I joined the travel agent next door in 2016 and had previously worked in another field so I was completely new to travel. TTAND was very supportive and patient with me and offered support in all areas. I love the flexibility of working from home and yet staying connected with TTAND. Agents are asked for input in all areas from new suppliers to website design. It's a win/win for all!

I recently switched to TTAND from another agency and I couldn’t be happier. The support, assistance and procedures offered by TTAND is absolutely amazing. Learning with TTAND is effortless and I love the team I am building with my senior agent!

I have been a professional travel consultant since 1986. I took the leap to working from home October 2017 and have never looked back! The Travel Agent Next Door is a fantastic company to work for! Support staff is number one! One Big Happy Family!!!

I joined The Travel Agent Next Door a couple of years ago and it was literally THE BEST decision I made with my travel career. Flemming goes above and beyond to communicate with agents via email or phone calls - always checking on us and our needs. The support staff in office is also a huge help! Any questions or concerns are addressed and resolved in a very timely manner making it easy to keep your business on track. Looking forward to more wonderful years of working with these great people!

TTAND has far surpassed my expectations in every way possible! Flemming is simply amazing and is 100% invested in the success of each and every agent working under the TTAND umbrella. The level of support received here far surpasses that of my past host agency. TTAND is constantly working to bring superior tools and support to all agents. We as agents are kept abreast of any upcoming changes as well as the ongoing financial status of the company as a whole. Flemming is extremely transparent and his level of investment in each and every one of us is unmatched. We are not just another number at this agency - it is apparent immediately that our success is of paramount importance to everyone working at TTAND. The head office support group is the best in the business. My only regret with regard to TTAND is that I didn't move over to them sooner!!!

Best move I have ever made in my travel career... TTAND is proactive, upbeat, always on top of the latest technology, trends etc and run by a super aweome team.....

I have just started my career as a travel consultant and I could not be more thrilled to have signed on with The Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND). I talked to several other host agencies, but none were as supportive, informative, and responsive as Rhonda at TTAND. She really made me feel like a part of a great organization right from the beginning!
After signing up I completed the online training and the in-person training and I will say the in-person training was AMAZING!! I don't even know how I would have started without the training I was given. It was so beneficial to meet the support staff from all the departments and know that I was going to be well supported from booking to accounting to marketing!
I am just starting this journey but I can say without a doubt, I made the right choice. If you are new to the travel industry and the host agency you are considering does not offer in-person training I would strongly suggest looking to The Travel Agent Next Door.

I have been in the travel industry for over 12 years, 10 of those with another host agency. While I was quite happy with the support I received from the other host, when I heard from colleagues how The Travel Agent Next Door was going above and beyond what any other host in the industry was doing I decided to take a look. I was blown away with what was being offered by TTAND and decided to make the move. It was the absolute best business decision I have ever made. From Founder Flemming Friisdahl to the amazing team he has assembled, the support is incredible. I truly do not think I would still be in business these months since Covid-19 hit without the unwavering support of this host. Never before have I felt part of a family in this industry. I am proud my agency Xcursions is powered by The Travel Agent Next Door, and looking forward to continued successes ahead for my host, and all of the TTAND Family.

I interviewed many agents and managers for other host agencies after retiring from a major retail travel agency, before making my decision to join The Travel Agent Next Door. I liked the philosophy of win-win-win and being able to work with my husband in the travel industry was the deciding factor. As well as having had the privilege of working with Penny, Flemming & Rhonda in previous roles sealed the decision. The support office staff are highly qualified and professional. The whole support team works so hard to keep us all engaged in a tough year, we are so appreciative of all of them. Five years now and counting, blessed to be associated with TTAND

Why the Travel Agent Next Door (TTAND), you ask?
Your question is a fair one because trying to make the decision whether, or not, to change agencies (or Host Agencies) is a difficult and stressful one, even at the best or worst of times, since you do not know what to expect if you do make the decision to move!
Here's my take on switching to TTAND:
I was a cardiology RN until March 2013 when I came into the travel industry as a home-based agent, right from the start.
I was treated well by my previous agency but  3 years ago I decided to join TTAND at the advice of a friend, one also in our Host Agency Family.
This is the best decision I have ever made!
You have heard about the excellent support for agents - this is not an exaggeration! From the marketing; training; support; follow-ups by our founder, Flemming Friisdahl; monthly Town Hall meetings with Flemming and the lovely Penny Martin; webinars including motivational speakers and suppliers; contests for improving our fitness, as well as those for clients and essential workers, and ones benefitting underdeveloped countries, and efforts to volunteer within our communities, the support never ends.
Our professional support staff, a spectacular group, answer all of our queries forthwith, and the support from fellow agents across the country is also next-to-none.
The mandate of TTAND is to make life easier for their TRAVEL AGENT PARTNERS, so we can give the best service possible to our clients, and they do just that!
I could go on and on, but why not drop me an email with your questions about whether or not to join the best Host Agency out there for Canadian travel advisors?
