My business partner and I joined Oasis when we were entering the travel industry in 2017. Neither of us had ever worked in travel (I was a nurse practitioner, and she was a forensic accountant), but we were both ready to take on a new challenge. We conducted extensive research to identify the right host agency for our needs and personalities. Having no experience in the industry but with big dreams and personal goals, we wanted a partner who would offer the right combination of freedom and support. We knew early on that we wanted to be part of Signature Travel Network and focused on finding a host agency member of this outstanding consortium. From the very beginning, we felt that we had made the right choice.
Deciding whether to be with a host agency, work as an employee, become a sub-agent or be independent is a personal choice that depends a lot on your individual needs and both long-term and short-term goals. For us, the benefits provided by Oasis (high commission percentages, technology, back-office support), as well as the highly flexible membership structures, allowed us to scale and grow our agency to be Top 10 (out of over 800 agents) within a few short years. In addition, the entire team, including the front line and back-office staff, are dedicated, professional, and highly accessible even to new agents. We have learned a great deal about the industry from the Oasis team and the many exceptional advisors we have met over the years who have become our dear friends.
During the Covid pandemic, Lee and the entire Oasis team stepped up and went above and beyond to mitigate losses, help advisors negotiate refunds, restructure their membership options to make them more affordable, and provided exceptional support to the members. I believe that many companies can do a relatively good job when times are good, but only outstanding companies can maintain their standards and exceed expectations during a crisis. After weathering the storm with Oasis, I can wholeheartedly say that they are unique in the industry.
No agency or consortium is perfect, and of course, there is always room for improvement, but I appreciate that the Oasis team takes time to listen to our concerns and feedback. If you are a driven, independent, resourceful, and goal-oriented professional who wants to belong to a host agency for added support, higher commission structures, and a sense of community, then Oasis is for you.
I knew I wanted to be a travel advisor since I was 17 years old. When I first set out on the journey to be a travel advisor it was important to find a host agency where I truly felt supported, got great education, and felt motivated. After much research I found OTN. I’m happy that I did. I wouldn’t go to another host agency. I have had more accomplishments with this company than any other agency I’ve worked for or with. Although I’m still considered fresh and am learning, I can see a bright future and see myself obtaining my goals with the help of all the mentors and resources OTN offers. This company is top in the industry and I’ve seen firsthand when I’ve attended conferences in the past that travel companies sing our praises and we get special recognition. I’m grateful to be a part of OTN and I’m excited for what the future holds.
How often does a CEO of a company of 900+ people recognize you and know your name at a company conference? Well, that happened to me at OTN's most recent conference in Cabo. OTN feels like family. Excellent onboarding and ongoing education. Highly respected by suppliers. Superb response to any problems or concerns. I have experienced two other host agencies and would definitely recommend OTN.
I've been with OTN since 2013. I originally started my business in 2011 with another agency and it has been a night and day difference with the support that OTN offers us. They not only offer training to help us grow our business, we have great oppurtunities to meet with our supplier representatives on a personal level to further our relationships with their products and know that we have someone on our side when we need them.
OTN cares about your education and success! With a wide variety of training and product updates; they make sure it's easy to accomplish your goals. I'm a veteran agent with over 30 years in the travel industry and I enjoy being a part of their network. OTN is amazing with their agent support and my experience with them has been wonderful!
As a travel enthusiast with a passion for exploration, I can't express enough how much I adore my experience with OTN (Online Travel Network). From the moment I joined their platform, I've been met with unwavering support and top-notch training that has truly propelled my journey as a travel advisor.
What sets OTN apart is their commitment to nurturing talent and empowering individuals like me to excel in the travel industry. The support and resources they provide are unparalleled.

What truly stands out is the genuine care and dedication of the OTN team. They go above and beyond to provide mentorship and guidance every step of the way, fostering an environment where learning and growth are not just encouraged but celebrated.

In summary, if you're looking to kickstart a rewarding career in the travel industry and receive unparalleled support along the way, look no further than OTN.

Thank you, OTN, for empowering me to pursue my passion and for being the wind beneath my wings in this exhilarating journey as a travel advisor!
Oasis Travel Network is a fantastic host agency. The training, and weekly webinars with vendors keeps you up to date on current trends in the industry. Help is a email or a phone call away. They have an annual conference that is beyond helpful in what you learn and the networking opportunities. The commission structure is great and they have a chairman’s club that you earn points to offset any fees or that can be used for payments for the conference. OTN is great!
It took us 6 years to find and become a part of Oasis Travel Network (OTN).
We are glad we did, and are proud of our affiliation. Over the past 5 years we have found that OTN has established and continuously nurtures a WIN WIN WIN environment. That allows for the traveler, the travel advisor and the supplier partners to benefit mutually from the relationships that work in harmony with each other. These relationships which are developed throughout the year include webinars, trainings and social gatherings that produce more sales all around, happier traveler/clients in an elevated level of fun coopertition amongst the Travel Advisors.
A true Win-Win-Win for our clients, partners and us. Thanks OTN!
Since joining Oasis in 2015, I've experienced unparalleled excellence in both business and the travel industry. The training, support, and sense of professional camaraderie here are second to none. There's always someone available to assist, guide, or address any questions, setting the standard for top-of-the-line service and expertise.
I joined OASIS Travel Network in February 2020, an agency respected and connected throughout the industry while providing a stable, supportive, educational foundation for its advisors. Response times are fast for questions, opportunities for learning and connecting with suppliers are plentiful-virtually and through numerous annual events, all while offering the BEST & most flexible commission platform. OASIS provides just what I need to succeed.
Starting with OTN I was coming from another host that did not offer training or anything to help you grow. I was blown away by the amount of tools I had at my disposal. They will assist when you need it and go to bat when suppliers are not treating us right. Make OTN your host, you won't go wrong.
