I just recently completed the 4-month-long Virtual Campus, immediately followed by an intensive week-long virtual training, known as Essentials. I would strongly recommend both as the Virtual Campus is more broad in scope and utilizes curriculum from The Travel Institute; whereas, Essentials is specific to Nexion systems, policies, and procedures. The instructors, Lisa and Arika (as well as my fellow students in each training), were always positive, upbeat, and encouraging. I am excited to get Majestic Sojourns off to a great start, thanks to the solid and firm foundation provided by Nexion.
I Joined Nexion 3 years ago after my previous host agency was bought out and the culture changed. I initially found Nexion to be a good host agency. They pay on time, the systems are easy to use, and commission levels are great. - the basic nuts and bolts of what I was looking for.
What started out as a good host is becoming a great one. They are constantly delivering improvements in their online tools and my interactions with the staff have gone from just efficient to also being friendly. Nexion seems to understand that helping their agents obtain more sales and higher commissions is a win / win - a simple principle that is too often forgotten.
They offer an air tool with an amazing support staff that allows me to earn commission on air without having a GDS. 5 years ago I hated dealing with air only. Now it's a major part of my revenue stream.
Nexion isn't perfect, but they seem to be striving for perfection.
I was with a different host agency when I attended a conference and stopped by the Nexion booth. I was very impressed and decided to go home and take a look at what they had to offer. Even the signing up process wowed me...very professional. I am totally satisfied with Nexion as a host agency. I love their "hands on" approach and I have been in the company of Jackie Friedman many times, many independent contractors have never met the folks in charge of their host agency. If one is seeking to obtain a host agency Nexion definitely is worth joining as the training is awesome; I have my ACC and CTA and I know if there is a problem with a client, supplier, commission or just exploring I have Nexion Town to assist me. Nexion is the best!
I have been in the Travel Industry since before 911. I started out in a bad situation with a multi-level company that went under. I then went with two other agencies before I became a "Nexionite" four years ago. I can't say enough good things about Nexion. One of your main concerns when you go with a host is will I get my commission? You never have to worry with Nexion. They have been around a long time and we are backed with good solid leadership and so many benefits. VCOM membership was so important for me. It gives you so many great opportunities and great tools.
They have great training and really helpful support people. You will not be sorry choosing Nexion.
I started with Nexion in April 2012, not knowing what I was getting myself into. I had worked with the major agencies, after being swallowed up by mergers and aquisitions, and was tired of the rewards not being filtered down to the front line employees. Plenty of blame, but not a lot of praise.
My clients loved working with me, so when I left, they came with me, and I can honestly say it has been the best decision other than marrying my wife and my children, I could have made. I am so much happier now, making more money than I did in the larger agencies, and my clients are loving the customer service I can provide for them through Nexion.
If you are even on the fence about using a host agency, I would highly recommend Nexion for all that they can offer you, at a fraction of the price! I can’t wait to meet some of the other Nexionites at the next function, face-to-face!
I reveiwed many Host Agencies when making my decision and Nexion was by far the best fit. Commission levels, pricing, education and support are all top notch. I have loved working wtih Nexion to make my business run smoothly so i can concentrate on providing the best service for my customers!
With over 11 years experience with Nexion, I couldn't be more pleased. I operate the only Brick and Mortar agency in a smaller community. Nexion enables me to offer my clients virtually everything (including air) that is available in the largest metropolitan agencies. The staff is top-notch and there are a wealth of tools and resources available--most included in the standard membership plan.
Their training offerings and annual conference gets better every year. If you're looking for the benefits of a host agency, be sure to include Nexion in your comparison.

I just reentered the travel business after a 13 year hiatus to stay home with my daughter. The industry has changed so much it is like starting over in many ways. Joining Nexion has allowed me to do so with confidence. I joined their PowerUp program for new agents. Between that program and their Boot Camp training, I have a good foundation to begin building my home based business.
The staff are very welcoming, knowledgable, helpful and patient. The tools are easy to work with and there is support every step along the way. They won't book your client's travel for you, but they will help you do it professionally. I am very happy with my choice, I interviewed several host agencies and Nexion really fit my needs best, offering the right mix of support, tools and strong commission levels!
Thank you!
I reviewed many Host Agencies before opening my business and I've been with Nexion for over 4 years. Preferred Suppliers, commission plans, training opportunities, assistance in answering my many questions, so far I couldn't be more pleased of the choice I made.
It is hard to compare Nexion with other hosts when I have absolutely no reason to look elsewhere. When I went from working with a brick and mortar to my own agency, I looked at some of the other hosts and chose Nexion based on commission levels and administrative ease. In the 6 years since, Nexion has always been ahead of me in providing state of the art programs, has responded with outstanding services, and has given me no reason to investigate other opportunities. The grass is always greener on my side of the road.
I particularly enjoy the camaraderie that flows from the top down. When I sit in my home-based office, it is so nice to know there is someone else out there to talk to and advise me on those unique requests or just to bounce ideas off of. If you are looking for a host that truly focuses on your interests, future, success, and sanity … partner with Nexion. If you join Nexion, I look forward to seeing you around “Town”, our online community. Stop by Nexion Town and say “hi”.
I have been in travel for over 20 years. I started my own agency back in 2009. My research of host companies brought me to many different agencies. Nexion was actually my first choice but I felt the prices were a little high. I quickly realized after going through a few host agencies, Nexion was clearly the best.
The tools and technology are far superior to anybody I had worked with. There are a few minor issues and I do mean minor. If anybody in travel thinks there is a perfect agency out there, they are wrong.
My time with Nexion has now coming up on two years. The ticketing team is exceptional. I recommend everybody do your homework and look at all host agencies and see what works best for you.
I would be very surprised if you didn't end up with Nexion.
