Largay Travel

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.

I changed careers a year ago and decided to pursue my passion for travel. After mining this website for the right host agency, Largay was on my shortlist, and I found myself joining them just in time for the training program. I have nothing but good things to say about the entire Largay team. They're such a fun group of eccentric, yet highly dedicated individuals. The levels of support I receive are incredible, and this is reinforced every time I speak to ICs hosted by other agencies. When I call suppliers and tell them I'm with Largay, the universal response is, We love Largay!
Largay never stands still, new support processes and technologies are constantly being experimented with. And where else do you get an email from the boss every time you make a booking?

After a 15 year hiatus from the travel industry, I returned to my true calling. I spent 25 years working for tour operators, airlines, Corporate and General travel agencies. The support and education is wonderful. I feel that I am quickly getting back on the scene, and know that I have all the resources I need to build my own agency this time. Everyone, and mean everyone, is friendly, thoughtful and helpful. Couldn't ask for more!

After over 30 years in the travel industry as a leisure travel consultant and having previously been affiliated with another Virtuoso host agency, I have found the best travel host partner.

Support system staff are professional, helpful and caring with any concerns or problems.

Consistent training by webinars, video conferences, and on-site retreats featuring all aspects of the travel industry.

Agency offers free ENewsletters to travel consultants clients with your own branding and contact information.

Management are striving to find best practices to assist independent contractors (travel consultants) ways to improve their businesses.

Lastly, no matter where we operate our businesses from California to New York, the feeling is the Largay Travel family is always there for you!

After a long hiatus from the Travel Industry, I knew I needed a great host agency to build a successful business and Largay came HIGHLY recommended. I interviewed many and as soon as I met the team from Largay, I knew I was finished with my search. From that day on it has been fantastic. The support and training I have access to is fantastic. Cannot say enough wonderful things about this agency, the mentoring program for those new to the industry and the team environment all make for a wonderful work environment.
