I've been with Travel Quest Network for almost six months now, and I have to say I am very happy with them as my host agency. I spent quite a bit of time digging through the reviews with HAR, and after attending the course for HAR, I narrowed my list down to 3 host agencies with TQN being one of them. They checked all the boxes for me, and I'm glad that I'm with them. They offer a good blend of support, while being hands off enough to let me run my business. They have lots of in person event options, trainings and their commission model is fair and easy to understand. The best part of them I feel, is that they are constantly upgrading their platform. Whether its the CRM, Itinerary builder, suppliers or trainings, it feels like they're trying to get better and better every month. The facebook groups, connections, and chats also enhance the experience for new travel agencies. I'm very happy that I chose them and can't wait to see what new things they'll keep rolling out in the future.
Love this agency and the work they’ll be helping me with doing for my Agency.
Hi Michael, thanks for the review! We're very excited to start working with you and can't wait to see you and your company grow! We look forward to many more years of working with you.
The search for the right host agency is one of the most important steps in starting your travel business. In 2015, I spent a lot of time researching and narrowing down my choices to a select few. Once I had my telephone interview with Angie, I knew immediately that TQ was the host for me. Everyone says the Travel Quest is like a family, and it's true. The owners, Bonnie and Walt, and the TQ staff, are so warm and welcoming and genuinely care about you and your business. They pour so much of themselves into their support of your business, no matter how big or small you are. I started with no experience, and my business has grown exponentially year after year. I believe that my success as a travel agent is a direct result of the choice to join TQ. I don't believe I would have had the courage to take on some of my most lucrative clients without their help. Now, I feel confident and competent in my business, but always know that if I need something, they will go to bat for me. I consider the members of the Travel Quest team my family and my friends. If you are looking for the right host agency fit, just give them a call and see what I mean!
Wendy,
Wow, it has only been 2 years, it seems longer. It's been fun getting to meet you at conferences and workshops even though we are states apart. I am so grateful to get to watch your travel business grow leaps and bounds. You have all of the ingredients a person needs to be a true success. Thank you for your kind words, we appreciate you more than you will ever know.
I have been with Travel Quest since I first started my travel agency as a new agent 6 years ago. They have been absolutely fantastic throughout all these years and I couldn't ever imagine using a different host agency. They are so patient and so helpful with any type of assistance that you could possibly need. You can always pick up the phone and they are available for you right away. The owners - Bonnie and Walt are very involved with all of their agents and they truly make Travel Quest feel like a family! :)
Stephanie,
Wow 6 years already!!! Time really does fly by when your a Travel Agent! We are so happy that you have been an agent with us for this long. We couldn't imagine you having another host agency as well! We are so happy to have you a part of the Travel Quest family and look forward to many years working alongside you!! Thank you again for your kind words!!
I have worked with Travel Quest for the past year. The resources to create a business and numerous training opportunities has been invaluable. They patiently answer all my questions.
When we had a challenging customer situation, they helped me facilitate communication with the supplier and the customer to give the best travel experience to the customer. The kindness and support was fantastic. I couldn't imagine working with any other agency.
Elizabeth,
Thank you so much for your review! We truly appreciate all of our agents and the hard work and dedication that you all put forth as well. I am so happy that everything worked out for you in the end and we able to help your customer have a great travel experience! Thanks again for your kind words!! We truly appreciate your feedback!
To Bonnie, Walt, & the ladies who make the magic happen behind the scenes THANK YOU again and again for your unending support from my very 1st inquiry about Travel Quest and beyond.
They always pick up the phone and are PATIENT. No question is too big or small. Imagine having a vision and finally having the right support to help you realize it...well that's the team over at Travel Quest.
I attended my very first Travel Quest National Conference this year and I was floored by the excitement, engagement, & openness by everyone who attended. I had awesome networking opportunities, met many vendors, walked away with a whole extra carry on of materials goodies for my future guests, & made some new friends. Travel Quest delivered a really beautiful event and I was able to stay in the same hotel as the conference. I even got an opportunity to MIC up and do a mini interview.
This place is more like family than host agency and I appreciate their genuine desire to help me grow my business.
Naomi,
This review truly brought tears to my eyes, well happy tears. We strive to make this a host agency that has everything you said, patience, open arms and support. I am happy that we are able to be a part of your growing business. I am so excited you had the chance to experience our conference. It is truly a labor of love. It worth it on our end when we get to meet you the agents and learn with eachother. Thanks again for the kind words it made my day!!!
I worked for for an agency affiliated with a large well-known franchise,I wished to start my own agency. I did a good deal of research about what direction to take and Travel Quest is a standout! What a great decision! Night and day from my previous agency.I love the positive friendly professional support TQ offers from owner Bonnie Lee to TQ agents on our FB page. The freedom to present my own brand and have access to TQ, as well as the backing of Travel Leaders make for a solid base. Commission plans are flexible and very fair. The tools available from both TQ and Travel Leaders are comprehensive and easy to use. I have loved working with TQ from day one and find new appreciation for them every day! I look forward to many years as a part of the TQ family!
Hi Ellen,
We look forward to many more years of working with you. I am so happy that you can represent your name and brand. We strive to help agents grow!
I've have been with Travel Quest for almost 2 years, and I'm so grateful that our paths crossed as I began on my journey of selling Travel! Bonnie and her team at Travel Quest always go above and beyond to help us agents. It truly is a family, and they know you by name! I'm looking forward to many, many years and a long future with Travel Quest!
Hi Emily! The best part of going to work every day is that I do get to work with "family". I look forward to many, many years as well!
Have a wonderful Friday!

I have been with Travel Quest for over 3.5 years and I can recommend them 100%! They were very helpful when I was starting out as an agent and their support has continued as I have become a more seasoned agent. Travel Quest fosters a collaborate environment and has a forum and FB group where agents can ask questions or ask for recommendations from fellow agents and Travel Quest staff. Travel Quest has a Commission Manager, so it is easy to keep track of commission payments and pays agents once a month....always on time. Travel Quest is big enough to have relationships that matter (with suppliers and Travel Leaders), but isn't so big that you feel like a number.
We are so happy to have you as one of our agents Tracey!! You are a joy to work with! We pride ourselves on great customer service and being there for our agents whenever they need us. Thank you for being a part of Travel Quest!
I have been with Travel Quest for all of 3 weeks and I'm so happy to have met such caring, supportive people. They have been extremely responsive. I even got a support response from Bonnie who helped me with a river cruise FAM that's happening in 2 weeks! I'm learning and booking my own hotels in Budapest and couldn't be happier. Love my new travel life!
Hi Laura...
It is so much fun on my end to talk to new agents .... just entering the industry. Remember to keep us posted on the AMA FAM! We can't wait to hear your impression of the cruise, AND how you felt it will impact building your niche "river cruise" marketing plan.
From Snowy Minnesota!

I have been with TQ for two months now. As I'm very green I know very little to the agency sites and what to do on this side of the ball so I've received so much help and support from TQ staff.
Thank you so much for your kind words Jackie and for taking the time to write such a nice review.
