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!!
I took my time and did a lot of research when deciding to choose a host agency and I'm glad I chose TTAND. I started with TTAND as a newbie to the industry in mid-2019 and the support from all the Head Office team, as well as all the agents that are part of the TTAND family, has been incredible and needed. Having never been in the industry before, I can confidently say that I would not have made it through the Covid years without their support and guidance. It's not just "lip-service" when they say "contact us with any issues/questions - that's what we're here for"; it's true; I know because I've called with some really naive questions and never felt that I was a bother or that they'd heard the question a thousand times before. I also wanted to thank TTAND for constantly investing in the technology to help make the load a little easier. While nothing will ever be perfect for everyone, you're always taking our feedback and incorporating it into the upgrades and these small changes are making big differences!
I signed up with TTAND just before Covid hit after working for another "franchise-type" agency for 5 years. It was a very strange time and very difficult to get going, but The Travel Agent Next Door provided everything I need to operate as a travel agent and grow my small (but mighty) client base. The agency I work for is branded and everything works seamlessly through TTAND - tech support is excellent. I can't say enough about how secure and confident I feel that I am fully supported even as an associate (although I have to say that everything is set up so well that support is rarely needed). Thank you to Fleming and the entire TTAND crew. You are all awesome!
I've just joined The Travel Agent Next Door, and so far the support has been outstanding. A very professional organization. What they offer here is much more than I thought possible in a host agency, and much easier than starting my own. Having my own online agency in the past and knowing the costs involved, I see the commission split and site fees as more than fair. This was my best option.
Well I just recieved a call form The Travel Agent Next Door's support team. They informed me that I have been with them for 51 months and they were just checking in to see how I was nad if there was anything they could do for me. I just want to say that even after 4 yrs the 'check ins' still keep coming at regular intervals and they are always there to support my business and I even between phone calls! They never stop improving on the support they give us or tools for us to be more successful. I have been with 3 hosts and I have found my forever hosts home. Love all of the team!
I have been in the travel industry for over 30years. I was with a previous host prior to COVID and switched to TTAND. The support and training available has been paramount to my success. I've attended conferences and the camaraderie between agents was very welcomed. Great people, efficient service, and always finding ways to keep us motivated. We're a team, not competitors. We help each other. Thank you to the support team for always being so prompt in answering my queries. So glad we joined TTAND.
I have been with the Travel Agent Next Door for over 7 years. I have been in the travel business for 42. I have been with 2 host agencies before joining The Travel Agent Next Door. This has been the BEST decision for me and my business. It allows me to be my own brand, offers me update tools, and they pick those knowledgeable, friendly, caring support staff. To them you are family not just a number. I highly recommend any agent looking for a change or branch out to join this company THEY ARE 5+ stars.
I have been in the travel industry for almost 33 years working as both a travel consultant and a branch manager in a bricks and mortar environment before shifting my career to be a independent home based agent. I started with TTAND shortly after they started up in the spring of 2014. The trust, confidence, support and professionalism have been second to none. Although I work on my own from a home office, I am really never alone as I am a part of one Hugh community of travel advisors all across Canada who are very engaged and supportive of one another. Our amazing Support team at head office is only a phone or email away!
AMAZING! I made the switch to TTAND 2 years ago during the pandemic. If you are considering switching or getting into the travel industry, look no further. If you are looking for support, to grow your business, and having host agency owners that genuinely care about you and your business, look no further. Even the peer to peer support is amazing. I can't say enough good about this company on all levels. Truly incredible!
If you are considering The Travel Agent Next Door as your first host agency or you are considering switching, believe me, you have found the right host and can stop looking. I wrote a review 2-years ago briefly after signing on with them and everything I said then holds true today and so much more.
First of all, the support staff is unbelievable and it is 100% obvious that they CARE about the agents. And I do not mean just the support via the call center, but I mean everyone at TTAND. Their focus is consistently on getting us (agents) the best suppliers, the best tools, the best support and the best opportunities. Because I was brand new to the industry when I picked a host, I didn't know what I didn't know. Now that I have some time on, I can say with certainty TTAND will play a HUGE part in my success.
Rhonda and Flemming are the backbones of TTAND and couldn't be more genuine. They have their fingers on the pulse of everything travel, both inside and out of TTAND. I recently made an error and Rhonda personally called me after I sent her an email. I have had the same response from Flemming in the past. That is the support you will receive.
I just can't say enough. Choose TTAND. They are the best!
I joined The Travel Agent Next Door five years ago, as a brand new agent. Since then, the company has provided everything I've needed to grow a successful travel business: Amazing support, learning opportunities, connection with suppliers, clear communication, and so much more. And they never stop developing programs to make doing business even easier. I'm so grateful that I made the decision to start my travel career with The Travel Agent Next Door.
