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 started my travel business with Largay Travel as my host agency 8 years ago. I feel that they are the best host agency in the business. Not only have they been a support over the past 8 years, the past 4 months they have really shown integrity. Throughout the coronavirus pandemic, they have kept us updated with the current situation and how to best assist our clients. In addition, their innovation in marketing during this pandemic has been so inspiring. I am very happy that I chose them as my host agency because when things get tough, they are there for us.
Best host agency ever!
Supportive staff, incredible management team, and very inclusive environment. Always feel a part of the team, even though I’m thousands of miles from the Largay headquarters.
The most important part of being in this industry right now is being flexible and nimble. The Largay management team pivots almost on a daily basis to meet the needs of the travel advisors and their clients. Resources and support is readily available and open dialogue and new ideas are encouraged and embraced —- always seeking to make the company the best it can be.
Keep on rockin’ it Largay!!
After being in the Industry as an inside agent for 20 years, I decided to become an Independent Contractor 7 years ago. My one complaint is that I did not do it sooner. Largay is a team of professionals who share and give to each other, help understanding and more support any one could ask for. The times we are in now are so uncertain and navigating these waters are scary and very treacherous. Largay's support for the whole team has helped with realizing no one is alone and we are in this together. The support of Paul Largay, CEO and Amanda Klimak, President has been just wonderful. They are our Cheerleaders who are there always with their compassion and understanding. If you are on the Largay Team you are apart of of a very large network of people who love this industry and want it to survive
Having previously worked in an industry totally unrelated to travel, I wasn't sure where to begin. Enter Largay Travel. I met Paul Largay (CEO) and Melissa Russo (Manager of Host Operations) at the Virtuoso Difference event in Las Vegas and connected with them immediately. I was invited to enroll in their mentoring program, which I found to be invaluable. The instruction I received was thorough and relevant. I'm so proud and pleased to be affiliated with Largay Travel. They're well-respected within the travel industry, and they offer a huge range of services including back office support, invoicing support, client database access, a dedicated air department, and much more. Plus, everyone in the Largay family is fun, kind, and always willing to help. They're true professionals, and I'm blown away by the amount of knowledge and experience we have within our ranks. The management team at Largay exemplifies true leadership, and they continue to offer new and innovative programs, tools, and ideas to grow and maintain our business. If you're new to the industry--or a seasoned advisor looking for a new host agency--Largay Travel is the place to be. You won't be disappointed!
I couldn't be happier with my decision to join Largay Travel! Two years ago I decided to change careers and become a travel advisor. I started researching and interviewing the top Virtuoso host agencies to determine the best fit. As soon as I had my first call with Paul Largay (owner/CEO) and Melissa Russo (Manager of Host Operations), I knew Largay Travel was the ideal fit for me. They offer a very comprehensive mentoring program that is invaluable, especially to someone new to the industry and the amount of support they've continued to provide me as an independent contractor is amazing. Largay's President, Amanda Klimak, along with Paul Largay, are passionate, smart, innovative, committed to each of their advisors' success, inspiring and just FUN! Plus, Largay Travel is a wonderful group of kind, successful advisors offering support to one another. I love being a travel advisor and feel lucky to be a part of the Largay family!
I cannot say enough about Largay Travel. They are the best of the best. I have been an independent contractor for 30 years and with largay for the last 15 years. The amount of support cannot be matched and the amount of caring is beyond belief. The owners, Paul Largay, CEO and Amanda Klimak, President are always available for us and doing everything in their power to ensure that we have all the tools to be successful and profitable! We are one big family even though we work remotely. My only regret is that I didn't join Largay Travel long before I did.
Having been a travel advisor and agency owner since 1992 and member of Virtuoso since 1996, I’ve had the benefit of being familiar with many top host agencies. When I decided to join a host, I talked to 3 companies, all were Virtuoso members, all with strong track records and had great reputations and integrity. I chose Largay because of: their support; their consistent focus on how to help the travel advisor thrive; their investment in the best technology; their participation in the travel industry at large with active roles in Virtuoso and ASTA; their elite status with many vendors, benefitting me and my clients; their attractive air contracts; and the best continuing education available. Mostimportant to me, Largay cares. We support one another in a way that outshines many other companies. We are a family and that caring begins with the CEO, Paul Largay, and President, Amanda Klimak, and permeates every decision made, every action taken. I’ve been with Largay since December, 2016. I often ask myself, “why didn’t I join Largay Travel sooner?” Best choice ever!
Love the Largay Family. I spent my first two years with a small, boutique agency that decided to merge with Largay. As an IC, I could go where I wanted, but I chose to go with the others to Largay, who I had known about and respected. It was a truly fantastic decision. The support from Largay is second to none. They are always seeking to grow in knowledge, skills, and ability and strive to have each and every one of us be the best version of ourself and business. They know no one person is the same and therefore, no one IC business is the same and work to really nurture that individuality while maintaining a standard of greatness across the board. And, we have a ton of fun. We know how to have fun, laugh, and not take life too seriously.
I had always dreamed of a career in the travel industry and once I met with the Largay Team, I knew that I had found a path to that dream. The Largay Mentoring program is a game-changer and gave me all of the tools to be successful. Not only did I receive the knowledge and information that I needed to start my business, I also developed relationships with my Largay colleagues, who were always available to answer questions and guide me, even after "graduation." I couldn't have found a better host agency to give me the tools that I need to build my dream career. It is a decision that I am grateful for every day.
The most supportive company and partners around. A true joy being part of this team.
