Working with Pique Travel Design has been one of the best professional decisions I’ve made. The support, collaboration, and positive energy among the entire team are unmatched. Jim and Linda Bendt truly have created an amazing workplace culture. It's not surprising Pique won "Best Culture Award" in 2025 at Virtuoso Travel Week.

I always feel so supported and valued. I love being part of a team that believes in meaningful travel and delivering experiences that genuinely delight clients.

After spending 30 years in wealth management consulting, I knew I wanted a host agency that matched the level of professionalism and personal attention I was accustomed to — and Pique has exceeded those expectations. What sets Pique apart starts with the culture. This isn't a massive agency where you're just a number on a roster. From day one, I had direct access to the owners, which made all the difference in feeling supported and valued as I built my travel business.
What I appreciate most is that Pique meets you where you are. Whether you're brand new to the industry or bringing years of experience from another career, they tailor their support to your specific stage of growth. There's no one-size-fits-all approach here — they genuinely want to understand your goals and help you get there.
Every single person I've interacted with at Pique — from fellow independent contractors to the internal team — has been engaging, generous with their time, and genuinely invested in helping me succeed. I've never had a question go unanswered or felt like I was imposing by reaching out. The community they've built among their affiliates is collaborative rather than competitive, which is rare and refreshing.
If you're looking for a host agency with a strong Virtuoso affiliation, an innovative and supportive culture, and leadership that is accessible and hands-on, Pique Travel Design is the real deal. I couldn't be happier with my decision.
