GTC has been very helpful in many ways. My present title is “Independent Contractor” but I still like the title of travel advisor. I owned my own agency for more than 40 years. But merging with ALTOUR/The Travel Authority gave me the freedom to run my solo little business but with lots of GTC backup. The IT department is so helpful when I have both important problems and with little things. The accounting staff are angels from heaven to someone who would rather do an FIT to Japan than do an invoice. My clients get preferred treatment from many vendors and hotels, giving me an edge. I get vital updates about world and travel situations, passport problems, etc. Yes, I am very glad that I am now an IC with GTC/Traveleaders.

I am pleased to share my positive experience with Global Travel Collection as my host agency. From the moment I joined, I was impressed by their professionalism and commitment to supporting travel advisors. The agency’s vast resources and comprehensive training programs have significantly enhanced my ability to deliver exceptional service to my clients.

One of the standout features of Global Travel Collection is their extensive network of preferred suppliers. This access not only provides me with competitive pricing but also ensures that my clients receive exclusive perks and benefits that enhance their travel experiences. The agency’s strong relationships with top-tier hotels, cruise lines, and tour operators have proven invaluable in curating unique and memorable itineraries.

Moreover, the ongoing support from the Global Travel Collection team has been remarkable. They are always available to answer questions, provide guidance, and share industry insights. The collaborative culture fosters a sense of community among advisors, making it easy to exchange ideas and best practices. The regular webinars and training sessions are also incredibly beneficial, keeping us abreast of the latest trends and developments in the travel industry.

In addition, the technology platform offered by Global Travel Collection is user-friendly and efficient, streamlining the booking process and allowing me to focus more on my clients rather than administrative tasks. This efficiency contributes to a more productive work environment and ultimately enhances client satisfaction.

Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend Global Travel Collection to any travel advisor seeking a robust and supportive host agency. Their dedication to excellence, extensive resources, and commitment to the success of their advisors make them a top choice in the industry. I look forward to continuing my journey with them as we navigate the exciting world of travel together.

I love being a part of GTC. The amount of support I receive is unparalleled. The company has great air and hotel contracts and the name carries a lot of weight within the business. I have been able to explore and learn about some incredible parts of the world thanks to the connections I have made through the GTC reach. I feel that being with this company is not only great for me but for my clients as well.

GTC is a powerhouse and for the most part, I am happy and my clients are happy. The buying power we have is important to me and I feel there is good IC support. While the company feels so big and it feels there are constant changes, it seems headed towards better changes in the long run. I strive for advancement in technology resources for our everyday workflow.

GTC truly feels like home! It consistently provides top-tier tools and resources to empower Travel Advisors, helping us grow our businesses and successfully navigate this dynamic industry. From a robust intranet to exclusive events, carefully curated SELECT hotels, and unmatched contracts with partners, GTC ensures we have access to the best opportunities. Their commitment to education is exceptional, offering countless ways to expand our knowledge and refine our skills. At every turn, GTC prioritizes Independent Contractors, creating a supportive and thriving community for travel professionals. A 5 stars Host agency,

​As a travel advisor with over 30 years of experience in the industry, I can confidently say that GTC stands out as a premier host agency in the luxury travel industry. Their commitment to comprehensive support, and access to exclusive resources have significantly enhanced my ability to serve my clients at the highest level.​ Their dedicated support teams are always available to assist with complex questions and client needs. One of the standout benefits of partnering with GTC is the access to exclusive partnerships. These connections enable me to offer my clients unique luxury experiences, special amenities, and VIP services that are often unavailable through other channels. This has helped in building client loyalty and expanding my business.

I am very excited to be working for Global Travel Collections. I have been in the travel business for 50 years and am very impressed with their onboading process. I was very welcomed by my manager who made the transition from another agency so seemless I am looking forward to a very successful future with GTC. The webinars offered are a great way to engage with hotels, cruise lines and tour operators.. Knowledge is everthing. GTC will give me an opportunity continue with my clients and grow new business

There are some great learning tools offered when you join Global Travel Collection. Webinars, in office presentations and more online. In addition, better commissions are offered as Virtuoso members, which add to the commission amount. No matter how long you have been in the industry, there is always a need to learn more about destinations and resources.

Best airline contracts/cruise and tour contacts. Back office is top notch and support couldn't be any better . Other consortium's including Amex could learn how to support IC's like GTC does now and has from the beginning
Also so much information at our fingertips....because of volume they have the best relationships with all of the vendors . Couldn't ask for a better partnership in this business especially coming from one of the other consortium's that really only cared about revenue and not the person or the customers. GTC puts IC's at the top of their priorities as we continue to navigate all of the changes in the industry ....40 year plus year agent finally found the right fit and so happy we found them during cvoid when all of the others were not taking care of their employees GTC took us all in like family and we started making good decisions instead of just getting rid of people

I’ve been working with Global Travel Collection as an independent contractor since 2016, and it’s been an amazing experience. As a luxury travel advisor, having access to top-tier suppliers, exclusive perks, and VIP treatment for my clients has really helped me stand out.

What I also love is the community. Even though I work solo, I never feel alone. There’s always someone to bounce ideas off of or get advice from. I even have an "emotional support person" Robyn, who is the main reason I am successful with GTC.

If you’re focused on luxury travel and want a host that gets it, GTC is a solid choice.
