I recently joined Uniglobe Travel Center as a new advisor and just completed the MentorU program. I found Uniglobe through this website after doing tons of research on my own. I could not have picked a better company to align with. Crystal and the entire team have been amazing. They are responsive, patient and supportive. The MentorU program has given me the tools I need to launch my travel business successfully. They offer outstanding preferred partners and continuous training and connection opportunities.

I came into the travel industry this year as a brand-new advisor, but not new to business, so I approached choosing a host agency the way I approach most big decisions: I did a lot of homework. Probably more than was necessary!

Before I even started comparing host agencies, I researched what makes a good one and figured out what mattered most to me. And I put all of that onto a spreadsheet! I then spoke with several organizations, asked a lot of questions, and narrowed the field carefully. From my first conversations with Uniglobe Travel Center, UTC just felt different.

The people were a huge part of that. Gina was incredibly welcoming, approachable, and transparent. No question felt too basic, and our conversations went well beyond a sales pitch. We talked through how I wanted to build my business, what UTC could offer, and where there might or might not be a fit. Most importantly, there was never pressure to make a quick decision. I was given the space to do my due diligence, which only made me more confident in choosing them.

Technology was another major factor. I wanted a host that wasn't simply operating with the tools of yesterday, but was actively investing in where the industry is going. UTC's investment in modern technology, including its partnership with Tern, really stood out to me. The platform, AI capabilities, and portability of my business data all aligned with the kind of company I wanted to build for the long term.

Training ultimately sealed the deal. My experience with Crystal and MentorU has been excellent. Crystal is a terrific coach and mentor, and I appreciate that the program isn't just about checking boxes or just teaching you how to make a booking. It gives you the foundation to actually think through how you want to build your business. I've changed my mind on more than a few things along the way, and that's a good thing. The learning creates better questions as you go.

Being part of a Virtuoso agency was also important to me, both for the training and resources and because the supplier network aligns well with the clients and type of travel I want to serve.

What has impressed me most, though, is access to people. UTC feels remarkably open. There are opportunities to connect with leadership, experienced advisors, coaches, and other people who are genuinely willing to share what they know. As someone entering a completely new industry, that matters.

I'm still very early in my journey, and I have plenty to learn, but I feel like I chose a host that will support me while still giving me the independence to build my business my way. I'm looking forward to attending Summit and Connect, meeting more of the UTC community in person, and seeing where this takes me.

For another new advisor doing their host agency homework, I'd absolutely put UTC on the shortlist. And yes, ask ALL the questions. They can handle it.

I couldn’t be happier with my UTC hosting experienc. They are professional while still creating an environment that truly feels like family. I always feel supported, and I never feel embarrassed to ask a question or reach out for help—no matter how simple or complicated the question may be.
They’ve also created systems that are straightforward, organized, and easy to learn, which makes running my travel business so much easier. I’m grateful to have a team behind me that genuinely wants to see me succeed. I highly recommend them to any travel advisor looking for a supportive, professional, and welcoming host agency!

I've been an independent affiliate of Uniglobe Travel Center for a year and a half now, and it's genuinely been one of the better decisions I've made in this business.

I work with clients who want to slow down and really connect with a place, its people, its food, its history, not just check boxes on a map. Finding a host that understands and supports that kind of specialized work matters more than people realize until they've tried the alternative. Uniglobe has given me the room to build my niche my way, and the Virtuoso affiliation has opened doors with suppliers and properties that translate into real moments for my clients, not just perks on paper.

If you work, you can go up in commission %.

What's stayed with me most is the people. From the moment I started, Crystal and Rose have been amazing. There's a real sense of being part of something, not just plugged into a system. And if you need anything, the Facebook group is truly incredible. And the training they provide is fantastic.

If you're an advisor building something specialized and want a host that will back you with strong supplier relationships and actually feels like a team behind you, I recommend Uniglobe without hesitation.

When I decided to take the leap and open my own travel business three years ago, I chose Uniglobe — and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. As a brand-new advisor, I was a little nervous about what lay ahead, but the Mentor U program provided exactly what I needed. The training was incredibly organized, and the support from the Uniglobe team was outstanding. Step by step, they taught me how to book travel with confidence and helped me build a strong foundation for my business.

