About Dugan's Travels LLC
Our Beginning:
Dugan’s Travels was founded in 1997 by Jennifer Dugan, an agent who wanted to create an environment where fellow agents could build their own thriving travel businesses outside of the confines of corporate America. Jennifer's vision was for agents to exercise their passion and skill for planning travel while still remaining available to their own families and other commitments. Over 20 years later, her small business goal has blossomed into a successful multi-million dollar enterprise that transforms the hobbyist into a travel professional.
Our core values are: Family first, grow at your own pace, in business for yourself but not by yourself and keep moving forward.

We are not the biggest host agency. We are a family orientated host agency. We welcome new agents into our family of agents. If that is the kind of host you are looking for, please visit our website to learn more. With less than 400 agents, we are able to get to know our agents and help guide you towards success. Often our agents say we are more like family which is our goal. You actually hear from our team on a one on one basis. We have a help desk to help you out when you need it.
