In January 2023, I decided that I was going to take the TICO Exam and become a licensed Travel advisor. I first thought I would open my own travel agency under TICO, but when I looked at the overall startup cost, it was I realized I needed to join a host agency to make this dream a reality. After searching the web for a host agency I narrow it down to 3 host agencies, The Travel Agent Next Door, Trevello Travel Group and TravelOnly. I set up meetings with all 3 companies to compare each one offering and decide to go with Trevello Travel Group. The reason behind choosing Trevello came down to the initial application cost, the amount of commission a new advisor will be making and the monthly fees that it would cost. I also had the option to operate under my agency name for marketing and it will be under the TICO and government license of Trevello Travel group brand.

After one 1.5 years with Trevello, I have been very satisfied with the level of support I have been receiving from the inside sales team, to their Business development managers right up to the CEO who is willing to help or address any concerns you may have. Trevello is always looking to improve its technology and they list to their advisor.

Overall you feel like you are part of the family and other Trevello Advisors are always willing to help and support new travel advisors.
