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.

​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.

Joining Global Travel Collection has been one of the best career decisions I've ever made. Being part of this powerhouse network means gave me access to world-class support, cutting-edge tools, and a collaborative community of like-minded professionals who are just as passionate about travel as I am. GTC offers an unparalleled level of industry recognition, and the partnerships we have with top hotels, tour operators, and on-the-ground experts around the world are second to none. When I joined GTC in 2018 my clients began to regularly enjoy upgrades, amenities, and more bespoke experiences that simply wouldn’t be possible without this incredible backing and network. I think what sets GTC apart for me is the balance of independence and support—I have the freedom to run my business my way, while also having a dedicated team behind me to help with marketing, technology, and professional development. It truly feels like I’m part of something bigger, and that kind of community and collaboration has been invaluable.

GTC/Protravel International has welcomed me with open arms.
The benefits my clients are receiving are the best. I always get extra amenities at check with a special note from myself to my clients. The onboard ship credits are amazing. The tools are superb and very user friendly. The marketing department is unmatched. They go above and beyond to market you and all of our products.

Go GTC/ProTravel International.

We partnered with GTC in December but it became official this past January 2025. From the moment of our first conversation with Mickey Weill to the continued support from Charae Foust to the daily information and support from Lisa Cuomo and Lisa Benzakein, our experience with GTC has been amazing. Nothings perfect, but they come VERY close to it. We are happy and content with how the onboarding went for all of our team members (12-13 team members). We're excited for what the future holds with GTC.
