I have been an ITC for Largay Travel for over 11 years. I can't imagine doing this job without a company like Largay supporting me. Their stellar reputation with suppliers and hoteliers makes my job, as well as the quality of experience my clients enjoy top-notch! Although they take their mission very seriously, they are able to provide a warm, caring and supportive place for me to call my Largay home!
I hit the jackpot when I found Largay Travel, I had no experience in the travel business and didn't know anything about hosting agencies. But after long research, interviewing a few agencies, meeting with a few, I knew that my search was finished when I met Paul, Amanda, and Melissa, I knew right there I want to be affiliated with Largay. The Mentoring Program designed and teach by Melissa is A+++ outstanding – comprehensive, Brilliant, fun, innovative, and enriched by the support of the whole team Largay (Marketing, and air travel department). Largay offers a wealth of resources through its Advisor network, Facebook private group, and in preferred partnerships with the best in the industry, also is a big plus that they are affiliated with Virtuoso. Annual retreats are like family reunions, professional development is actively encouraged and fostered, especially through educational travel. Although I'm a independent contractor, have my own brand and work from home, I never feel entirely alone. Have chosen Largay Travel as a Host Agency is one of the best decisions I’ve made in my professional life and one of the greatest reasons for my success as an entrepreneur.
Several years ago I was looking to work for a travel agency in my area. I interviewed to become a home based agent and was floored by all that I heard. Over the years, I found that everything they offered was true and more. Largay Travel isn't just working with a company that has been around for over 50 years. It's a company that makes you feel every bit like you are part of the family. In my 20 years of being a travel advisor, I bearly found an agancy that could come close to what I have experienced here. They help you grow in every way possible which includes education as a sales person and the knowledge of the world. Both the CEO and President of the company are not only professional business people but also compassionate and caring human beings.
I couldn't ask for anything more in a host agency. I researched 3 different agencies before I joined Largay. Largay was the best decision I ever made. The team there makes me want to succeed not only for myself but for them! They are so inspiring. And the resources and constant evolution of the company are beyond compare. There is no way you would not be able to succeed at Largay. It is my family now!
There are not enough words to describe how great it is to work at Largay Travel. I have been an independent contractor for 35 years and at Largay for the last two years, by far the best business decision I have made. A big plus is the direct access to the entire staff , including the owners. Come up with a suggestion or a thought, and it will be heard. Things get done efficiently, and you always feel as if you are part of the team - and your are.
Largay has been unbelievable during the Covid19 crisis, not only did they give us direct support, they have come up with plans on how to survive and improve your business, a sort of reboot. Actually, Largay is about as good as it gets in the travel business, they seem to be doing everything right.
My wife and I owned our agency for 28 years and in the start of 2017 we closed our office as my wife retired. I wanted to keep working as a travel advisor. We had been a member of Virtuoso for 20 years and knew many of the agencies; but there was only one agency I was interested in joining and that was Largay Travel. We knew Roland Largay while he was alive, Paul Largay, and Amanda Klimak for many years. We knew just how much they operated as a family with everyone included- and that their number one concern was helping all their agents become the best travel adviser possible. Amanda, who heads up the day to day operations at Largay is one of the most caring, thoughtful, sincere, people I know, putting each of us ahead of herself in wanting what is best. She and her staff nurture and train people who want to become travel advisers and work in this wonderful industry. My wife, who is well know throughout the Virtuoso community, and I, recommends anyone who wants to be the best and become a successful adviser to seriously consider joining the Largay family. We introduced Largay to our in house advisers at the time-ten of them- and recommended they join Largay with us- which they did and I know not one of them regrets their decision. There are many choices in our industry- but none better than Largay Travel!
I am incredibly lucky to be a part of this company. The support from Paul Largay, CEO, and Amanda Kilmak, President, has been amazing. We truly are a family!
I can not say enough about the support and innovation Largay Travel has provided my business as an ITC. Their dedication to all their employees, including ITCs is awesome. I had not sold leisure travel before joining them in 2012, but they were responsive and supportive every step of the way. As a luxury travel company, they are always providing new and innovative business strategies to help me grow my business. They are truly invested in my success.
In these uncertain times that face our industry there is no other agency I would rather navigate the future with then Largay Travel. The leadership time has remained positive, insightful, inspiring, and most importantly supportive of everyone in the Largay family. Amanda and Paul are invested not only in the growth of Largay Travel, but in each advisor as a business and a person. They will go above and beyond to help anyone no matter the situation. Largay is one big family and there is no better place to be!
I have worked in the travel industry for 40+ years and have spent the last several years as an independent affiliate with Largay. It was the best business decision I have made! The senior management and support staff are ALWAYS there to help and support me. As a seasoned agent booking individual vacations as well as large corporate groups I appreciate that Largay lets me run my business, but, when I need to collaborate or need assistance Paul and Amanda are always there. Over the last few months when we were all losing $$ due to cancellations because of the COVID situation, they did all possible to assist in getting refunds for my clients. Especially my largest corporate client that was facing heavy cancellation penalties with a cruise line. I wouldn't want to work with any other agency. Our annual retreat is not only beneficial because so many suppliers attend and training is offered, the evening events are creative and so much fun. New agents and seasoned agents alike will find what they are looking for at Largay Travel.
I am proud to be a member of the Largay Travel family as an independent contractor. The amount of support from the owners Paul Largay and Amanda Klimak is beyond incredible. The entire team at Largay is constantly growing and developing methods to grow our business in an ever changing world. I am impressed with the dedication of the entire team at Largay as well as relationships with colleagues in the travel industry from hotels to tour operators. Largay truly is the best of the best and has helped me continuously grow and develop my business. I am fortunate to be part of the Largay Travel Family.
