I have been a qualified travel advisor since 1991. I had a Uniglobe Agency before 911 and I worked part time as an outside sales rep for years while working full time elsewhere. When I lost my full time job at director of sales during Covid I decided to go back to my 1st love of travel and TTAND was the name I heard the most when researching who I wanted to work with. TTAND gave me all the support I needed to get the best prices for my business. Flemming has always responded to my request for help. And the inside customer services people are great! Albina has helped me the most. She not only tell me what do to but she takes the time to teach me. Pamela, James and others have always been very helpful. I love being part of a big team. I met Charlene Smith at my doctors office and she has helped me learn the system more than anyone. I may work from home but I am never alone! I do travel with my team at The Travel Agent Next Door!!
The moment we came onboard with TTAND we couldn't be any happier. They checked all the boxes we were looking for in a host company, and the fact that we really didn't know much about them when we joined came to light each and every year we have been with this amazing organization.
Flemming and Penny have been so supportive of our transition and the staff truly make you feel like family. Under the circumstances with Covid, from day one TTAND has been there for us and really have gone out of their way to ensure that we were always taken care of. Like a true family, they made it their goal to put us first during these struggling times, and this really gave us the reasurance that we chose the right host company for our travel business.
The warm and compassionate staff at TTAND always made us feel welcome, comfortable and proud to be a partner.
Our hopes are that we get out of this Covid nightmare and start to go back to normal in our travel business that has been our passion for almost 20 years now. All we can say is that there is no other host company that we would ever consider after being a part of the TTAND family and if we ever did decide to move on it would be retirement from this industry we have loved for so many years.
Thank you Flemming, Penny and to all the wonderful staff of TTAND that makes this company so special. We truly hope our journey continues on for many years to come!

I was with another host agency & I can tell you that moving to The Travel Agent Next Door was the best decision I ever made. The Leadership & support team always put you first & they are always approachable, listen and try their best to resolve any roadblocks you may have to success. It feels like one big happy family & they have been a tremendous support all through Covid. I would say to anyone considering joining a host agency - look no further - you have found the best - the best in terms of leadership, the best in terms of support, the best in technology, marketing, innovation & compensation. Look no further - you have found your new home!!
I joined The Travel Agent Next Door in 2016 after researching many other options for consideration transition towards for either supplemental income and/or career change. In my due diligence, I can honestly say that TTAND truly went beyond my expectations. For me, that initial call was different from all others and became a catalyst that launched me into a new adventure chapter of life. My experience since continually heightens and exceeds being equipped and exposed to many opportunities to learn through their continual continuous improvement measures. The best part is being surrounded with a fun and supportive community culture amongst both the leadership team and fellow agents who facilitate a family atmosphere. So worth the investment being the best decision ever to have the freedom to explore being fully me having a business to be proud of to grow.
Being an avid traveler (95 countries), I knew that I wanted to transition to being a travel advisor. I looked at a few other host agencies and was disenfranchised with their websites. Knowing that I'd need to build my clientele from scratch, I knew that I needed a host agency with a focus on assisting their clients (aka agents) with the right tools. For over 3 years, I used the TTAND brand - until I woke up with a brand that was right for the experiences I wanted to sell. When I made the transition, TTAND was remarkable. The transition was seamless, all the while they had my back. The actual website is incredible versatile and can be tailored to specific needs of each agent. And the brilliance in that was TTAND knowing to use a platform that allowed that flexibility. Their web support team is remarkable - very responsive and also great listeners. When I say, "it would be really nice to have..." - it pretty much gets developed. But beyond the technicalities of a website, this is a company that truly cares about its agents. We are included in all big decisions. TTAND considers agent needs in concert with suppliers and the corporation. We are never left out in the cold. I've never experienced such transparent management - and if more companies operated like this, the world would be a better place. I love the support with not only TTAND but also other agents. It truly feels like one big family and I would never consider going elsewhere.
I have been with The Travel Agent Next Door since 2015. I have been in the industry since 1995. Moving to TTAND was the best decision I have made in my career. I am always amazed at the new ways they go above and beyond to support us as agents. It is unlike any experience I have had with other agencies.
This past 18 months has been particularily hard on our industry and not once in that time did I feel alone or the need to leave the profession. The weekly meetings, check ins from our head office and continued support kept us going through this very difficult time. Right from the marketing team, support staff, management and everyone in between was always available for a call or email with questions or motivation. With their guidance I know we will get through this.
I am very happy with my decision to move to TTAND 6 years ago and look forward to many more years working with them.
As a brand new agent with no experience, TTAND has shown the level of support required in order to be successful. They are kind and generous with their time and the level of skill they have as a team is unbeatable. A fully designed and functional website is provided days after starting with them. You can really hit the ground running without worrying at all that you're all on your own. Thank you TTAND for all you do to support your agents, our success comes from you.
I started 5 years ago working with TTAND. I really appreciate the Knowledge everyone brings to this Company. Support is great. They are truly a company that cares for their Agents.
TTAND provided me the opportunity and flexibility to pursue my passion as a travel agent. From day one I've had great support from head office and other agents (agents really pull together to help each other out). A wealth of knowledge and truly professional in everything they do. I am glad to be part of this extended family. They are an excellent company to work for!
I have been in the travel business for 22 years, 19 of those years were in a store front. This has been my first experience working with a host agency, and I couldn't ask for a better partnership. Being a Primary Agent with a The Travel Agent Next Door, you are supplied with a team that offers agents 100% support, great supplier options and a staff that is second to none! I am very impressed with the whole TTAND organization - thank you for being the best of the best !!
I moved to TTAND (The Travel Agent Next Door) just this year. Since my move I have received tremendous amount of support from the team. With the uncertainties that is going on this year due to the pandemic, TTAND has been very helpful and supportive to their agents. The e-marketing support is very helpful during this time.
