I have been a Travel Agent for 14 years. The Last two with The Travel Agent Next Door. I have worked in many venues over my career but none that matches, the support, team spirit and the focus to be the best for ourselves, our clients and our suppliers that TTAND promotes every day. It has been a privilege to say that I am a member of TTAND and surrounded by the greatest Travel Team assembled on being the best for everyone. Thank you to all who support the cause and continue to do so everyday!

I have been working with The Travel Agent Next Door for over two years now, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision.

Before joining TTAND, I was working for an independent travel agency, but the lack of support made it difficult to stay competitive in today’s travel industry. As an independent, it simply wasn’t sustainable.

A longtime friend who was already part of TTAND encouraged me to join, and I’ve never regretted taking that advice. The support team at TTAND is truly the best in the business.

I’ve been in the travel industry for over 35 years, and I still love what I do—largely because of TTAND and the incredible support I receive every day.

I have been in the travel business for 16 years now and TTAND is my second host agency. I have an agency under TTAND and have six other amazing agents working with me. I am SO thrilled to have made the move to TTAND back in 2019. TTAND offers the VERY best in support, innovative new technology and tools/advice to assist every agent from the newbie to the seasoned professionals. Training is available both live and online for any who cannot attend many of the live functions. There is a plethora of online training offered on their HUB and through TTAND University and it is updated frequently. You could literally train every day on one topic or another. They offer the largest support department in the industry and are available around the clock to assist in any matter. Flemming stays in touch with all of the agents and truly cares about each and every one - both on a professional and personal level. We are not just numbers to him and that matters a lot to me and my agents. I feel like I have gone from wandering lost in the forest to being a forest ranger! ;) If you are considering a host agency - do yourself a favor and reach out to Flemming at TTAND. You will NOT regret it.

I honestly love being with TTAND as a host agency. Since joining, I have felt immensely supported and I feel like they are always trying to improve and provide tools that make life so much easier as an independent agent. I am always blown away at how much they provide, how much they genuinely care and go above and beyond expectations. Truly couldn't be happier to have made the switch to TTAND as a host agency and I would highly recommend joining.

I am new to the travel industry so I had zero experience with finding a Company to attach myself to. I met Amanda at a public market event and struck up a conversation, shortly after I joined up with TTAND. I was, and still am, very impressed with the organization and how it makes training so easy. There is so much to learn it can be overwhelming, but TTAND's system is so user friendly that learning is actually fun! This coupled with the very hands on support, from my team leader Amanda all the way up to the President/Owner Flemming give me a sense of comfort knowing that there are experienced veterans alway at my side. My local team members are also super easy to get along with and each of them are only a click or phone call away and very willing to help out.

I'm looking forward to future with TTAND, I know they spend a great deal on developing their agents, thus giving the public a truly first class level of service.

I started with The Travel Agent Next Door as an associate, and, after two years with a wonderful mentor, I made the decision to become a primary agent myself. This process has been seamless, thanks to the behind-the-scenes folks who support all TTAND agents. TTAND provides us agents every innovation we need to run a successful travel business - technology, training, mentoring, and networking. It's the best of both worlds, working in a field where I can help people plan their dream getaways, and being helped by people who are invested in my success!

I joined The Travel Agent Next Door four years ago, after being with a different host agency for 10 years and honestly, I’d never look back! From day one, the support has been amazing — Flemming is always there for us, and the entire team truly cares about helping agents grow. Flemming is always looking for new tools and expansive upgrades to help our businesses succeed. They’ve had such a huge impact on both my business and my confidence as an agent.

Being part of TTAND feels like being part of a family — not only do we cheer each other on, we never hesitate to share knowledge. I’m so grateful to have found a host agency that not only supports my goals but also believes in my success.

As an independent travel advisor, partnering with The Travel Agent Next Door has been a game-changer for my business. The support office is truly exceptional—there’s always someone ready to lend a helping hand, no matter the question or challenge. Their team is approachable, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in the success of every agent.

What impresses me most is their continuous commitment to making our work easier and more efficient. Whether it’s streamlining booking processes, providing up-to-date tools, or implementing new technologies, they proactively seek out solutions that help us serve our clients better and with greater confidence.

But beyond the excellent support, what truly stands out is the incredible community of fellow agents. Instead of seeing each other as competitors, we’re more like a family—always willing to share advice, encourage one another, and celebrate each other's successes. This spirit of collaboration creates an inspiring and uplifting environment that fuels both personal and professional growth.

Being part of this host agency means I never feel alone in navigating the complexities of the travel industry. Their unwavering support and the camaraderie among agents allow me to focus on crafting unforgettable journeys for my clients while knowing I have a strong, reliable team and family behind me.

If you’re a travel advisor looking for a home that values collaboration, innovation, and top-notch support, I highly recommend The Travel Agent Next Door!

I started when covid hit so it was a slow learning process but the primary agent who hired me was amazing and I have found the support from all who work with TTAND to be valuable. I am so glad I am with this company and highly recommend them. They offer as much training as you want and are always available to help when needed.

I have been with The Travel Agent Next Door since January 2019, and I have loved every minute of it.
From the original inquiry call I had with Rhonda, to the amazing training and onboarding I did in Toronto, to the incredible support I receive every time I send in an email. The team at TTAND is there to support you and to help you succeed.
I was nervous going into the industry as an independent agent after years at major travel companies. But they helped build my confidence, ensure that I have all the tools I need to grow, and constantly reach out to ensure that I am where I want to be.
Last year I was able to attend the yearly conference for the first time. I was nervous about the whole process, as I have not done a conference like this in over 8 years (thanks to kids and a pandemic). The experience was incredible. The speakers they had were amazing, the workshops were valuable and relevant, and getting to spend time with suppliers truly benefited my business.
Though I am not a TTAND branded agent, I am so incredibly proud to be apart of this community. They truly put the agent first and ensure we are all getting wins!
