Legato

New agent here - started Jan 2020 just before the 2020 meltdown. I used HAR to find Legato host agency. What a great find! Their platform is beautiful but best of all - easy to use! They have a great network for agents to collaborate and awesome agents. Legato is constantly adding fresh development opportunities, live vendor networking sessions, and features to their knowledge library. So many included features and the best comp structure by far. Did I mention responsiveness? Yes! They are hands down the best agency. Full disclosure: I had 2 agencies for 6 months of the 2020 shutdown - I thought adding one that had a leads program would help me as a new agent. It was expensive and soo difficult to navigate!! At the end of 6 months I closed my account with them to focus fully on running my agency 100% with Legato. Best. Move. Ever! Really made me appreciate the Legato platform and network even more. Legato for the WIN!

Legato is like family. The support and encouragement from not only the agency host, Chris Russo (former ASTA President) and the other advisors, is amazing. I interviewed many other host agencies after leaving my old host agency and Legato checked off every box that was needed, starting with their very minimum start up fee to the commission split. I was overly impressed with Legatos first hand knowledge in the travel industry and the freedom they give you to be an IC, no sales tiers to meet, and no additional little fees here and there. Legato is a hidden gem and happy to call Legato home. I could not be happier and wish I had found them sooner. Legato is in a league of their own with their own live internal "activity feed", to ask questions or to cheer someone else on. If you are looking for a warm and inclusive host agency, Legato is it! You won't ever feel alone, as you gain a family once you join Legato.

You couldn't work for a nicer group of people! Always available. Always happy to assist.
They DO NOT nickel and dime you! An amazing business model that works!
If you're looking to have your own travel agency business, look no further! You have found your new home & family!
I can't recommend them enough!

Even though this is a relatively new host agency I have found that they offer great tools and support. Bill and Jonathan are great to work with always available to answer any questions or help with client issues. If you are new to the travel industry or just looking for a change then definitely recommend giving Legato a call.

If the words Integrity, Honesty, Forthright and Knowledgeable are words you want in your host agency this is the place for you. Johnathan and Bill are the Embodiment of those words. I would highly recommend Legato

As a new Travel Advisor, the Legato team has been there helping me since day 1! There are many host agencies to choose from but I am so happy that I chose Legato because of their constant support and help! They have everything you need and will answer all the questions you have. I feel like I am a part of a team and I love all the plans they have for this company and our future! Bill and Jonathan are the best!!

This is not my first host agency rodeo! I can honestly say I wish it had been. Legato's processes, website, suppliers, model and everything are just first rate. I love love love Legato. They are not rushing me as I am learning, setting up my website, social, etc. They are allowing me to proceed at my own pace, so, I can grow into my business. I am also so grateful for the community they have started. All the other Legato agents are cooperative and seem to believe in the cooperation over competition motto that I try to live by too. Thank you Legato.

I am a full time high school business teacher, I run my travel business in the evenings. After starting with a recommended host in 2017 I got interested in seeing how different hosts run their businesses. I tried many hosts - Travel Quest, Cruises Inc, Nexion, Outside Agents and Avoya. I am now with Legato. No monthly fees, no annual fees and a 90/10 split are great. But for me it comes down to how a host makes me feel. Legato makes me feel like a valued member of a great organization. The members are helpful and friendly. They have a great Facebook community. They are adding new technology, vendors and training to their website constantly. Other hosts made me feel expendable, or they were too large so you got lost in the crowd.

Jonathan and Bill are the absolute best! They are very knowledgeable and are happy to share their expertise. They intervene with vendors when problems arise and help me navigate unfamiliar situations. And the best part is that they respond so quickly and they always follow through. It's a pleasure to work with them!
The Legato agent site is fantastic and has everything I need. I was with a different host agency previously and didn't see their value -- I would never say that about Legato!

I believe it was Providence that steered me to Legato. I had affiliations with several Host Agencies before, but the monthly costs were difficult. I had to realize that I may have to to end my travel agent business. Then voila, I found Legato. Not only were there no startup costs or monthly fees, but also no Consortium! I met the owners of Legato Host Agency and was very thrilled. I was very impressed with the team of Legato, Bill and Jonathan. They are men of Integrity and Humility. They emphasized their desire to want to help me with my travel business. I am very grateful to have found them. They have impressed me with their skills and knowledge. Thank you, Legato! Thank you Bill and Jonathan!
