I am probably the newest member to join ICT, but I have 22 years industry experience, from inside travel agent working for someone else, to Director of Operations for a multi-location Travel Agency, to Owner/Operator of my own Travel Agency/Tour Company. Today..."times they are a-changing"! So I set out in search of a host agency. After a great deal of searching, I was personally invited to the Annual Incentive Connection Travel Family Convention this year, and I just returned. I did a lot of research prior to landing on ICT as my choice, but the "deal was sealed" after attending the Convention.
ICT hosted the most professionally orchestrated function, spanning a 4 day period, at a great Scottsdale Resort, featuring a plethora of industry speakers, filling us all with wonderful food and drink, allowing us to learn and experience new and profitable tools of the trade, making everyone involved feel like the "family" that they treat you as......and all this to help their hosted agents learn, grow, and succeed.
I look forward with great anticipation to the new experiences I will have as a hosted agent with Incentive Connection Travel. I have full and complete trust in this company to provide everything they promise, and it will help me to continue to be the travel professional that I have invested so many years in.
I will post again a year from now, and give you an update!
Incentive Connection Travel is a great host agency. They are easy to work with, provide agent support and tools to help grow your agency. The costs associated with being a member are reasonable and the commission split is fair. They are a family-owned business and treat their agents like family. They are always available and ready to assist. They have a chat forum via email as well as a Facebook page for agents to help each other, provide reviews on properties/destinations, etc. They pay commission on time. I've been very happy with this agency and highly recommend them.
We have been in the travel business almost three years. I knew I would need some guidance when I started. I searched for an host agency and after reviewing several I decided to try Incentive Connective Travel. I could not have made a better decision. The company is a family owned and run with the same care and concerns as if they were part of my own company. I came from a business that was family owned and the one thing who else would you trust if not your own people. They pay on time and have always been there for me.

I have been with ICT for over 10 years and find it to be the perfect host for my upscale agency. I did try another host for a year, but found that it wasn't a good fit. Commissions are paid promptly and we have a large number of preferred suppliers, but can book any supplier with no reduction in commission percentage. Membership in the Ensemble Travel Group is included and is a huge benefit.
I highly recommend this host for any experienced agents. If you are a complete newbee looking for a host to train you, ICT is probably not for you.
I have been with this agency for 10 years. I have been with other host agencies that weren’t great fits. This is the best host agency. This family of owners gives the most support of any host agency I have been with. Their website is filled with tools we need to make our business successful. When you call they take the time to help you and if you email, you get prompt replies. If you need a host agency that values you, this is the one.
Incentive Connection Travel is the very best Host Agency! What they represent to do, is exactly what they do. They are professional, supportive, and completely TRUSTWORTHY.
I started with Incentive Connection Travel when I first got into the industry and had a pretty horrible experience. I found support to be 0, getting paid for commissions next to impossible, and if you want to actually get one of these "family members" on the phone, forget about it. Getting passwords to suppliers websites took weeks and I was repeatedly overcharged for various fees. My experience was probably further soured due to the fact that I was new with limited experience and could have used extra support which was not available. I admit I have no grounds for comparison as I have been blissfully independent since 2011.
My wife (Paula) and I entered the travel field in 1997 and joined Incentive connection Travel in 1998. We searched for almost a full year before finding a host agency.
Since 1998 we have had no reason to look for another host agency as they have always provided what or even more than they promised.
There are many host agencies available, but while you are looking to either move to a new one or are new to the industry, make sure you check out Incentive Connection Travel.
I highly recommend Incentive Connection Travel to be your host agency.
They offer excellent support, education, E&O Insurance, Commission and document software that can save hundreds od dollars.
THE BEST!! GREAT PEOPLE!!
I have been in the travel business since 1985 . I worked for three other Agency. 2 of them closed and the third one I wasn't making enough commission with. The agency was losing volume in sales thus losing the higher commission rates and than my commission was becoming very low. That is what started my search for a host agency. I was reading reviews and sending out emails for reviews of their host agency and what was being charged. Than I emailed Harvey at ICT. I think I went thru three days of questions and he answered each and everyone of them. I was nervous being with a host and on my own. But after Harvey's email and constant contact even on a weekend. I felt very confident that I would have support with ICT. The staff (the family) was always available from the moment I joined ICT which is almost 3rd years now. It has been a pleasure to grow my travel business with ICT. I have never been so happy working on my own with ICT and earning money right from the start. They offer Ensemble free and Travel 42 travel reports , we have a list of Suppliers Web sites and the travel resources are extensive. The vendor promo updates are daily on our email. We have contact with rep's, we have chat email with other agents to offer us help on a vendor or rating on a property. It was a great decision to join ICT and it continues to be the best home based travel agency host.Your clients remain yours as ICT protects your clients and your privacy. With ICT you have everything the biggest agencies have but with a Family feel. Highly recommend, come join us!
