Joining The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. They didn’t just give me a platform - they gave me wings to fly. From day one, I felt supported, empowered, and part of a community that genuinely wants every agent to succeed.

Their training, systems, and supplier relationships are world-class, but what stands out most is the heart behind everything they do. It’s rare to find an organization that combines professionalism with such warmth and encouragement. TTAND has helped me build and scale my travel business with confidence, and I’m so grateful for the incredible team that always goes above and beyond for their agents.

If you’re thinking about launching or growing your travel business, TTAND is the partner you didn’t know you needed - they make dreams possible!

I was completely overwhelmed and shocked with the amount of support and encouragement TTAND offers its agents. The owner Flemming is amazing at supporting our small businesses. TTAND has given me back passion for the travel business! They listen and encourage and help in all areas to make their agents a success.

The best decision I ever made was to become a Travel Advisor. The 2nd best decision I ever made was to have The Travel Agent Next Door as my host agency. But they are so much more than a host agency. They are the best support team in all of Canada. From the TOP (Flemming Friishdahl) down, each and every person at TTAND has our best interests at heart. We are a family, and I couldn't be happier where I am. Thank you for everything! Beverley Edgar

I am a new travel advisor at The Travel Agent Next Door and I did a lot of research before choosing this company. So far, I am very happy. Some agencies offered as little as 18 hours of training before being let loose on the world. I have had longer first aid courses!

After a really bad experience as a client where the term client service was a foreign concept, I feel capable and supported so that I can provide the best customer service possible. When I have a question, not just one person is there. I have an entire support network of internal staff, various social media groups, and even the top management coming to MY region.

Naturally, starting in any business requires a lot of patience and investments, but I am very happy with my choice.

Joining TTAND three years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. After spending 17 years working for a traditional travel agency where appreciation often felt lacking, the transition to becoming my own boss and running my own travel business has been incredibly empowering.

Partnering with TTAND as my host agency has been a game-changer. Flemming Friisdahl, the founder, is truly exceptional always willing to listen and support in any way he can. The entire TTAND team is fantastic, and our ticketing support team is second to none, responsive, approachable, and always ready to assist.

Both myself and my associate agents are genuinely proud to be part of the TTAND family. It’s a supportive, collaborative environment where we feel valued and inspired every day.

As travel advisors since 2009, We have seen the industry evolve tremendously over the last number of years. Initially, we cut our teeth in the business by focusing on destination weddings and down South destinations. My wife and I were married in Cuba with close friends and family. We have now focused our energy doing groups, specifically Ocean and River Cruises, with as many as 200 clients. Since joining The Travel Agent Next Door, we have been able to offer our clients exceptional value, thanks to the outstanding support of TTAND. Flemming and all the staff have been, in my view, instrumental in assisting our agency to deliver such memorable cruise experiences for our clients. We always feel grateful to be part of a strong, very well managed and collaborative network. We are very proud to be a part of TTAND.

I’ve been with The Travel Agent Next Door for over five years now, and moving here was truly the best decision I’ve made in my travel career. The level of support we receive from the head office team is outstanding — they’re always responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely care about helping us succeed.

But what really sets TTAND apart is Flemming. He always has our backs and leads with such integrity, passion, and dedication to his agents. It’s rare to find a host agency that makes you feel both supported and valued every single day, but TTAND does exactly that. I’m so proud to be part of this incredible family.

As the Founder of Beyond Land and Sea Travel, I can confidently say that The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) has been one of the best business decisions I’ve made. Their unwavering support, superior training programs, and strong administrative systems have allowed our agency and our 18 individual agents to grow, learn, and thrive.

TTAND’s tools and back-office support take hours off my desk, freeing me to focus on coaching, client care, and building my team. Their continuous education programs truly inform, train, and raise every agent to the next level of professionalism.

For independent agents seeking a trusted host agency or for agency owners looking for a solid partnership, TTAND offers endless opportunities for growth, collaboration, and financial success.

I began my travel career with a big box franchise; however, TTAND has proven to be the natural choice for anyone who values superior training, personalized support, exceptional opportunities, and a fair commission split.

Joining The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND) has truly been one of the best professional decisions I’ve made. From the moment I began onboarding, I felt supported every step of the way.

Training & Onboarding:
Belinda’s training was exceptional — she’s an engaging, knowledgeable trainer who made complex information easy to grasp. The quality of the training materials is outstanding, and the pacing ensured I gained tons of valuable knowledge without ever feeling overwhelmed. TTAND University is another gem — it’s a comprehensive, ever-evolving knowledge base that has become my go-to resource.

Support & Community:
The support team is phenomenal. I consistently receive quick, thoughtful replies to all my questions, whether they’re technical, procedural, or supplier-related. It’s clear that the team genuinely wants each independent contractor to succeed. The sense of community and collaboration within TTAND is something I’ve never experienced elsewhere.

Suppliers & Resources:
Their vetted supplier list is top-notch, giving me confidence in every booking I make. The marketing support is equally impressive — TTAND provides extensive materials, customizable campaigns, and creative ideas that make it so much easier to build and grow my business.

Opportunities & Leadership:
There are countless opportunities to participate in FAM trips, conferences, and immersive learning events that expand your network and firsthand knowledge. And the fact that we have direct access to Flemming, the head honcho himself, says a lot about the agency’s leadership style — approachable, involved, and sincerely invested in every advisor’s success.

In summary:
From onboarding to my very first bookings, the entire TTAND team has been exceptional. They’ve created an environment where independent travel advisors can thrive with the right tools, training, and people behind them. I wholeheartedly recommend TTAND to anyone looking for a supportive, forward-thinking host agency that truly has your back.
