to make it easy for the IA's to be succesful by investing in upgrades to the technology of Agent Power, such as Smart Leads...Brilliant idea!.”

I have worked with another host agency. Trust me when I say, they are not created equal! I have found my home with Avoya Travel. Not only do we have great leads, but amazing support from fellow agents, but the company's support is second to none! I would highly encourage you to look into affiliating with Avoya! In a short 8 months of working as an independent agent with Avoya, I have done well, with over $685K in sales

The Avoya Travel Network is a wonderful host with numerous professional development opportunities. I have sold cruises for many many years working directly for a cruise line but now as an independent agency, I welcome all the support Avoya offers to new agents and how willing other IAs are to answer questions and provide guidance. It truly is community over competition. And the live leads program is second to none. I interviewed two franchises and over 20 hosts before settling on Avoya. As any business owner knows, your success is determined by your own efforts and determination but I find the shared success model at Avoya a perfect fit for my independent agency!

Having been one of the first to affiliate with Anderson Travel & Cruises and now Avoya Travel and their “Shared Success Model” in February of 2003, this business relationship and journey have been one of the best decisions I have ever made. Over the years, Avoya Travel has developed into a long-standing reputable company with travel technology, and agency support, which I could believe is second to none. In addition, the package includes innovative marketing, ongoing professional development education, supplier-specific and agency-specific supplier promotions, a built-in cruise booking platform, a CRM, and an accounting system. But most important to me is their ethics and integrity in going to market and their relationship with independent affiliates. When you join Avoya Travel, you genuinely join a family.

I have been affiliated with Avoya since 2019 right before the Pandemic. The minute I joined I was impressed with the training they provide at no additional cost. As I started selling and developing my skill in the Travel Industry they have been there for me every step of the way. The technology they have is fantastic and makes everything easy from the moment you are searching for trips to book to the back office support. They also carry a lot of weight in the industry with suppliers. I can get things done better with Suppliers by having them as a Host Agency as opposed to being independent. I have recently started leveraging the relationship they have with AMEX and am able to close more sales by doing this. I know there are lots of Host Agencies out there and have looked at many of them but in my opinion Avoya is the best and this home for me.

Avoya is a great company to work with! They have excellent support and they keep you up to date on all of the important stuff! The best thing about Avoya is the attitude. Everyone at Avoya is positive and helpful and kind! I've been with another host company and as helpful as they were, there was a definite difference in the style and general attitude of the company. They are always helpful and encouraging. Even the "high ups" will answer your emails! Def recommend!!

“The value that Avoya brings to my business continues to grow. During the pandemic with all that had happened plus going through a divorce, I simply didn't feel like pulling myself up. I was amazed that the team at Avoya simply kept going, supporting the network, keeping in touch with suppliers and sharing ways to keep current as agency owners. I never felt alone. When it was time to get back into the saddle, Avoya was there, ready to grab me by the hand and help me to get going with my business once again. I cannot see myself living and growing with Avoya Travel...it more than a network, it family.”
