About Travel Planners International

We know exactly how hard-charging, passionate, and high-energy you are because you’re just like us, obsessed with bringing the world closer through travel – and with everything we do, YOU and your business are in our minds.

Your brand, business, and identity are celebrated and supported throughout the lifecycle of your agency.

  • From day one in the industry, when training, community, and guidance are crucial, we ensure you are heading in the right direction.
  • Scaling your business and growing your agency (by bringing on your own advisors) is easier when you have our online education options and fellow Agency Builders community.
  • And finally, when you start looking at ways to retire, we’re there for you to connect, guide, and toast your success as you make your decisions.

Ok, so let’s talk about what we INCLUDE in your fee.

  • Robust proprietary CRM tied to our back office and accounting tools – Data for days to help you manage your business
  • Email marketing program with UNLIMITED contacts for you to craft your own or grab one of our emails
  • AXUS Itinerary builder and Travel 42 Program
  • Marketing Asset Databank: chock-full of videos, social graphics, and images to help you market your business.
  • Advisor Portal that you can access on the go with its mobile responsive design
  • Point and click air, car, and hotel booking engine
  • And double-dipping your opportunities

You see, agencies who belong to a HOST partnered with a Consortia grow their businesses exponentially, all while maintaining control of their business.  With Signature Travel Network as our consortia, our advisors double-dip all day long!

  • Double the sales “exclusive” opportunities 
  • Double the group space – WE SHARE OUR TC’s 
  • Double the travel partner support – build additional relationships at a deeper level
  • Double the marketing options 

When you compare host agencies, you’ll see we rank high in support, our knowledgeable community, and our family-feel. Still being family-owned since 1988, you can feel the commitment we have to our TPI Team Members with tenures from 5 to 27 years with the family. Partner with us, and you are automatically adopted into our TPI Rockstar Family. Our Facebook forums are extremely active, always buzzing with questions, comments, suggestions, and ideas. Not only that, but our fun-loving TPI Team is always ready to help you out with whatever you need. We’ve also got you covered with 24/7 support from our community of solo entrepreneurial Rockstars and Agency Owners.

Let’s go, Rockstar!

Check out our website, call us, or just watch us on Instagram and Facebook – you’ll quickly see the difference! 800-730-6392
