I chose Pickles Travel Network to be my host agency in the summer of 2022, I was a brand new travel advisor and I am so thankful I chose them.
My commission split is amazing, 90/10, their commissions with the suppliers I love and use most often are high and the weekly trainings and support is seemingly endless. They have weekly live trainings that are always recorded for you to watch on your own time as well. Supplier trainings, best practices, marketing, even mindset. Any time I have submitted a support ticket for any reason I have a response quickly and my issue is solved. They also provide so many of the software tools like Travefy etc needed to be successful.
Virtuoso being Pickles consortia is the cherry on top. If you want to sell luxury travel, Virtuoso can't be matched.
Everyone at Pickles is always willing to help, offer advice as well as other advisors helping each other. I also love that they encourage charging planning fees and do not take a cut of them. You run your business the way you choose. They don't have weird things in your contract, no red flags here. I am thankful to have gotten it right the first time in selecting my host agency, they are worth it and so are you.
Pickles Travel Network is a fantastic host agency. Their team is very kind and helpful and they have a lot of training and benefits to put you on the right track to success. I was really happy to see their generous commission split options. Another amazing aspect of the company is that they do not micromanage you and let you truly operate as an independent agency. They are a Virtuoso member which helps us earn more and there's great incentives. I have no complaints. Thank you for the opportunity, PTN! 🤍
Thank you, Angelica, for the awesome review! We are happy you chose PTN as your host!!
Pickles Travel Network is a great host when it comes to their training. They make sure their agents are in the know with what is going on in the travel agency. They also record the trainings which makes it easier for people to watch the replays at their convenience. I also like how the offer a 90/10 spilt for commissions. Most hosts do not.
Thank you, Shannon, for your excellent review! We are honored to be able to support our amazing agents!
I decided at the age of 44 to change my career and go into travel. I researched for months not wanting to get into a host relationship that i would regret. From the beginning Pickles Travel Network have been inviting and supportive. They have filled library’s with Great training and I like the ability to keep 90% of my commission.

I joined PTN in September as a new agent and have found the team to be supportive, professional and available when needed.

PTN has by far been the best host agency! Benefits provided by this host far out way the minimal monthly cost. They do a great job at providing training and the tools you need to be successful.

Working with Pickles Travel Network as my host agency has been nothing short of exemplary, and I am compelled to highlight several key aspects that contribute to their outstanding service.
First and foremost, access to training, both live and cataloged, demonstrates PTN’s dedication to keeping its agents informed and equipped with the latest industry knowledge. This proactive approach not only enhances our individual expertise but also ensures that we are well-prepared to meet the diverse needs of our clientele.
The communication from PTN is consistently excellent. Timely and relevant updates keep us in the loop regarding industry trends, policy changes, and other critical information. This transparent communication fosters a sense of trust and confidence, crucial elements in the travel industry.
The user-friendly agent portal provided by PTN has significantly streamlined our workflow. Its intuitive design and efficient functionalities make navigation a breeze, allowing us to focus on delivering exceptional service to our clients. This emphasis on user-friendliness reflects PTN’s understanding of the importance of technology in today's travel landscape.
One of the standout features of PTN is the sense of community among its agents. The collaborative environment, where fellow agents actively communicate and support each other, creates a conducive atmosphere for success. This communal spirit goes beyond the typical host-agency relationship, turning PTN into more than just a host—it feels like a community where everyone is invested in each other's success.
Contrary to my initial concerns about joining a host agency, PTN has proven to be far from an impersonal, hard-to-reach organization that treats its agents as mere numbers. The personalized attention, responsiveness, and genuine care for the success of each agent set PTN apart.
In conclusion, working with PTN as my host agency has been an enriching and rewarding experience. Their commitment to continuous improvement, transparent communication, user-friendly technology, and a supportive agent community make them an ideal partner in the dynamic world of travel. I wholeheartedly recommend PTN to any travel professional seeking a host agency that values excellence, collaboration, and individual success.
Thank you, Ethan, we are so glad we are able to support your business!
PTN has been the answer to everything I was looking for in a host agency! I was previously with another agency, and they didn't provide any time of support and I was so lost! I feel like I have found a community and home-base with PTN. There is just so much guidance and support, not just from the PTN Team, but from my peers as well. I don't feel like I'm embarking on a lonely journey anymore. I am fully supported and in turn, I'm more confident in a new-to-me industry and motivated to get out there and be the CEO of my business and life! So so happy and proud to be part of PTN! =)
Thank you, Ryanne, for the awesome review! We are happy you chose PTN as your host!!