Through Uniglobe, I also appreciate the tremendous value of working with other advisors who are always there to help and give encouragement. Our preferred suppliers are genuinely invested in helping advisors succeed. The encouragement, expertise, and sense of community within my "Uniglobe Family" have truly made my journey as a travel advisor rewarding and successful.

I joined UTC in 2009 when my host agency was acquired by the company, and I can honestly say it was one of the best things that could have happened for me and my business. I’ve not only witnessed UTC grow into the phenomenal host it is today, but I’ve also always felt truly at home here.

The support UTC provides is unmatched for a seasoned agent like myself or for those just starting their travel business. The leadership and staff are attentive to agent needs, continually expanding our network of trusted vendors, and fostering a genuine sense of community among UTC independent advisors.

Although UTC has grown significantly since 2009, it has never lost its agent-focused approach. And even though I was already an experienced agent when I “joined,” UTC has given me the tools to keep learning and has played a pivotal role in transforming my business into the success it is today.

Joining Uniglobe Travel Center (UTC) two years ago was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. UTC truly feels like a second family. The support from fellow agents is incredible, and Betsy goes above and beyond to ensure we have access to exceptional preferred suppliers while fostering genuine relationships with them.

Three years ago, on my first trip after the COVID pandemic, I had an epiphany—I felt most alive when traveling and knew I wanted to pursue something connected to this passion. With no prior experience as a travel advisor, I took a leap and chose Uniglobe Travel Center after carefully considering a shortlist of three Virtuoso host agencies. Looking back, I couldn’t be more thrilled with that decision!

The support, expertise, and networking opportunities I’ve gained through the Uniglobe Travel Center community have been instrumental in my growth. Even as a part-time advisor, this incredible foundation has enabled me to make meaningful progress in my travel business. I’m so grateful to be part of a community that shares my enthusiasm for creating unforgettable travel experiences and picture perfect moments for my clients!

I have been with Uniglobe for almost two years, after a long career in healthcare, and I can honestly say that joining this network has been one of the best decisions of my professional life. From my very first conversation with April, the Director of Sales and Marketing, I knew I had found my new home as a travel entrepreneur.

Uniglobe has provided me with unwavering support at every turn—not only from the management team but also from my fellow travel advisors, who have become an integral part of my journey. The community here is truly one of a kind: a cohesive, friendly group of like-minded business owners who are kind, accepting, and always willing to lend a helping hand. Unlike other agencies I’ve encountered, where many advisors are more hobbyists than serious businesspeople, Uniglobe is filled with professionals who share the same commitment to excellence. We all strive to provide top-tier service to our clients while supporting each other in every way possible.

The resources and guidance offered by Uniglobe are second to none. Our private, active social media group is an invaluable tool, and I’ve never asked a question without receiving an immediate, helpful response. The management team is equally responsive and proactive, always available to assist with any issue that arises.

Thanks to Uniglobe's constant support, my business has grown rapidly, and I wouldn’t be where I am today without the backing of this amazing network. Recently, I brought on my first independent contractor, and the process was seamless—thanks to the support from Uniglobe management, my fellow advisors, and the legal team they recommended.

If you’re looking for a professional, supportive, and growth-oriented travel community, I can’t recommend Uniglobe highly enough.

As a new travel advisor, finding the right host agency was essential for my growth and success in this industry. I couldn’t be happier with my choice! From the beginning, the training and educational resources provided by Uniglobe Travel Center have been exceptional. In addition, the relationships that UTC has already established with the best suppliers in the industry have provided me the opportunities to ensure my clients have truly amazing vacations.
But what truly sets Uniglobe Travel Center apart is the sense of community they foster. It's not just about learning the ropes—it's about building relationships with like-minded professionals who uplift and inspire each other. Having access to this incredible network has been a game-changer for me.
If you’re a potential travel advisor searching for a host agency that values education, provides robust support, and connects you with a welcoming community, I wholeheartedly recommend UTC. UTC is not just a host agency—they’re partners in your success!
