Quite honestly, if I could give Pickles Travel Network more than a 5 star review I would! I am still a relatively new agent, however I started my journey as a TA with a host agency that was not supportive at all and did not care that I had no idea what I was doing. As a Type A, perfectionist - that was so difficult for me. But it led me to really researching and looking into who my second host agency would be - because I wanted that to be my final host agency.
I interviewed a few different hosts, and though they were all lovely, I was almost immediately in awe of PTN. Right away you can tell their dedication to their ICs and how much they care about your success.
Once you start with PTN you immediately feel like family! Their entire staff is so incredible and they just CARE so much. On top of that, all of their staff are TAs themselves, so when you are going to them for help/guidance they actually know what they’re talking about. When they give you their opinion/guidance/advice they are doing so from firsthand knowledge, and not knowledge from years ago - but from weeks or months ago!
Their agent portal is SO user friendly and it’s like they thought of EVERYTHING when they were building it out. Inside of the portal you are able to find so much information and resources. Something that I think is really cool about PTN and helps them stand out is that every single week (except for holidays of course) they have multiple live training sessions available for you to attend. These are a mix between training with the PTN staff to ask questions (they have an awesome New Agent Training they do regularly), training that focuses on a specific niche or area/destination, AND regular training with the suppliers that they partner with. What I also love is that if you’re unable to attend these training sessions for whatever reason you don’t have to worry. They have an impeccable upload schedule each week so if you miss a training you were hoping to attend, you’ll know exactly when it will be available to you.
And the big question - commission split. PTN provides you with the option to choose which commission split you want, and the lowest option available is 70%. I was floored when I recently learned that there are hosts who require you to start at 50%. I like that they give you the option to choose your split because it allows you to feel empowered, knowing the split you are receiving is a choice you made.
Whether you're looking for a host for the first time or you're looking to find a new host who will actually support you, I really believe that PTN is the perfect choice.
Pickles is amazing to work with! As a new agent with many questions, they are always quick to help. Everyone is friendly and encouraging. They offer a lot of ongoing training to keep us up to speed on all travel aspects. Their website is easy and informative and they respond quickly to emails. I am so glad I found them!

I really appreciate how professionally Pickles Travel Network treats their hosted travel agencies. Pickles Travel Network is helpful, always teaching and offers travel advisor all the assistance and support they need to grow their business. Stephanie offers so much to help not only the newbie travel advisor, but the seasoned one as well. You would do yourself an enormous service to sign up with her host agency. She is simply the best!

I am a new agent and overwhelmed to say the least. However, Pickles Travel Network has been the best to work with and answering any questions that I have. Having access to all the training tools and multiple weekly meetings has been a life saver. I Would recommend for any new agents who are starting or needing to transition!
Thank you, Isela, for the awesome review! We are happy you chose PTN as your host!!
I am currently with Pickles Travel Network. Their support and help is beyond amazing. They really have helped me shape my business and continue to do so. Starting this business was a little scary to do all on my own but this host company and all the other people I have met through them have been so supportive and helpful. I am so thankful to have found them and love working with them. Thank you so much to the Pickles team!
Thank you, Alicia, it has been a pleasure! We are so happy to have you as a PTN member!
Pickles is an absolutely AMAZING host to work with. I was with another host previously and the host provided little to no support and often sent snarky responses if they responded at all. Once I switched to Pickles I have received so much help, training and support from their team! Pickles is quick to get back to you if you have a question, gets payments to you in a timely manner and has built a community of individuals who celebrate each other. I couldn't be happier to work with them! They are amazing!
Thank you, Mary, for the awesome review! We are happy you chose PTN as your host!!
I began this process about 6months ago, found PTN and scheduled a call with Stephanie. The fact that she took my call and answered all of my questions made me feel this was the best choice to help launch my career change to Travel Advisor from Educator. The support has been tremendous and I am so happy to be a part of PTN.
Thank you, Kate, it has been a pleasure! We are so happy to have you as a PTN member!
I love being an IC for Pickles Travel Network! I am very new to the industry and their training videos created by their staff have helped me so very much. I ask a lot of questions in the private Facebook page and the team as well as other ICs are always willing to help. The Pickles team never makes me feel bad for asking questions and for being a rookie, I'm so grateful to be part of the Pickles family!
Thank you, Elizabeth, we are so glad we are able to support your business!
Pickles Travel Network is a great host and I love all the programs the offer with the membership. The level of support and education is better then other hosts I’ve tried in the past! I love how Pickles try’s really hard to listen to all of us advisors and make changes as we need and I like how it’s easy to communicate to everyone on the team. If you’re looking for a host Pickles is definitely worth it!
