I have been a part of OTN since 2015, and my journey with them has been nothing short of exceptional. As a travel advisor, finding the right host agency is crucial, and OTN has consistently exceeded my expectations.
Throughout the years, I've witnessed my business flourish under the supportive umbrella of OTN. Even during the challenging times of the pandemic, OTN demonstrated unwavering support, going to great lengths to advocate for both us advisors and our clients. Their commitment to our success has truly set them apart.
One of the standout features of OTN is the abundance of training and resources they provide. Whether it's through online materials, regular zoom meetings with suppliers or engaging in-person events, OTN ensures that advisors are well-equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to excel in the dynamic travel industry.
The OTN community, especially the Facebook group, is a treasure trove of valuable insights and collaboration. The sense of camaraderie among the 800+ advisors creates a virtual office atmosphere, making working from home a truly enriching and social experience. The exchange of ideas, tips, and support within this community has been invaluable to my professional growth.
In summary, OTN has proven to be more than just a host agency – it's a supportive and thriving community that fosters success. I am grateful for their continuous dedication to the success of their advisors and the exceptional experiences they provide for both us and our clients. If you're seeking a host agency that truly invests in your growth, OTN is the perfect choice.
When I decided to enter the industry as a travel agent the most important qualities that I looked for in a host agency were thorough training and top-notch support. All my research kept pointing me to Oasis Travel Network. The New2Travel program Oasis offers is very comprehensive. The entire team, as well as fellow agents at Oasis provides a level of support that I did not think I would find. At Oasis I am provided all the tools and support needed to thrive in this industry, and I am very happy with my decision to join Oasis. I highly recommend them to anyone starting out in the industry.
I've always liked working with OTN but in the last few years I've really come to LOVE my association with OTN. There are the base things like great commission structure and amazing relationships with Preferred Suppliers but it's more than just that. It's the support & people that really make a difference! The educational opportunities and the collaboration with other OTN agents is incredible. I've grown my business substantially in the last few years after attending OTN U and OTN Conference events and our Member Appreciation events. The connections I've made with our supplier partners & other agents has helped me to become a better travel advisor and provide the best for my clients.
I am new to the travel industry and choose OASIS because of their training program. They have been very helpful in helping me start my business. They communicate well, have great travel partners and provide many avenues for learning. I find the other agents to be open to giving their advice and working with me as I learn the industry. Highly recommend.
I started with Oasis almost seven years ago now, and the host agency provided me with the tools and resources to grow my business beyond what I had ever anticipated. I appreciate the training, the weekly webinars with top suppliers, and the very responsive team at the top. I attended my OTN first conference last year, and I was incredibly impressed not only with the OTN team but with the caliber of agents that make up this agency. The "team" mentality means that there is always someone willing to answer my questions or help me out when needed. And the structure with emphasis on preferred partners allows me to maximize my income. I also really like that Oasis is part of the Signature consortium, which allows me to offer great perks to clients. I highly recommend Oasis Travel Network.
I've been with Oasis for a couple years now. I have to say they are the best, great support and great training opportunities. I left my former host after corona pretty much shut my business down. I needed to reduce my costs to rebuild my business as my prior host was quite a bit higher priced. They have a program to fit any business model.
I chose OTN because they have flexible payment plans for advisors at all levels of their career. OTN works hard on behalf of their ICs to make sure we have all the tools we need to succeed in the industry. The best part is probably how the webinars, conferences, and FAMs give us access to the suppliers, which gives us a true competitive edge with our clients.
Oasis Travel Network has proven to be an excellent match for my team! Their commission structure is generous, and they provide exceptional sales and marketing support, along with abundant training opportunities. Additionally, depending on your sales volume, annual fees can be remarkably low or even waived entirely! Being a part of OASIS means belonging to a supportive community, surrounded by helpful fellow agents and a responsive staff ready to assist with any questions. I initially belonged to a different host agency, but transitioning to OASIS has proven to be the most advantageous business decision I could have made.
Finding Your Oasis in the Travel Desert:
As travel advisors, we know the struggle of finding the right host agency. Luckily, for me, I stumbled upon Oasis Travel Network in 2018, and it's been a haven of support, community, and growth ever since. Unlike larger agencies with impersonal interactions, Oasis offers a cozy community of under 900 passionate advisors, translating to personalized attention, readily available support, and a true sense of belonging.
From the start, I felt welcomed with open arms. The Oasis team is incredibly supportive, offering guidance, celebrating successes, and going above and beyond to help me navigate the industry. It's this genuine care and personalized support that sets them apart.
But Oasis is more than just individual help. It's a wonderful community fostered through regular weekly webinars, conferences, and social events. We connect, share resources, and even build friendships in person and in our valuable Facebook group, creating a truly unique and collaborative environment.
Being part of the Signature Travel Network consortia adds another layer of value. I benefit from competitive rates, exclusive access to products and amenities, and the backing of a strong industry leader. It's the perfect combination of personalized attention and powerful resources.
But wait, there's more! Oasis can also equip you with your own personalized website, giving you a professional online presence tailored to your specific brand and needs, a dedicated platform to showcase your expertise, and attract clients.
P.S. Reach out to me if you have any questions about my experience with Oasis. I'm happy to share my story!
When I retired early from Corporate Marketing, I decided that becoming a Travel Advisor would be a great transition. I started to do my research on Host Agencies as I knew nobody else in the business so Host Agency Reviews was a valuable source. Oasis appealed to me in the beginning along with a couple others but I kept coming back to Oasis due to the fact I could earn commission as soon as I started my courses. Their fees seemed to be more than fair and I noticed that many members had been in their Agency for years. As I continued my homework, I was impressed with the fact that the CEO started out over 40 years ago with his own Agency. During the pandemic I switched over to another Host Agency due to their AMEX backing but came back quickly to Oasis because their software and support were far superior. Oasis seems to be extremely supportive of it's members because they are constantly creating new ways to keep Members engaged from interesting conferences to educational venues. There are several webinars a day from their list of preferred suppliers so you never feel that information is out of reach. I also like their closed Facebook Group because it's professional and members help each other with questions, so you can always bounce off a idea or statement from someone like yourself. I have also met other Travel Advisors who I have enjoyed keeping in touch with and I looked forward to see again at future Oasis conferences. If you want to concentrate more on selling Travel and less on red tape, Oasis is hands down for YOU!
I started with another agency and after 6 months I knew I needed to find something new. I did tons of research and everything kept pointing me to Oasis.
The New2Travel boot camp was a refreshing learning experience and I knew at that moment I might the right choice. The staff was friendly, helpful and willing to help you learn. They provide all the tools to help you efficiently and effortlessly run your business from 24/7 commission tracking, free customized websites, and consumer booking engines. The Facebook group for our members is my go to spot for help, as all the members are helpful and quick to lend a helping hand.
For anyone considering a Host Agency in the travel business, I'm an advocate for Oasis Travel Network 100%.
