About Travel Leaders - Travel Center
Travel Leaders - Travel Center opened its doors in 1954. The Trettin family purchased the company in 1978 and is now headed up by their son Alex, who began his career in travel in 1998. Having worked his way up and taken on nearly every job in the agency, Alex has a great feel for all aspects of running an agency.
Travel Leaders - Travel Center accepts both experienced agents and those just starting out, with experienced GDS agents getting access into Worldspan. The Travel Leaders - Travel Center host agency division has no sales volume requirements for their independent contractors. Support is offered in both English and Spanish.
