I started off in the travel industry working with another host agency that I was not happy with and one of my friends who's also a travel agent kept telling me to give Avoya a try. I'm so glad that I gave them a try and I'm happy to still have my travel agency business affiliated with them a year later. The support that I get from Avoya especially the Early Success Team and Brand Sales Departments is extremely wonderful. I will admit when I first joined Avoya I was struggling but that's because I didn't reach out for help and once I contacted Early Success at Avoya asking them for help I went from struggling to now ending every month with at least over $2,000 commission wise. The Early Success Team is a wonderful asset that I'm very glad that Avoya has for free where as with most other host agencies they charge you for a coaching session. Avoya has opportunities where you can meet with the senior leadership team in person. Avoya even invited me to attend the naming ceremony for Royal Caribbean Icon of the Seas where I got to meet so many of Avoya Senior Leadership Team in person and I even got to talk to Avoya CSO Phil Cappelli for a bit during the 3-day naming ceremony cruise to the Bahamas. The live leads program with Avoya is amazing not only are my customers from the live leads program but some of them are also referrals that I got from the leads that I claimed threw Avoya live leads program. Avoya has a long standing relationship with so many suppliers and whenever I have a question or a issue I know that Avoya support team is there to help me. I love how Avoya also has training/educational opportunities that are offered via Zoom. A lot of Avoya staff use to be IA's with Avoya so a lot of them talk from experience. Overall I'm very happy with my affiliation with Avoya and I should of went with Avoya in the first place. Now I'm actually getting ready to add agents under my license and expand my business. I also love how Avoya Early Success Department makes sure that I have goals set for myself and how they cheer me on and celebrate whenever I hit a goal.
Avoya Travel has supported it's Independent Agents like me every step of the way through the entire Pandemic. We had access to experts to guide us through the maze of Government assistance; support on hand for everything we needed so we could continue to service our customers, and work with our suppliers. We have been working for free for a year because of all cancellations, but Avoya Travel has been there for us. We knew they were not going away, and that helped sustain me throughout this horrible year. I highly recommend them to any travel agent who is considering a host agency.
Support!!! Plus dealing with the most honorable people in the business gives you great security.”
I've had the pleasure to personally interact with many of the staff at Avoya, and I have the utmost faith that they all care for the success of the IA's.
Joined Avoya Travel Network at the beginning of this year. My experience has benefited by the “The experienced Staff, comprehensive training, complete booking engines, constant updates, and opportunities to learn”.
The support has been fantastic and all staff have been so encouraging in this tough time. They all have really tried to give us tools to pivot and go in a different direction with offerings to clients with borders closed and no cruising. There is also so much supplier and Avoya education to help us keep up with current info for when clients are ready and bookings increase.
I have been with Avoya Travel for over 6 years, but in travel over 16 years. Hosting with Avoya is the best decision that I have made. When I was going it alone (without Avoya), I found out that the hardest item to overcome was to obtain clients. You could spend a lot of time, money, and effort in advertising and you still would not be very fortunate in obtaining leads. However, Avoya solves that for you with their marketing, and obtaining clients for you. I can not think of another host agency that provides the marketing, training, support that Avoya provides its independent agents. Thank you Avoya!!!!!
“Being part of Avoya is like having an extended family. Avoya is always there to help you build your business and teach you new ways how to sell. No matter how long you are in the business or if you are just starting a new business, they have the people in place to help you grow and learn. Their live lead program gives you the opportunity to gain new clients . They do all the marketing, and accounting so you can concentrate on selling and servicing your clients. I have been with them almost 11 years it was the best move I could have made I am a owner, and my own boss. Great company!”
I love being in the travel industry! I am officially retired, but work with Avoya selling travel to make extra income. It's perfect for me. Don't have to leave the house and doing what I love. Avoya's Support System is the best! They market for you, give you leads to work and answer any questions you may have almost instantly. Couldn't have a better host agency.
Joined Avoya 2 and 1/2 years ago as a 2nd career. Exceptional back office support, up to date relevant optional trainings, excellent supplier relationships and promotions, and the best pandemic support (real-time information & coaching). Most importantly, Avoya feels like family...with fellow IA's always willing to lend a hand!
The support that I get from Avoya is AMAZING!!!! They want you to succeed and they really care about you. I am so happy I have joined such a wonderful team.
