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.
The best decision I have made as a travel agent was signing up with Pickles Travel Network. Pickles Travel Network has the nicest, most supportive staff and members. They also offer the best resources in the industry that are necessary for success. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Pickles!

Pickles Travel Network has been awesome, lots of support and videos to help out a new agent with all the details. The new Dash Board makes it easy to find the information you need and quick access the systems you need right there to open a new window to input information you need. It has all the Business Essentials and Network perks you need.
Thank you, Anthony, for your fantastic review! We hope to continue to support you for many years to come!
For my first year in the travel industry, PTN had a very easy set up structure and provided lots of education. I love that they continue to offer education and make it easy to stay connected to coaches and mentors. As my business grows, I’m excited that they have options for me to become more independent.

Pickles Travel Network is a fantastic agency to work with. I am a newer agent and had started with a very large host and felt like just a number. At Pickles, they know your name and are available for one-on-one assistance as well as offering regular webinars and trainings with suppliers. They have recently changed consortia's to Virtuoso which is a substantial upgrade in the travel agency business. They are very personable, answer questions through email, phone or through their FB group in a very timely manner. It is nice knowing if I have any problems, they are there to offer their expertise and help. I'm so glad to be a part of this agency!

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!
