Having an independent travel agency hosted by Cadence is our process of reinvention after owning a successful business that we started from scratch and sold a number of years ago.
We've now been in the industry for over a year, and we recently moved our agency to Cadence because of their focus on supporting independent agents. While it's only been a few months with Cadence, we're happy, and looking forward to a long an mutually beneficial relationship.
We've found the organization proactive in its efforts to help the ICs grow, and the staff is very friendly. Plus, because of the size of the organization, we're enjoying larger commissions from luxury travel providers.
Very happy, we are!
After 38 years of travel industry experience in all phases of this dynamic profession, I am so very happy to have found a home with Cadence. Wendy and her administrative staff continue to support and encourage me to tackle any tourism endeavor, and as a result, I do jump in. My questions are answered promptly and the frosting on this great cake called Cadence is their Virtuoso affiliation. Thank you for your acceptance.

Cadence is about people and industry expertise - and integrity - and kind support. I love these people and I am very happy here!
I started with the agency in early 2001 and have loved all my time here. It's like a family - wonderful co-agents and owners. I'm free to pursue my career with the products and vendors of my choice and I am supported by a professional office staff. The agency has close relationships with the top luxury partners - so we have support when we need it. Our Virtuoso connection gives us added amenities for our clients to set us apart from the crowd. I'm happy to share more comments about Cadence - my 'work family' - any time.
I have been a travel agent for 25 years and have spent the last 15 years with Cadence. My initial reason for coming to Cadence was the owner, Wendy Burk, who understood the idea of an independent contractor. When I moved to Virginia from San Diego in 2002, I stayed with Cadence and got great support from the office, even being so far away. When I moved back to California in 2010, I moved to Northern California and still did not consider at any time changing agency affiliation. Still happy with the agency, still love working with Wendy, and will stay with Cadence as long as I am still working in travel.
Cadence is very professional and well informed about current trends in travel.
Excellent company.....enjoy doing business with their agency.
I am proud to a part of the CADENCE family! The fabulous industry connections continue to enhance and grow my business every year. Air/Hotel/Cruise/Tours—you name it, I feel like I have exceptional support and personal contacts for all travel genres. Preferred partner status with luxury hoteliers, and cruise lines benefit me and my clients everyday! Another HUGE PLUS— I love all of wonderful personalized marketing options that CADENCE offers. I wish that I had found CADENCE earlier in my career!
My association with Cadence has proven to be the best career decision I've made. Cadence is about building relationships and provides it’s independent contractors with the best connections and preferred partnerships within the travel industry. Since joining Cadence my business has doubled. If you are an independent contractor looking for a host agency, Cadence should be your ONLY choice.
Joining Cadence 3 1/2 years ago was the smartest thing I did to enhance my career in the travel industry. I have watched my business grow each year in a questionable economy. The Cadence affiliations continue to assist me every day.
