Largay Travel

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.

I cannot say enough about Largay Travel. The team is incredible! The mentoring program and support are beyond what I expected. Their reputation in the industry is also impeccable. But most importantly, Largay Travel instills a family atmosphere and FUN into the company. Anyone looking for a host agency could not do better than Largay Travel.

I am new to the industry as of August 2015. My travel career began when I attended the Virtuoso Difference class that is part of Virtuoso Travel Week in Las Vegas. This experience is one I will never forget! The energy, enthusiasm, willingness to share experience and knowledge that took over my 2 days at the Bellagio was incredible. I can't simply put into words what takes place, you simply have to experience it! I already can not wait to actually be a part of the real Virtuoso Travel week! The best part about that is that I will be there with the Fabulous Largay Travel Team!!!! WOW! Talk about AWESOME!!! Currently I am in the mentoring program that Largay Travel offers. It is about a 6 month learning adventure. The members that make up Largay Travel, from what I have seen thus far, are shockingly genuine, real and a wealth of knowledge that are ready and able to help a newbie out! I will comment back in a few months and give an update how I am doing then...I can't wait to experience what is in store!!

I cannot imagine a better hosting scenario. The folks at Largay Travel are a spirited, unique conglomeration of personalities sharing the common goal of offering the best services to our devoted clientele. The leadership of Largay Travel is always on the prowl for the best technology and practices to increase our visibility on the travel scene, maintain relevance in a constantly changing marketplace and support its personnel to achieve the highest earning potential.

I love that working with Largay Travel is never static. We are constantly trying new technologies and practices to determine if they help or hinder us. Some things work and others do not. Management does not cling to dysfunctional tools if they serve no purpose. There is an IC Advisory Committee which meets with management several times a year to discuss issues of importance to ICs and ways to improve the IC experience.

Notice that I say "we" instead of "they." I feel as much a part of Largay Travel as any of the inside agents and equally invested. I don't want to gush and say that Largay Travel is perfect. Nothing is. But, doors are always open to discuss and implement change.

Caveat Emptor....if one is seeking a host to become a hobbyist in the travel industry, Largay Travel may not be for you. The resources at Largay Travel are dedicated to those who are seeing to become professional travel advisors.

Have nothing but love for my Largay family (yes - we all become part). I took months to interview a number of host agencies and although I did find a few that sounded very nice I felt that Largay offered the best support. Now, after 2 1/2 years, I know I made the best decision!
