About Carlisle Travel Management, a branch of Tzell Travel Group

Carlisle Travel Management is an established host agency and travel agency with a history dating back to 1941. We support independent travel advisors who want the credibility, tools, supplier access, training, and operational support of an experienced travel organization while growing their own book of business.

Carlisle is a strong fit for experienced travel advisors, cruise specialists, corporate and entertainment travel professionals, and motivated service-minded sales professionals who are new to the travel industry. Our advisors plan leisure, corporate, group, cruise, family, honeymoon, and personalized travel experiences for clients who value expert guidance.

Through onboarding, supplier webinars, vendor education, marketing resources, commission support, and practical advisor guidance, Carlisle helps travel professionals sell with confidence, build stronger client relationships, and deliver personalized travel planning clients cannot get from a booking site alone.
